For the first time in 51 conventions, we ven- tured to Cortez in Montezuma County, in the corner of the state most distant from the metropolitan Front Range, where most of our members live. Nevertheless, many of you were willing to make the eight-hour trip for the great birds and fabulous scenery of the Four Corners region. In fact, over one third of the CFO membership at- tended this year’s convention. The reward was a lively weekend full of excellent birding as well as renewed connections among CFO members. Once again we opened the convention with a Thursday evening welcome picnic hosted by the CFO. Last year in Trinidad, we experimented with a welcome event and it proved wildly successful. It allows attendees to register and make initial contact with each other. Did the new convention name tags help? I have to confess that the welcome picnic also allows those of us on the board to discharge many of the responsibilities that we have in getting you organized for the next three days of activities. Saturday featured the convention’s paper presentations—I’d like to thank Nat Warning, Steve Jones, George San Miguel, and Rick Harness for their efforts. Later that evening we ventured off to the lo- cal Elks club for our banquet, where Steve Jones was honored as this year’s recipient of the CFO’s Ron Ryder Award (see page 167). Then John Vanderpoel presented a lively and enjoyable recounting (or was it a recanting?) of his 2011 Big Year with his program “Full Chase Mode.” In- cluded were pictures of John in a previously un- seen plumage. But, of course, birds are the main pursuit of any CFO Conference, and here we made more his- tory. For what I believe is the first time, we recorded Lucy’s Warbler—that Collared Lizard, Hovenweep National Monument, highly localized breeder of Montezuma County, 19 May 2013. Photo by southwest Colorado—on Christian Nunes official CFO convention 156 Colorado Birds July 2013 Vol. 47 No. 3 field trips. By my count, more than 60 attendees were able to see some of the handful of Lu- cy’s that are on territory along Yellowjacket Creek. A smaller group was even more fortunate to catch glimpses of a Painted Redstart by Bauer Lake north of Mancos. If accepted by the CBRC, this would furnish only the sixth record of the species for the state and only the third Dusky Grouse, Madden Peak Road, La Plata since 1974. At least one lucky County, 20 May 2013. Photo by Kay Niyo birder was able to add both of these warblers to her state list! The total species count for the entire conven- tion was 184 species. CFO Field Trip to NE Colorado 24-25 August 2013 The CFO is considering holding its 2014 annual convention in Sterling in the late summer or early fall of next year. Find out what late summer birding in northeast Colorado might be like on this overnight, two-day trip. Join CFO President Bill Kaempfer for an early morning departure from the Front Range to explore hot spots like Jackson State Park, Prewitt Reservoir, and North Sterling State Park on Saturday. We will stay overnight in Sterling on Saturday night, basing our op- erations at the Comfort Inn (although you could choose among a Su- per-8, Ramada, or Best Western, as all are very nearby). Sunday we will continue east to Julesburg, Ovid, Jumbo Reservoir, and other spots before a departure for home with an expected arrival at about 6:00 P.M. Expect migratory shorebirds, including chances for Buff-breasted Sand- piper and American Golden-Plover; northeast Colorado breeding and resident specialties like Upland Sandpiper, Great Crested Flycatcher, Bell’s Vireo, and Northern Cardinal; and migratory songbirds including flycatchers, vireos, warblers, and sparrows over the course of these two full days of birding. Contact Bill by email at [email protected] if you are interested in participating. Please be willing to carpool for the trip and to partici- pate in both days of birding. Colorado Birds July 2013 Vol. 47 No. 3 157 Before I sign off, I want to give a huge acknowl- edgment of appreciation for the efforts of Nathan Pieplow. Due to the time required by the field guide he is writing, Nathan has asked to step down as editor of Colorado Birds following this issue, af- ter serving in this capac- ity since 2006. While the CFO has a history of great editors, Nathan’s seven- Ancestral Puebloan ruins at Mesa Verde National year tenure has been the Park, Montezuma County, 18 May 2013.

  • Wildlife of the North Hills: Birds, Animals, Butterflies
    Wildlife of the North Hills: Birds, Animals, Butterflies Oakland, California 2005 About this Booklet The idea for this booklet grew out of a suggestion from Anne Seasons, President of the North Hills Phoenix Association, that I compile pictures of local birds in a form that could be made available to residents of the north hills. I expanded on that idea to include other local wildlife. For purposes of this booklet, the “North Hills” is defined as that area on the Berkeley/Oakland border bounded by Claremont Avenue on the north, Tunnel Road on the south, Grizzly Peak Blvd. on the east, and Domingo Avenue on the west. The species shown here are observed, heard or tracked with some regularity in this area. The lists are not a complete record of species found: more than 50 additional bird species have been observed here, smaller rodents were included without visual verification, and the compiler lacks the training to identify reptiles, bats or additional butterflies. We would like to include additional species: advice from local experts is welcome and will speed the process. A few of the species listed fall into the category of pests; but most - whether resident or visitor - are desirable additions to the neighborhood. We hope you will enjoy using this booklet to identify the wildlife you see around you.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

