  • Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area
    Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area Jeremy Beaulieu Lisa Andreano Michael Walgren Introduction The following is a guide to the common birds of the Estero Bay Area. Brief descriptions are provided as well as active months and status listings. Photos are primarily courtesy of Greg Smith. Species are arranged by family according to the Sibley Guide to Birds (2000). Gaviidae Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: A small loon seldom seen far from salt water. In the non-breeding season they have a grey face and red throat. They have a long slender dark bill and white speckling on their dark back. Information: These birds are winter residents to the Central Coast. Wintering Red- throated Loons can gather in large numbers in Morro Bay if food is abundant. They are common on salt water of all depths but frequently forage in shallow bays and estuaries rather than far out at sea. Because their legs are located so far back, loons have difficulty walking on land and are rarely found far from water. Most loons must paddle furiously across the surface of the water before becoming airborne, but these small loons can practically spring directly into the air from land, a useful ability on its artic tundra breeding grounds. Pacific Loon Gavia pacifica Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: The Pacific Loon has a shorter neck than the Red-throated Loon. The bill is very straight and the head is very smoothly rounded.

  • Evaluating and Treating the Kidneys

SCOTT ECHOLS, DVM, D ipl ABVP-A vian Renal diseases and their various classifications are well documented in the avian literature. The precise patho- genesis of avian renal disease, however, is not nearly as well described as it is in mammals. Renal disease has been shown to be fairly common in avian species. In studied poultry, as much as 29.6% of all disease condi- tions had abnormal pathology associated with or attrib- utable to renal disorders.20,214,251 Amyloidosis, urate nephrosis and gout were the most common diseases associated with mortality in a 4-year retrospective study conducted at a waterfowl park in Ontario, Canada.210 Thirty-seven percent of all avian cases presenting with renal tissue for histopathological examination, included over a 15-month period at the Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center, had one or more histologically identified kidney lesions.187 Nine of 75 pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) died with nephritis, one or both ureters impacted, and visceral gout in another comprehensive study on avian mortality.186 These case reports and retro- spective studies support the conclusion that renal dis- eases are relatively common and are clinically significant in multiple avian species. When compared to mammalian counterparts, the avian urogenital system has many structural and functional differences, which have been described previously.77,90,118,181,187,227 Differences including gross anatomy, renal portal blood flow and protein waste elimination should be considered when reviewing this chapter, as findings obtained from mammalian studies may not necessarily be applicable to birds.

  • Experimental Infections of Wild Birds with West Nile Virus

Received: 2 December 2013; in revised form: 4 February 2014 / Accepted: 4 February 2014 / Published: 13 February 2014 Abstract: Avian models of West Nile virus (WNV) disease have become pivotal in the study of infection pathogenesis and transmission, despite the intrinsic constraints that represents this type of experimental research that needs to be conducted in biosecurity level 3 (BSL3) facilities. This review summarizes the main achievements of WNV experimental research carried out in wild birds, highlighting advantages and limitations of this model. Viral and host factors that determine the infection outcome are analyzed in detail, as well as recent discoveries about avian immunity, viral transmission, and persistence achieved through experimental research. Studies of laboratory infections in the natural host will help to understand variations in susceptibility and reservoir competence among bird species, as well as in the epidemiological patterns found in different affected areas. Keywords: West Nile virus; wild birds; experimental infection; pathogenesis; transmission; immunity; host competence 1. Introduction West Nile virus (WNV, Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) is an emerging zoonotic arbovirus (arthropod- borne virus) widely distributed throughout the world and with considerable impact both on public health and on animal health [1].

  • Wild Game Bird Capture, Mark, and Release Methods
    SOP Number: SOP028 Title: Wild Game Bird Capture, Mark, and Release Methods Revision No: Replaces: Date in effect: Page: 04 03 9/19/2018 1 of 6 Author: Dr. Mark Wallace Responsible faculty: Revisions: Blake Grisham (Signature/Date) Brad Dabbert Ron Kendall 9/19/2018 Kerry Griffis-Kyle Phil Smith Clint Boal The following protocols will be used when capturing any species or subspecies of wild game birds in the order Galliformes (turkeys, pheasant, or quail). We provide specific protocols for wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and scaled quail (Callipepla squamata), and lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) which should serve as guidelines for most other Galliformes though special additional considerations may be required for some Threatened and Endangered species. For any animal that is to be released to the wild, the prime consideration shall be that the procedure will have minimal effect on the animal’s subsequent survival and reproductive potential. All protocols described here are current accepted practices established under the American Ornithologists Union Ad Hoc Committee on the Use of Wild Birds in Research Guidelines (1988) (AOU Guidelines) or recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association Panel on Euthanasia (AVMA 2013). 1) Capture a. Capture with walk-in traps – Gallinaceous birds can be live-trapped at baited sites in box or cage traps (Baldwin 1947). i. Wild Turkeys – Turkeys will be passively captured in walk-in traps. Live traps used for capturing wild turkey are a funnel type trap (approx. 6’ wide x 8’ long x 4’ tall) constructed with livestock fence panels placed around the bait-site (Davis 1994).

Proceedings Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference: No.9. Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference. 9. Tall Timbers Research Station, Tallahassee, FL. Fire and Animal Behavior E. V. KOMAREK, SR. Tall Ti'mbers Researcb Station Tallabassee, Florida , THE REACTIONS and relationships of animals to fire, the charcoal black burn, the straw-colored and later the green vegetation certainly attracted the attention of primitive man and his ancestors. In "Fire-and the Ecology of iV'lan" I proposed that man himself is the product of a fire environment-"pre-'man prirrtates as well as early Ulan inhabited fire environrnents and had to be 'fire­ selected' ... to live in such environments." (Komarek, 1967). Therefore, man's ultimate survival, as had been true with other ani­ mals that live in fire environments, depends upon a proper under­ standing of fire and the relationships of animals and plants to this element. 1V10dern literature, particularly in the United States, has been so saturated with the reputed dangers of forest fires to animals that he has developed a deep seated fear of all fires in nature. In this nation, the average individual is only beginning to realize the proper place of fire and fire control in forest, grassland and field. Unfortunately, much knowledge on fire and animal behavior that was common in­ formation to the American Indian, pioneers, and early farm and ranch people has been lost though in some parts of the ·world a large body of this knowledge still exists.

    Remembering Dr. Arthur Crane Risser by Josef Lindholm III, it stayed that way through the rest of the 1960’s. On Dec. 31, Senior Aviculturist, The Dallas World Aquarium 1969, it reached an all-time high of 1,126 species and subspecies of birds (and 3,465 specimens). Then it dropped. At the end of Art Risser’s death following a stroke on the day after Christ- 1970 there were 1,097 taxa. On Jan. 1, 1972, there were 917. A mas 2008, was entirely unexpected. But many of his saddened year later there were 856. And on Jan1., 1974, the number stood friends were also startled to learn he was 70. I think most of us at 772.
