	South India Tour, 2003
		In November 1997, Dr. Pamela Rasmussen, David Abbott and I rediscovered the Forest Owlet, Athene blewitti, in South India.It had been 113 years since there had been a confirmed record of this species and it was believed extinct by many ornithologists.
		Rasmussen had done a study of the species and found that 6 specimens had been collected during the 1880s.
		Winter is the prime time to visit southern India as the intense heat of the other three seasons is moderated, it is the dryer season, and there are more birds to be seen because of the presence of Palearctic migrants.

	Serendipitous species discovery in Sri Lanka
		Deepal compared the recording to other Asian owls, and sent it to Pamela Rasmussen, who agreed that while it sounded like an owl, it did not match any of the species known to occur in Sri Lanka, although it was most like Reddish Scops-owl Otus rufescens.
		From these photographs, Deepal was able to confirm that the owl is strikingly distinct in many characteristics from other Sri Lankan species.
		"The possibility of a new species of owl in a country as well-known ornithologically as Sri Lanka, where the last new bird species was described as long ago as 1868, seemed very remote.

		Hybrid origin of the Imperial Pheasant Lophura imperialis (Delacour and Jabouille, 1924) demonstrated by morphology, hybrid experiments, and DNA analyses.
		In a recent collaboration, she and co-authors showed (using morphology, hybrid experiments, and DNA) that the Imperial Pheasant, previously thought critically endangered, is actually of hybrid origin and not a valid species.
		She is undertaking research to test ecological and biogeographic hypotheses regarding latitudinal, climatic, insular, and altitudinal patterns of geographic variation in morphology, dimorphism, vocalizations, and diversity in South Asian birds.

		Reports say the species has now been `split' by Ornithologist Pamela Rasmussen into a new species endemic to Sri Lanka, the Ceylon Swallow (Hirundo Hyperythra).
		The Sri Lanka list is enriched by two migrant races the Indian Red-Rumped Swallow (Hirundo Daurica Erythropygia) and the much scarer Nepali Red-Rumped Swallow (Hirundo Daurica Nipalensis).
		Around 30 Blyth's Pipits (Anthus Godlewskii) and Indian Red-Rumped Swallows (Hirundo Daurica) had earlier been observed near the Park entrance.

		Over the next six years he heard the call several more times, at Kitulgala and at Sinharaja Forest Reserve, but was never able to observe the calling bird.
		In February 1995, Deepal H. Warakagoda first heard and tape-recorded an unfamiliar owl-like call at night in Kitulgala Proposed Reserve, a rainforest in the wet zone of Sri Lanka.

		By May 2002, a study launched by Deepal and colleagues, under the auspices of the Department of Wildlife Conservation and Forest Department of Sri Lanka, had found the new owl in five different forests, and detected at least 24 individuals.
		"Therefore it was essential to collect a specimen of the new owl, but we were reluctant to do so at this stage because its population and conservation status were unknown "

		On 25 November, 1997 the Forest Owlet or the Athene (Heteroglaux) blewitti, which had been considered extinct since 1884, was rediscovered by three American ornithologists, Pamela Rasmussen, Ben King and David Abbott, in a tropical dry-deciduous forest at the foothills of the Satpura Mountains near Shahada, Maharashtra.
		This is evidenced by the fact that the Forest Owlet, considered to be extinct for 113 years, was rediscovered in 1997 and that sightings are being reported further afield from its original habitat.
		They are hunted for their parts that form an integral part of atavistic rites and superstitions in local lore lead to the capture of these birds from their nest holes.
