Available at http://rpi-project.org/2019/assessments2019.php Introduction to North American Raptor Conservation Species Assessments We provide species assessments based on trend analyses through 2019 from 76 raptor migration count sites across North America spanning from Canada to Panama. Synthesis of trends at the continental and regional scales can highlight species and/or regions that warrant a closer look in the case of widespread declines or highlight conservation successes in the case of widespread increases. It is important to note that the intent of long-term monitoring efforts like RPI is to identify changes overtime, not necessarily to explain them—that is where focused research efforts come into play. RPI shines a light on species and places in need of closer looks and focused efforts. In these assessments, we provide a summary of the continental and regional migration count trends for each species and highlight species of concern. For complete and/or long-distance migrants such as Osprey, Broad-winged Hawk, Swainson’s Hawk, and Mississippi Kite, where essentially the entire population migrates out of its breeding range to a separate wintering range, the migration count trends provide a reliable assessment of actual population trends. For partial and short-distance migrants such as the Red-tailed Hawk, there is evidence that some species may be shifting their migratory behavior and/or wintering ranges in response to climate change and other factors (Bolgiano, 2013; Paprocki, et al, 2017).

  • Estimations Relative to Birds of Prey in Captivity in the United States of America
    ESTIMATIONS RELATIVE TO BIRDS OF PREY IN CAPTIVITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Roger Thacker Department of Animal Laboratories The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210 Introduction. Counts relating to birds of prey in captivity have been accomplished in some European countries; how- ever, to the knowledge of this author no such information is available in the United States of America. The following paper consistsof data related to this subject collected during 1969-1970 from surveys carried out in many different direc- tions within this country. Methods. In an attempt to obtain as clear a picture as pos- sible, counts were divided into specific areas: Research, Zoo- logical, Falconry, and Pet Holders. It became obvious as the project advanced that in some casesthere was overlap from one area to another; an example of this being a falconer working with a bird both for falconry and research purposes. In some instances such as this, the author has used his own judgment in placing birds in specific categories; in other in- stances received information has been used for this purpose. It has also become clear during this project that a count of "pets" is very difficult to obtain. Lack of interest, non-coop- eration, or no available information from animal sales firms makes the task very difficult, as unfortunately, to obtain a clear dispersal picture it is from such sourcesthat informa- tion must be gleaned. However, data related to the importa- tion of birds' of prey as recorded by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife is included, and it is felt some observa- tions can be made from these figures.

  • The Conservation Status of Raptors in Chile
    Birds of Prey Bull. No. 3 (1986) The Conservation Status of Raptors in Chile Fabian M. Jaksic&Jaime E. Jimenez INTRODUCTION Information about raptors in Chile is found primarily in general works on the taxonomy, distribution and biology of Chilean birds or as part of studies (mainly systematic) that include Chilean specimens. Miscellaneous notes on the biology of selected raptor species usually provide some information on their food and habitat preferences and a few accounts for particular localities mention the presence, breeding and comparative abundance of raptors. Information on their habitat requirements is scarce and primarily qualitative. No doubt the best quantitative information comes from studies of their diet, which concentrate on central Chile. A few other dietary studies deal with raptor populations in the southern parts of the country. In short, the conservation status of Chilean raptors has scarcely been addressed, except for the necessarily brief treatment provided by Fottmann and Benoit (1983). In the following pages we present and discuss current knowledge pertaining to raptor conservation in Chile. METHODS We have reviewed all the published accounts which contain information on the status of raptors in Chile, augmented by verbal communications from competent wildlife biologists and our personal observations. For the purpose of our analysis, we have divided Chile into four regions, which roughly correspond with recognized vegetational and climatic units. Region 1: Northern Chile, from Arica to Copiapo; mainly warm desert areas, including oases and puna. Region 2: Central Chile, from Copiapo to Concepcion; mainly warm shrubland areas. Region 3: Southern Chile, from Ooncepcion to Quellon in Chiloe Island; mainly temperate forest areas.

