Title: Observations and first photographs of the Guadalcanal Thrush Zoothera turipavae and Makira Thrush Z. margaretae in the Solomon Islands
Abstract: We describe observations and provide ecological notes on two poorly known endemic thrush species from the Solomon Islands, the Guadalcanal Thrush Zoothera turipavae and Makira Thrush Z. margaretae . We also present the first published photographs for these species and discuss the differences in coloration observed in the field in July 2016 compared with published illustrations.
