Mount Kinabalu, in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo, is the highest mountain in southeast Asia and a world heritage site. Towering over the surrounding lowland rainforest at 4095m high, the mountain and its forested slopes are home to a unique community of tropical rainforest birds, many of which are endemic to the mountains of Borneo. Kinabalu Park Headquarters sits at mid-elevation on the slopes of the mountain and is a world-renowned birdwatching site home to many special birds including the iconic “Whitehead’s Trio” (Broadbill, Spiderhunter, Trogon). Over the past decade, Dr. Thomas Martin of the University of Montana has led a research project studying the birds of the park headquarters. This project has greatly advanced our knowledge of tropical avian ecology and, more broadly, life history evolution. Dr. Martin and his graduate students have produced many publications from this project in high impact journals such as Science, Nature Climate Change, Ecology Letters, Functional Ecology, The American Naturalist, and many more. This video represents a personal tribute to the wonderful birds of Mount Kinabalu, and was filmed mainly by myself over three field seasons (2018-2020) of research in the park. I have also included some clips filmed by friends. I also used a couple audio recordings by Greg Irving and Frank Lambert to improve the audio of this video. • Myself and everyone involved with the project would like to thank… • -Sabah Parks for their many years of support of this project. • -The government of Sabah and the Sabah Biodiversity Centre for permitting the research. • -The University of Montana. • -The National Science Foundation for funding a decade of research on Mount Kinabalu. • -All of the local Sabahan people who always welcomed us and made us feel at home in Sabah. • I also give thanks to these people for their contributions to this video… • -Rayner Ray found the Chestnut-crested Yuhina nest. • -Raoul “Nonno” Gobbo found the Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher and the Hair-crested Drongo nests, and found and filmed the Mountain Wren-Babbler nest. • -Jordan Boersma found and filmed the 1st Fruithunter nest. • -Connor Armstad found and filmed the 2nd Fruithunter nest, and found the Mountain Tailorbird nest. • -Richard Aracil found the Yellow-breasted Warbler, Indigo Flycatcher, and Sunda Laughingthrush nests, and found and filmed the Bornean Forktail nest. • -Jonathan Eckerson found the Little Pied Flycatcher nest, and found and filmed the Mountain Leaf Warbler nest. • -Karl Heide found and filmed the Chestnut-backed Scimitar Babbler nest, and found the Checker-throated Woodpecker nest. • -Adam Mitchell found the Ochraceous Bulbul nest. • -Derek Arnold found and filmed the Whitehead’s Spiderhunter nest. • -Skylar Sargent found the Orange-backed Woodpecker nest. • -Enroe found and filmed the Bornean Treepie nest. • -Ryan Steiner found and filmed the Pale-faced Bulbul and the Orange-headed Thrush nests. • -Riccardo Ton filmed the Mountain Tailorbird nest. • -Holly Jackson found the Gray-chinned Minivet nest. • Also shoutout to the Borneo 2018-2020 field crews for being awesome and making it an unforgettable time. • Species featured: • 0:00 - Introduction • 0:23 - Whitehead's Broadbill • 1:58 - Chestnut-crested Yuhina • 2:33 - Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher • 3:29 - White-browed Shortwing • 4:07 - Temminck's Sunbird • 4:30 - Bornean Green-Magpie • 5:13 - Fruithunter • 6:16 - Yellow-breasted Warbler • 6:51 - Bornean Stubtail • 7:54 - Golden-naped Barbet • 8:53 - Mountain Scops-Owl • 9:29 - Little Pied Flycatcher • 10:09 - Chestnut-backed Scimitar Babbler • 10:43 - Bornean Whistler • 11:36 - Red-breasted Partridge • 11:51 - Ochraceous Bulbul • 12:36 - Asian Emerald Dove • 12:52 - Whitehead's Spiderhunter • 13:17 - Everett's Thrush • 14:06 - Indigo Flycatcher • 15:03 - Black-capped White-eye • 15:28 - Collared Owlet • 15:59 - Bornean Forktail • 16:21 - Mountain Leaf Warbler • 16:50 - Sunda Cuckoo • 17:40 - Orange-backed Woodpecker • 18:26 - Mountain Wren-Babbler • 18:58 - Snowy-browed Flycatcher • 19:39 - Ashy Drongo • 20:05 - Mountain Imperial-Pigeon • 20:39 - Bornean Treepie • 21:11 - White-throated Fantail • 22:05 - Barred Eagle-Owl • 22:25 - Mountain Barbet • 22:41 - Pale-faced Bulbul • 23:22 - Checker-throated Woodpecker • 23:44 - Mountain Tailorbird • 24:05 - Temminck's Babbler • 24:32 - Crimson-headed Partridge • 25:02 - Gray-chinned Minivet • 25:44 - Bornean Whistling-Thrush • 26:07 - Hair-crested Drongo • 26:32 - Orange-headed Thrush • 27:11 - Sunda Laughingthrush • 27:39 - Whitehead's Trogon