ARTICLE June 2018 Breeding biology of Neotropical Accipitriformes: current knowledge and research priorities Julio Amaro Betto Monsalvo1,3, Neander Marcel Heming2 & Miguel Ângelo Marini2 1 Programa de Pós-graduação em Ecologia, IB, Universidade de Brasília, Brasília, DF, Brazil. 2 Departamento de Zoologia, IB, Universidade de Brasília, Brasília, DF, Brazil. 3 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 08 March 2018. Accepted on 20 July 2018. ABSTRACT: Despite the key role that knowledge on breeding biology of Accipitriformes plays in their management and conservation, survey of the state-of-the-art and of information gaps spanning the entire Neotropics has not been done since 1995. We provide an updated classification of current knowledge about breeding biology of Neotropical Accipitridae and define the taxa that should be prioritized by future studies. We analyzed 440 publications produced since 1995 that reported breeding of 56 species. There is a persistent scarcity, or complete absence, of information about the nests of eight species, and about breeding behavior of another ten. Among these species, the largest gap of breeding data refers to the former “Leucopternis” hawks. Although 66% of the 56 evaluated species had some improvement on knowledge about their breeding traits, research still focus disproportionately on a few regions and species, and the scarcity of breeding data on many South American Accipitridae persists. We noted that analysis of records from both a citizen science digital database and museum egg collections significantly increased breeding information on some species, relative to recent literature. We created four groups of priority species for breeding biology studies, based on knowledge gaps and threat categories at global level.

Their most commonflight modewas soaringin thermalsand wind updrafts,rarely usingflapping flight, and never hovering.Harris' Hawks appearedto selectphysiographic features that favoredthe presenceof updrafts, particularlynorth- and west-facing slopes and ridgetops, but werealso commonly seen flying over ravines (wherethey perched frequently). Prey were primarily small- and medium-sized mammals, and secondarily medium-sizedbirds. Although not aggressive,Harris' Hawks were nonethelessattacked by two other sympatricraptors, Black-chested Eagles (Geranoaetus melanoleucus) and Red-backedHawks (Buteopo- lyosoma).These three species,which were studiedover the sameperiod and with the sametechniques, were similar in activityand behavior,although Harris' Hawks were slightlymore differentthan the latter were between themselves.

INTRODUCTION Not everyone is fortunate enough to visit Peru; a marvelous country that boasts a huge country bird list, which is second only to Colombia. Unlike our usual set departure, we started out with a daylong extension to Lomas de Lachay first, before starting out on the usual itinerary for the main tour. On this extra day we managed to 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report PERU: Manu and Machu Picchu Aug-Sept. 2015 find many extra birds like Peruvian Thick-knee, Least Seedsnipe, Peruvian Sheartail, Raimondi’s Yellow- Finch and the localized Cactus Canastero. The first site of the main tour was Huacarpay Lake, near the beautiful Andean city of Cusco (accessed after a short flight from Lima). This gave us a few endemic species like Bearded Mountaineer and Rusty-fronted Canastero; along with other less local species like Many-colored Rush-tyrant, Plumbeous Rail, Puna Teal, Andean Negrito and Puna Ibis. The following day we birded along the road towards Manu where we picked up birds like Peruvian Sierra-Finch, Chestnut-breasted Mountain-Finch, Spot-winged Pigeon, and a beautiful Peruvian endemic in the form of Creamy-crested Spinetail. We also saw Yungas Pygmy-Owl, Black-faced Ibis, Hooded and Scarlet-bellied Mountain- Tanagers, Red-crested Cotinga and the gorgeous Grass-green Tanager.

  • Phylogeny, Historical Biogeography and the Evolution of Migration in Accipitrid Birds of Prey (Aves: Accipitriformes)
    Ornis Hungarica 2014. 22(1): 15–35. DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2014-0008 Phylogeny, historical biogeography and the evolution of migration in accipitrid birds of prey (Aves: Accipitriformes) Jenő nagy1 & Jácint tökölyi2* Jenő Nagy & Jácint Tökölyi 2014. Phylogeny, historical biogeography and the evolution of mig ration in accipitrid birds of prey (Aves: Accipitriformes). – Ornis Hungarica 22(1): 15–35. Abstract Migration plays a fundamental part in the life of most temperate bird species. The re­ gu lar, large­scale seasonal movements that characterize temperate migration systems appear to have originated in parallel with the postglacial northern expansion of tropical species. Migratoriness is also in- fluenced by a number of ecological factors, such as the ability to survive harsh winters. Hence, understanding the origins and evolution of migration requires integration of the biogeographic history and ecology of birds in a phylogenetic context. We used molecular dating and ancestral state reconstruction to infer the origins and evolu- tionary changes in migratory behavior and ancestral area reconstruction to investigate historical patterns of range evolution in accipitrid birds of prey (Accipitriformes). Migration evolved multiple times in birds of prey, the ear- liest of which occurred in true hawks (Accipitrinae), during the middle Miocene period, according to our analy- ses. In most cases, a tropical ancestral distribution was inferred for the non­migratory ancestors of migratory line- ages. Results from directional evolutionary tests indicate that migration evolved in the tropics and then increased the rate of colonization of temperate habitats, suggesting that temperate species might be descendants of tropi- cal ones that dispersed into these seasonal habitats.

