Notes on Breeding Behaviour, Ecology, Taxonomy and Vocalisations of Satanic Nightjar Eurostopodus diabolicus in Central Sulawesi

Listed in RIN Data Repository

<p> The Satanic Nightjar Eurostopodus diabolicus, rediscovered in 1996, is a hitherto poorly known nocturnal bird endemic to Sulawesi’s hill and montane forests with only two documented nest records to date.

Description

Here, we describe two further nest records from the Anaso track in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), Central Sulawesi, which extend the known breeding season by five months. This suggests the breeding season lasts at least seven months, from March to October.

Both nests were on the ground in forest clearings with at least a partial ground cover of ferns and moss, and both contained single chicks. The nestling period was at least 31 days. Our records of vocalizing individuals at 2,300m asl extend the known upper elevation limit of the species.

Apparent plumage and vocal differences between birds in North and Central Sulawesi suggest that the species is not monotypic, although further study is needed. </p> <p> Kukila, Vol. 16, No. 1. Hal. 16-29 </p>
