  • BIRDS OBSERVED at SEA DURING the VOYAGE of HMS BLONDE to HAWAII [1824-1826) by Storrs L
    ROVAL NAVAL BIRDWATCHING SOCIETY (1995) • Sea Swallow 44. BIRDS OBSERVED AT SEA DURING THE VOYAGE OF HMS BLONDE TO HAWAII [1824-1826) By Storrs L. Olson. It seems appropriate to put on record here some reports of birds observed at sea aboard a vessel of the Royal Navy that have remained unpublished for almost a century and three-quarters. In 1824 the 46-gun frigate Blonde departed England on a diplomatic mission to the Hawaiian Islands, under the command of George Anson, Lord Byron, who had succeeded to that title only a few months previously, upon the death of his cousin, the renowned poet. The Blonde crossed the Atlantic to Brazil by way of Madeira, sailed round Cape Horn, stopping in Chile, Peru, and the Galapagos, before arriving in Hawaii. She returned in 1826 via Maiden Island, Mauke [in the Cook group), Chile, and St. Helena. Aboard was a youthful and largely untrained naturalist, Andrew Bloxam, who prepared specimens and kept natural history notes during the voyage. Apart from a few observations incidentally included in a volume that appeared under Byron's name [Byron 1827] that was cobbled together by a compiler from several diaries, virtually nothing was published on the natural history of the voyage until I began my studies of Bloxam's manuscript natural history notes, which are housed at the British Museum [Natural History) [Olson 1986, in press a,b). These notes contain several references to landbirds observed at sea, as well as seabirds. There are several transcriptions of Bloxam's notes. The passages that follow are from a fair copy, with additional or variant information from rougher notes inserted in brackets [ ].

  • Snowy Sheathbills and What You Really Need to Know
    Snowy Sheathbills and what you really need to know Reprinted from British Antarctic Survey Bulletin, No. 2, December 1963, p. 53-71 THE SHEATHBILL, Chionis alba (Gmelin), AT SIGNY ISLAND, SOUTH ORKNEY ISLANDS By N. V. Jones ABSTRACT. A study of the sheathbill, Chionis alba (Gmelin), was carried out at Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, between April 1961 and April 1962. The general characteristics of the species and the annual population cycle have been investigated. Breeding birds return to the island early in October, form pairs early in November, and establish territories later in November. There is a high level of fidelity to a previous year's mate and considerable nest-site tenacity. Nests are concentrated around penguin (Pygoscelis adetiae and P. antarctica) colonies, the closer association being with the latter species. Both sexes participate in nest construction, incubation and the care of the chick. Egg-laying begins in early December, but full incubation starts only when clutches, which number from one to four, are complete. The normal incubation period is 30 days. Chicks are fed largely on "krill", obtained by disturbing penguins which are feeding their own young, and the sheathbill's life cycle is suitably coincident with that of the penguins. Chicks fledge when 50 to 60 days old and at this stage they become shore feeders. Chicks and adults disperse from the island in about mid-May, and there is evidence of a rather loose northward migration in winter. No definite predators are known. A number of parasites have been recorded. THIS paper describes work done on the sheathbill at Signy Island (lat.

  • Attempting to See One Member of Each of the World's Bird Families Has
    Attempting to see one member of each of the world’s bird families has become an increasingly popular pursuit among birders. Given that we share that aim, the two of us got together and designed what we believe is the most efficient strategy to pursue this goal. Editor’s note: Generally, the scientific names for families (e.g., Vireonidae) are capital- ized, while the English names for families (e.g., vireos) are not. In this article, however, the English names of families are capitalized for ease of recognition. The ampersand (&) is used only within the name of a family (e.g., Guans, Chachalacas, & Curassows). 8 Birder’s Guide to Listing & Taxonomy | October 2016 Sam Keith Woods Ecuador Quito, [email protected] Barnes Hualien, Taiwan [email protected] here are 234 extant bird families recognized by the eBird/ Clements checklist (2015, version 2015), which is the offi- T cial taxonomy for world lists submitted to ABA’s Listing Cen- tral. The other major taxonomic authority, the IOC World Bird List (version 5.1, 2015), lists 238 families (for differences, see Appendix 1 in the expanded online edition). While these totals may appear daunting, increasing numbers of birders are managing to see them all. In reality, save for the considerable time and money required, finding a single member of each family is mostly straightforward. In general, where family totals or family names are mentioned below, we use the eBird/Clements taxonomy unless otherwise stated. Family Feuds: How do world regions compare? In descending order, the number of bird families supported by con- tinental region are: Asia (125 Clements/124 IOC), Africa (122 Clem- ents/126 IOC), Australasia (110 Clements/112 IOC), North America (103 Clements/IOC), South America (93 Clements/94 IOC), Europe (73 Clements/74 IOC ), and Antarctica (7 Clements/IOC).

  • How Birds Combat Ectoparasites
    The Open Ornithology Journal, 2010, 3, 41-71 41 Open Access How Birds Combat Ectoparasites Dale H. Clayton*,1, Jennifer A. H. Koop1, Christopher W. Harbison1,2, Brett R. Moyer1,3 and Sarah E. Bush1,4 1Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA; 2Current address: Biology Department, Siena College, Loudonville, NY, 12211, USA; 3Current address: Providence Day School, Charlotte, NC, 28270, USA; 4Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, USA Abstract: Birds are plagued by an impressive diversity of ectoparasites, ranging from feather-feeding lice, to feather- degrading bacteria. Many of these ectoparasites have severe negative effects on host fitness. It is therefore not surprising that selection on birds has favored a variety of possible adaptations for dealing with ectoparasites. The functional signifi- cance of some of these defenses has been well documented. Others have barely been studied, much less tested rigorously. In this article we review the evidence - or lack thereof - for many of the purported mechanisms birds have for dealing with ectoparasites. We concentrate on features of the plumage and its components, as well as anti-parasite behaviors. In some cases, we present original data from our own recent work. We make recommendations for future studies that could im- prove our understanding of this poorly known aspect of avian biology.
