	Scimitar babbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scimitar babblers are birds in the genera Pomatorhinus, Xiphirhynchus and Jabouilleia of the large Old World babbler family of passerines.
		Scimitar babblers are rangy, medium-sized, floppy-tailed landbirds with soft fluffy plumage.
		Most scimitar babblers are jungle species, difficult to observe in the dense vegetation they prefer, but like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic bubbling calls are often the best indication that these birds are present.

		So far 23 species of babbler (family Timaciidae) have been spotted in Tabin and there is likely to be more species discovered as serious birders discover Tabin and explore the Reserve thoroughly.
		The babblers tend to be non-migratory birds with stubby wings and most are poor fliers.
		Most babblers are noisy birds that get their name from the profusion of odd sounds and chattering noises that they make as they forage in forest thickets and underbrush.

		Rusty-cheeked Scimitar Babbler Pomatorhinus erythrogenys: Great looks at three that popped out of the hedge as we waited to pass the checkpoint at Wangdi, also seen at the lower altitudes in the Shemgang area and Bob and Katie saw one near our Punakha hotel.
		White-browed Scimitar Babbler Pomatorhinus schisticeps: Three birds staying close together were seen by the Shemgang Road (at the rather high elevation of 1650m), adding to a great morning’s birding after the rain had stopped!.
		Wedge-billed Wren Babbler Sphenocichla humei: The relative ease with which we saw this would have been unthinkable a few years ago, and indeed it was only recorded in Bhutan for the first time in 2000.
