Paul Robert Kollibay (born July 4, 1863 in Landsberg , Upper Silesia , † November 5, 1919 in Neisse , Upper Silesia) was a German ornithologist and lawyer.

Life

Kollibay was born the son of a district judge in Landsberg, Upper Silesia. From 1869 he attended elementary school and from 1873 to 1882 the grammar school in Neustadt in Upper Silesia. During his school days I got in touch with the son of ornithologist and medical officer Dr. Friedrich Kutter (1834–1891), which sparked his ornithological inclinations. Inspired by Kutter's extensive egg collection, Kollibay soon became an egg collector himself. During his studies in 1882 he became a member of the KDStV Winfridia Breslau in the CV . After completing his law degree in Breslau in 1885 , Kollibay became a trainee lawyer in 1886 and an assessor in 1890 . In 1891 he opened a law firm in Neisse . In 1897 he became a notary, in 1910 a counselor and in 1917 a member of the board of directors of the bar. In 1916 he was elected head of the city ​​council of Neisse.

In his spare time Kollibay studied the bird world in Silesia, about which he kept a diary from 1879. In 1901 he was one of the administrators of the Rossitten ornithological station . In 1904 he founded the Association of Silesian Ornithologists in Bad Warmbrunn with 13 other ornithologists , where he also served as the first chairman. From 1906 Kollibay became a committee member of the German Ornithological Society and a member of the British Ornithologists' Union . In 1911 he became a corresponding member of the Natural Research Society in Görlitz .

In 1906 Kollibay published his book The Birds of the Prussian Province of Silesia , in which a total of 317 species are treated, of which 202 are breeding birds. In 1909 there were additions to the ornithological yearbook and from 1915 further additions to the ornithological monthly reports by Anton Reichenow .

Kollibay described three bird taxa : the Südbüscheleule that are currently deemed to be a separate species, but as a subspecies Pisorhina leucotis granti the northern white-faced owl was first described, the Central Asian subspecies Carduelis carduelis paropanisi of Stieglitz and the subspecies Galerida cristata subtaurica the crested lark , in central Turkey, in Occurs in Transcaucasia, Turkmenistan, Iran and Iraq.
