Beskrivelse: Endemisk til det sydlige Etiopien. Efter at have tjekket store figentræer ved det udtørrede flodleje ved Genale hele morgenen, uden at se noget til fuglene, måtte jeg krybe til korset, og hyre den lokale guide, Adem. Blev kørt ca 4 km sydpå på knallert, hvor en lokal bonde havde 100% styr på fuglene, og inden for 5 minutter, kunne Turacoerne nydes. Et par dage senere kunne jeg heldigvis selv finde min egen Ruspoli i nærheden af Negele Borana.

Another good site for Prince Ruspoli's Turaco is Bobella forest, close to Arero. In mid February this year, I encountered some 30 individuals in that area, actively feeding in the fig trees. http://www.avifauna.se/file/Bobella.jpg?Path=2&ID=4494&File=Bobella.jpg Google Earth: 4 46'15.67"N 38 49'47.52E

Many thanks, JENS, for showing us the scarce RUSPOLI's! It was not discovered until the 1890s by Italian Prince Ruspoli, and after his death described by T. SALVADORI. Apparently it sits in a Fig tree. Are there also Junipers in the area (mentioned by Praed & Grant)? _______________________ Unlike Trogons, Turakos are found in Africa, only. Probably due to their attractive exterior, they were often given (English and scientific) names after prominent persons, such as Dr. LIVINGSTONE and HARTLAUB. (Somewhat like Narina's Trogon...). In the recent Danish names, Ruspoli, BANNERMAN and ROSS were, however, omitted. PS: Ross's / M. Rossae refer to LADY Ross - and are NOT in any way synonymous with Ross's Goose... [ §:-)))] The latter Ross was Canadian, in the Hudson Bay Co. The British Lady kept feathers of a Turaco which contributed to John GOULD's determination of the NEW African species: Ross's / Rossae. JENS: Also many thanks for Your recent Wattled Ibis! KR .......... C.
