Birds of Cat Tien national park

Many species have been removed due to no sighting for long time such as Sarus Crane, White-winged Duck, Masked Finfoot, White-shouldered Ibis as well as many miss-identified birds. The checklist now only 298 vs 330 species as many documents listed. The list is also need to add recently seen & confirmed Black-necked Stork, Grey-necked Bunting (James Eaton, Birdtour Asia, 2009). The Puff-throated Bulbul is one of a confusion with the similar one, Ochraceous Bulbul.
Thank to James Eaton and Johannes Fisher for their valued comments. To generate the most up-to-date Checklist of the birds of Cat Tien national park with pictures, please follow this link - Check List Generating