    Tropical Birding Trip Report Colombia, February-March 2016 Colombia February 25th to March 10th, 2016 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos by Nick Athanas White-whiskered Spinetail – bird of the trip! It had been a while since I had guided a Colombia trip, and I had forgotten how neat the birds were! This two week customized tour combined a Northern Colombia trip with some of the best sites in Central Colombia. The weather was beautiful, the birds were spectacular and cooperative, and most importantly we had a fun and friendly group; we all had a blast. Custom trips are a great option for groups of friends that like to travel together, and it really worked well this time. I really love that White-whiskered Spinetail was voted “bird of the trip” – it’s the only time I can remember a spinetail winning that honor – it’s an often unappreciated group, but this one is really special and we had point-blank views. Runner up was Santa Marta Antbird, which was also highly deserving as one of the newest splits of a truly www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Colombia, February-March 2016 amazing genus. Other favorites were Golden-winged Sparrow, Russet-throated Puffbird, Scarlet Ibis, Turquoise Dacnis, Blue-billed Curassow, Red-bellied Grackle, Sword-billed Hummer, Crested Owl, Chestnut Piculet, Striped Manakin, and shockingly, even a couple of tapaculos, which impressed some by showing amazingly well. We started off in the “megapolis” of Bogotá, which served as our base for the first few nights as we made day trips to nearby sites in the eastern cordillera of the Andes.

Between 2006 and 2017, a total of 15 specimens of the Variable hawk, Geranoaetus polyosoma (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) were collected, 14 of them from different localities in the Biobío region and one specimen from the Valparaíso region. An external examination of the plumage was made to collect ectoparasites, and necropsies were performed, focusing primarily on the gastrointestinal tract. Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) were found on five (33.3%) of the birds corresponding to three species: 97 specimens of Degeeriella fulva (Giebel, 1874), six specimens of Colpocephalum turbinatum Denny, 1842 and nine belonging to an unidentified species of the genusCraspedorrhynchus Kéler, 1938. Endoparasites found in three (20%) of the birds included round worms (Nematoda) of the genus Procyrnea Chabaud, 1958, and spiny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) of the genus Centrorhynchus Lühe, 1911.

Changes from usual treatment include rec- species and approximately 10 genera of chiefly ognition ofthe genus Asturina, merger ofthe genus Neotropical hawks called sub-buteonines and al- Heterospizias with Buteogallus, and transfer ofthe lied to the more advanced genus Buteo. Generic genus Geranospiza to the sub-buteonines. Finally, diagnoses supported by logarithmic ratio diagrams the broad systematics of the chief components of of measurements are presented along with com- the family Accipitridae and the place of the sub- ments on intraspecific variation in a few of the buteonine group within it are discussed. INTRODUCTION The term "sub-buteonines" is here used Eight of the 10 sub-buteonine genera here for a group ofhawks and eagles closely allied recognized are Neotropical. Three of the to the large and nearly cosmopolitan genus species in as many genera, cross the United Buteo. As noted later, certain other genera or States border. Two of them, Asturina nitida groups ofgenera may be regarded as sub-bu- and Buteogallus anthracinus, have distribu- teonines in a more general sense, but they are tions that are primarily tropical and subtrop- less closely allied to Buteo and beyond the ical. The third, Parabuteo unicinctus, extends main scope ofthe present paper. As the name a little farther north to Kansas and farther implies and as defined below the sub-bu- south to central Chile.
