Additions to the avifauna of Mali Robert DowsettandFrangoiseDowsett-Lemaire J. Additions a l'avifaune du Mali. L'article enumere 27 especes nouvelles pour le Mali depuis Dowsett (1993). La plupart ont ete observees par les auteurs lors de deux sejours recents de plus dedeuxmois, en saison seche (2002) etau debut des pluies (2004). L'article inclut egalementles observations nouvelles provenant d'autres sources, publiees ou non. A part quelques especes palearctiques, la grande majorite des especes nouvelles sont des oiseaux sedentaires de divers milieux (Sahel, forets seches, collines rocheuses), surtout des regions prospectees par les auteurs dans le sud et centre du pays. n recent years a number of species have been Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica Ifound in Mali that are new to the list presented Agroup of20 midway between Gourma-Rharous byDowsett (1993).