    Poster Session 2 17:20 - 18:20 Thursday, 24th June, 2021 Tracks Poster Session 9 Understanding the internal structure of amyloid superstructures with polarization analysis of two-photon excited fluorescence Maciej Lipok, Patryk Obstarczyk, Manuela Grelich-Mucha, Joanna Olesiak-Bańska Advanced Materials Engineering and Modelling Group, Wrocław University of Science and Technology Abstract Text The goal of our study is to develop label-free method for measuring the organization of amyloid fibrils based on their polarization-resolved two-photon excited autofluorescence. For our purpose, we have modified the model used for measuring fibril organization from polarization resolved one-photon fluorescence microscopy and applied it to successfully determine the internal structural organization of fibrils inside insulin spherulites. Amyloids are ordered protein aggregates and a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. Understanding the origin and course of amyloidogenesis is a key issue for creation of effective curative methods. A plethora of information about this process could be gathered from studying the organization of amyloid structures in different conditions.[1] In previous years, it was shown that ordering of amyloids stained with Thioflavin T could be efficiently determined using polarization-resolved fluorescence microscopy. [2] However, a label influences the aggregation process [3] and the data obtained from stained structures may differ from the naturally occurring label-free ones. Moreover, correct determination of fibril ordering in densely packed superstructures like amyloid plaques needs high precision which could hardly be achieved using standard fluorescence microscopes. Our method is overcoming this drawbacks, allowing to determine the local ordering of label-free amyloid fibrils in spherulites, amyloid superstructures, using their intrinsic polarization-resolved two-photon excited autofluorescence.

  • Food Abundance and Habitat Use of Varied Thrushes
    FOOD ABUNDANCE AND HABITAT USE OF VARIED THRUSHES NEAR REDWOOD FOREST EDGES By Gregory G. Brown A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Science In Natural Resources: Wildlife October, 2007 ABSTRACT Food abundance and habitat use of Varied Thrushes near redwood forest edges Gregory G. Brown Previous research suggests that Varied Thrushes (Ixoreus naevius) in redwood forests (Sequoia sempervirens) are sensitive to forest edges and are unlikely to breed in small forest fragments. Food abundance is likely to vary at the forest edge, and has been linked to habitat use and edge avoidance in some other forest-interior passerines, particularly other ground foraging insectivores. To determine the degree to which Varied Thrushes avoid forest edges, and how this might be influenced by food abundance, I monitored third-order habitat selection of individual birds using radio telemetry, and sampled relative abundance of ground-dwelling invertebrates with pitfall traps across edge gradients in redwood forests of north coastal California. In addition, I measured vegetation structure and other habitat variables that may vary near forest edges and influence Varied Thrush habitat use either directly or through effects on invertebrate distribution. I predicted that Varied Thrush habitat use would be associated with invertebrate abundance, with both decreasing in proximity to forest edges, and increasing in proximity to streams. Of the 10 Varied Thrushes monitored, only two used locations significantly farther from the edge than expected, and overall there was no clear pattern of edge avoidance or preference for streams in the birds studied.

  • 21 Sep 2018 Lists of Victims and Hosts of the Parasitic
    version: 21 Sep 2018 Lists of victims and hosts of the parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus). Peter E. Lowther, Field Museum Brood parasitism is an awkward term to describe an interaction between two species in which, as in predator-prey relationships, one species gains at the expense of the other. Brood parasites "prey" upon parental care. Victimized species usually have reduced breeding success, partly because of the additional cost of caring for alien eggs and young, and partly because of the behavior of brood parasites (both adults and young) which may directly and adversely affect the survival of the victim's own eggs or young. About 1% of all bird species, among 7 families, are brood parasites. The 5 species of brood parasitic “cowbirds” are currently all treated as members of the genus Molothrus. Host selection is an active process. Not all species co-occurring with brood parasites are equally likely to be selected nor are they of equal quality as hosts. Rather, to varying degrees, brood parasites are specialized for certain categories of hosts. Brood parasites may rely on a single host species to rear their young or may distribute their eggs among many species, seemingly without regard to any characteristics of potential hosts. Lists of species are not the best means to describe interactions between a brood parasitic species and its hosts. Such lists do not necessarily reflect the taxonomy used by the brood parasites themselves nor do they accurately reflect the complex interactions within bird communities (see Ortega 1998: 183-184). Host lists do, however, offer some insight into the process of host selection and do emphasize the wide variety of features than can impact on host selection.

    BIRD LIST OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MASSACUSETTS 1931-2019 This list is a revised version of Robert C. Bradbury’s Bird List of Worcester County, Massachusetts (1992) . It contains bird species recorded in Worcester County since the Forbush Bird Club began publishing The Chickadee in 1931. Included in Appendix A, and indicated in bold face on the Master List are bird Species which have been accepted by the Editorial Committee of The Chickadee, and have occurred 10 times or fewer overall, or have appeared fewer than 5 times in the last 20 years in Worcester County. The Editorial Committee has established the following qualifying criteria for any records to be considered of any record not accepted on the Master List: 1) a recognizable specimen 2) a recognizable photograph or video 3) a sight record corroborated by 3 experienced observers In addition, any Review Species with at least one accepted record must pass review of the Editorial Committee of the Chicka dee. Any problematic records which pass review by the Chickadee Editorial Committee, but not meeting the three first record rules above, will be carried into the accepted records of the given species. Included in Appendix B are records considered problematic. Problematic species either do not meet at least one of the qualifying criteria listed above, are considered likely escaped captive birds, have arrived in Worcester County by other than self-powered means, or are species not yet recognized as a count able species by the Editorial Committee of The Chickadee .
