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.

SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan)
Temminck’s Tragopan (all photos by Dave Farrow unless indicated otherwise) SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan) 16/19 MAY – 7 JUNE 2018 LEADER: DAVE FARROW The Birdquest tour to Sichuan this year was a great success, with a slightly altered itinerary to usual due to the closure of Jiuzhaigou, and we enjoyed a very smooth and enjoyable trip around the spectacular and endemic-rich mountain and plateau landscapes of this striking province. Gamebirds featured strongly with 14 species seen, the highlights of them including a male Temminck’s Tragopan grazing in the gloom, Chinese Monal trotting across high pastures, White Eared and Blue Eared Pheasants, Lady Amherst’s and Golden Pheasants, Chinese Grouse and Tibetan Partridge. Next were the Parrotbills, with Three-toed, Great and Golden, Grey-hooded and Fulvous charming us, Laughingthrushes included Red-winged, Buffy, Barred, Snowy-cheeked and Plain, we saw more Leaf Warblers than we knew what to do with, and marvelled at the gorgeous colours of Sharpe’s, Pink-rumped, Vinaceous, Three-banded and Red-fronted Rosefinches, the exciting Przevalski’s Finch, the red pulse of Firethroats plus the unreal blue of Grandala. Our bird of the trip? Well, there was that Red Panda that we watched for ages! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Sichuan Including Northern Yunnan 2018 www.birdquest-tours.com Our tour began with a short extension in Yunnan, based in Lijiang city, with the purpose of finding some of the local specialities including the rare White-speckled Laughingthrush, which survives here in small numbers. Once our small group had arrived in the bustling city of Lijiang we began our birding in an area of hills that had clearly been totally cleared of forest in the fairly recent past, with a few trees standing above the hillsides of scrub. -
Viruses in Migratory Birds, China, 2013–2014
Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid2206.151754 Novel Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Viruses in Migratory Birds, China, 2013–2014 Technical Appendix Materials and Methods Wild Bird Surveillance and Sampling Wild birds were captured and sampled with the permission and supervision of Shanghai Wild Life Conservation and Management Office. Swabs (1 oropharyngeal and 1 cloacal of each bird) were taken and transported in viral transport medium to the laboratory at 4°C for downstream molecular diagnosis within 6 hours. Virus Detection Viral RNA was extracted from viral transport medium by using MagMAXTM Pathogen RNA/DNA Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) on a Magmax-96 Express (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real time reverse transcription-PCR was performed with matrix gene–specific probed primers to detect the presence of avian influenza viruses according to the protocol of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (1). The results were further confirmed by sequencing the PCR products. Subtype Identification and Gene Sequencing RNA of viral-positive samples were reverse-transcribed by PrimeScript II Reverse Transcriptase Kit (TaKaRa, Biotechnology [Dalian] Co., Ltd, Dalian, China) according to the kit protocol. PCR amplifications were performed for subtyping of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase, and gene segments were amplified by using the previously published primers (2– Page 1 of 5 4) and primers designed in this study (on request). PCR products were gel-purified by using the QIAquick gel extraction kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA) and were sequenced with the BigDye terminator kit (Applied Biosystems) on an ABI 3730 (Applied Biosystems). -

Status and Seasonal Occurrence of Birds in Dhaka University Campus
Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 25(1): 27‐37, 2016 (January) STATUS AND SEASONAL OCCURRENCE OF BIRDS IN DHAKA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS MST. FARHANA ARZUMAN BANU, MUNTASIR AKASH, GAWSIA WAHIDUNNESSA CHOWDHURY* AND MD. ANWAR HOSSAIN Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Key words: Birds, Status, Seasonal occurrence Abstract A study was conducted on the status and seasonal occurrence of the birds in Dhaka University campus, from July, 2013 to February, 2014. During the study period, 54 species of birds belonging to 10 orders, 27 families and 47 genera were recorded. Of the recorded species of birds, 10 (19%) species were found as migrants and 44 (81%) as residents. Out of total species, 14 (26%) were identified as very common, 7 (13%) common, 10 (19%) uncommon, and 23 (43%) as rare. Of the resident species, 14 (25%) were very common residents, 26 (48%) common residents, 3 (6%) uncommon residents, 1 (2%) was rare resident and of the migrants, 7 (13%) were common winter visitors and 3 (6%) were found as uncommon winter visitors. From the study site, 28 (52%) species of passerine birds were observed and remaining 26 (48%) were non‐passerines. The highest number of birds was recorded in dry period/winter season (November ‐ February) and the lowest in wet period/monsoon (July ‐ October). Introduction Bird is a group of warm‐blooded, egg‐laying vertebrates of the class Aves having its body covered with feathers and forelimbs modified into wings(1,2). They have relatively large brain, keen sight and acute hearing, but little sense of smell. They share a common ancestry with reptiles and are believed to be evolved on the earth more than 150 million years ago(2‐4). -

