Abstract

Mist netting technique was used to study the community structure of understory bird presence in Lubok Tapah base camp, Endau-Rompin National Park, Johore. Two hundred and six individuals who comprised 62 species from 16 families were captured. A majority of bird species that were captured after 1840 net-hours operation were residents (90.3%) and smaller birds (48.3%). Three families, namely Timalidae (babbler), Pycnonotidae (bulbuls) and Muscicapidae (flycatcher) were abundantly sampled. The most abundant species, however, were Yellow-Bellied Bulbul (Criniger phaeocephalus), Grey-headed Babbler (Stachyris poliocephala) and Rufous- collared Kingfisher (Halcyon concretd).
