I wanted to encourage you to search using Google Scholar to discover additional Bird related publications that could be added to your Bird data file.

The RBIS design allows for data tracking over time, and one of the indicators of biodiversity includes how bird populations have changed over time. It is thus useful to include additional data points of bird observations from publications when the location (including georeference) is provided.

I attach some papers I found on Google Scholar. I have not evaluated their usefulness or geographic context - I merely wanted to demonstrate the importance of exploring alternative sources of data. Boedts_2016 Rwanda.pdf Derhe et al 2020 status_diversity_and_trends_of_the_bird_communities_in_volcanoes_national_park_and_surrounds_rwanda.pdf Fain 1993.pdf Gatali&Kjell-bird diversity-Akagera-2015 published.pdf Gatesire 2012.pdf Gatesire et al 2014.pdf Higg & Vande weghe2 A response to Gatali and Wallin 2015 Bird diversity.pdf KANYAMIBWA Rwanda.pdf