During extreme excitement the male will often roll his head on his back, or even bathe. I have not observed Preening-behind-the- wing, but W. von de Wall (pers. comm.) has observed a male per- form it toward a female. Finally, Wing-flapping appears to be used as a display by males, and it is especially conspicuous because each sequence of it is ended by a rapid stretching of both wings over the back in a posture that makes visible the white axillary feathers, which contrast sharply with the black underwing surface. Copulatory behavior. Precopulatory behavior consists of the male swimming up to the female, his neck stretched and his crest de- pressed, and making occasional Bill-dipping movements. He then suddenly begins to perform more vigorous Head-dipping movements, and the female, if receptive, performs similar Bill-dipping or Head- dipping movements. -

OBC Yunnan, China, 6-28 Nov 2010
Yunnan, China, with OBC: Nov 2010. An at-a-glance list of 387 species of birds & seven species of mammals recorded. By Jesper Hornskov ® ***this draft 30 Aug 2012*** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Please note that the following list is best considered a work in progress. It should not be quoted without consulting the author. Based mostly on my own field notes, this brief write-up covers the birds & mammals noted by G Bowen, P Duffus, R Robinson, T Townshend & myself in Yunnan over 7-27 November 2010. We recorded 387 species. An additional 45 (including some Palearctic Megas) were logged on pre- & post-trip excursions near Beijing on 6th & 29th – for want of what else to do with them, and to make it easier for future travellers to decide if it might be worth their while to extend their visit by a day or two, these are included in the list. Around Beijing the weather was as expected fine both before and after the trip - unfortunately a flight delay caused PD to miss the highly rewarding excursion to Wild Duck Lake on 6th (but GB & I were happy to welcome M Moeller on board for the day), and regrettably neither GB, RR nor TT were able to stay on for an extra day so on 29th it was only PD & myself who made the most of a fine, on-the-threshold-of-winter day at Botanical Gardens. In Yunnan the weather lived up to expectations with no more than 15 minutes of rain in three weeks. We 'did' our main target area, mostly forested habitats at c300-2,500 masl W of the Salween, under mostly magnificently blue skies before bagging the hoped-for Rufous-tailed Moupinia Moupinia poecilotis & Yunnan Nuthatch Sitta yunnanensis without breaking into a run at Lijiang. -

Version 3.4 Mar 2017 For taxa that have unproven and probably unlikely presence, see the Hypothetical List. Red font indicates either added information since the previous version or that further documentation is sought. Not all synonyms have been examined. Serial numbers (SN) are merely an administrative conveninence and may change. Please do not cite them as row numbers in any formal correspondence or papers. Key: Compass cardinals (eg N = north, SE = southeast) are used. Rows shaded thus and with yellow text denote summaries of problem taxon groups in which some closely-related taxa may be of indeterminate status or are being studied. Rows shaded thus and with white text contain additional explanatory information on problem taxon groups as and when necessary. A broad dark orange line, as below, indicates the last taxon in a new or suggested species split, or where sspp are best considered separately. The Passerine Reference List (including References for Hypothetical passerines [see Part E] and explanations of Abbreviated References) follows at Part D. Notes↓ & Status abbreviations→ BM=Breeding Migrant, SB/SV=Summer Breeder/Visitor, PM=Passage Migrant, WV=Winter Visitor, RB=Resident Breeder 1. PT=Parent Taxon (used because many records will antedate splits, especially from recent research) – we use the concept of PT with a degree of latitude, roughly equivalent to the formal term sensu lato , ‘in the broad sense’. 2. The term 'report' or ‘reported’ indicates the occurrence is unconfirmed.
