New Information on the Distribution of White-Fronted Microhierax latifrons and Black-Thighed Falconets M. Fringillarius in Kalimantan, Indonesia

The White-fronted Falconet Microhierax latifrons is well-known as the near-endemic falconet in Sabah (Ferguson-Lees & Christie 2001, Sheldon et al. 2001, Mann 2008). Although it is a forest-edge species, it is listed as Near Threatened owing to its restricted range and reliance on lowland forests coupled with the likely decline and degradation of these habitats (BirdLife International 2012). To the west and south of its range, its congener the Black-thighed Falconet M. fringillarius occupies the remaining, larger part of the island of Borneo. Forktail, Vol. 28. Hal. 162-163
