  • 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. Collar (2014); 2.

  • Nest Predators and Prey in a Neotropical Savannah in Central Brazil

The identification of predators of birds’ nests, crucial to a better understanding of predator-prey interac- tions, remains poorly known. Here we provide evidence that birds, and especially passerines, may depredate birds’ nests in the Cerrado (Neotropical Savannah) of Central Brazil. Data was collected primarily in a Conservation Unit (Estação Ecológica de Águas Emendadas) during the breeding season, between 2003 and 2007. We report and discuss details on 14 events of nest predation, 12 of which by passerines, mostly by curl-crested jays – Cyanocorax cristatellus (Temminck, 1823). The results of our study suggest that the role of birds as nest predators in the Cerrado has been underestimated and needs to be further investigated. KEY WORDS. Cerrado; bird; passerine.

Accepted on 23 August 2016. ABSTRACT: Pantanal is the world largest inland wetland and is internationally renowned by its high species diversity, but low level of endemism. Extensive areas of the Pantanal have never been subject to adequate sampling, and we still have much to learn about the composition and distribution of the biota found in this threatened biogeographic province. In this paper we present the results of a long term inventory conducted in Pirizal region since 1999. We recorded 343 bird species, 54.8% of them documented with specimens. A significant Amazonian influence was observed in the composition of the bird community sampled. Only two threatened species were recorded: Penelope ochrogaster and Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus. Noteworthy records include Ictinia mississippiensis, Attila phoenicurus, Empidonax alnorum, Myiothlypis leucophrys, Dolichonyx oryzivorus and Catharus fuscescens. KEY-WORDS: avifauna, inventory, Neotropical, wetland. INTRODUCTION frequently exceed 40°C, hordes of mosquitoes and ticks, flooded habitats), resulted in a small number of biological Pantanal is the world largest inland wetland, covering inventories and, consequently, this wetland is full of about 160,000 km2 of southwestern Brazil, eastern collecting gaps.

  • Birds of Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, Departamento San Pedro, Paraguay and the Imminent Threats to Their Conservation
    Rev. Biodivers. Neotrop. ISSN 2027-8918 e-ISSN 2256-5426 Enero-Julio 2016; 6 (1): 55-67 55 DOI: 10.18636/bioneotropical.v6i1.173 Birds of Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay and the imminent threats to their conservation Las aves de la Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay y las amenazas inminentes para su conservación Paul Smith1,2, Hugo del Castillo1,3, Kevin Guest2 Abstract Objective: The results of several years of inventory work at Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay are presented. Results: A total of 301 species are recorded from the reserve, with an additional 18 species known to occur in the catchment area, already declared an Important Bird Area. Thirty four species are reported for the first time in the reserve.Conclusions: The presence of breeding populations of a number of threatened Cerrado birds makes the long term conservation of this site a priority for conservation in Paraguay. However the protected status of the reserve officially ended in January 2015 and the imminent threats that this vitally important bird area faces are detailed. Keywords: Cerrado, Eleothreptus candicans, IBA, Inventory, Grasslands. Resumen Objetivo: Se presentan los resultados de varios años de trabajos de inventario en la Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, departamento San Pedro, Paraguay. Resultados: Un total de 301 especies de aves han sido registradas en la reserva, han sido comprobadas 18 más en la zona de amortiguamiento (oficialmente declarado un AICA). Treinta y cuatro especies se reportan por primera vez en la zona. Conclusiones: La presencia de poblaciones reproductivas de aves amenazadas del Cerrado indica que la conservación a largo plazo de esta reserva debe ser una prioridad para la conservación en Paraguay.

  • Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
    The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya.

  • Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016 SOUTHEAST BRAZIL: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna October 20th – November 8th, 2016 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report and photos by Nick Athanas Helmeted Woodpecker - one of our most memorable sightings of the tour It had been a couple of years since I last guided this tour, and I had forgotten how much fun it could be. We covered a lot of ground and visited a great series of parks, lodges, and reserves, racking up a respectable group list of 459 bird species seen as well as some nice mammals. There was a lot of rain in the area, but we had to consider ourselves fortunate that the rainiest days seemed to coincide with our long travel days, so it really didn’t cost us too much in the way of birds. My personal trip favorite sighting was our amazing and prolonged encounter with a rare Helmeted Woodpecker! Others of note included extreme close-ups of Spot-winged Wood-Quail, a surprise Sungrebe, multiple White-necked Hawks, Long-trained Nightjar, 31 species of antbirds, scope views of Variegated Antpitta, a point-blank Spotted Bamboowren, tons of colorful hummers and tanagers, TWO Maned Wolves at the same time, and Giant Anteater. This report is a bit light on text and a bit heavy of photos, mainly due to my insane schedule lately where I have hardly had any time at home, but all photos are from the tour. www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Tropical Birding Trip Report Southeast Brazil: Atlantic Rainforest and Savanna, Oct-Nov 2016 The trip started in the city of Curitiba.
