						About Papua Birding Outdoors About us What's new?

Archbold's Nightjar Eurostopodus archboldi was only first discovered on Mount Tafa in Papua New Guinea during the 1933-1934 Papuan Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, which was sponsored and led by Richard Archbold after whom the species was eventually named. Despite extensive historical collecting efforts in the Arfak Mountains it was only first recorded there in 1994.

Amazing Arfak

Mountain Owlet-Nightjar Aegotheles albertisi, as most members of the Aegothelid family, responds rather unpredictably to broadcasting of pre-recorded vocalizations and often proves more easily tracked-down on its day-time roost, usually in dense thickets.
