  • Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List
    Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List The target species list (species to be surveyed) should not change over the course of the study, therefore determining the target species list is an important project design task. Because waterbirds, including shorebirds, can occur in very high numbers in a census area, it is often not possible to count all species without compromising the quality of the survey data. For the basic shorebird census program (protocol 1), we recommend counting all shorebirds (sub-Order Charadrii), all raptors (hawks, falcons, owls, etc.), Common Ravens, and American Crows. This list of species is available on our field data forms, which can be downloaded from this site, and as a drop-down list on our online data entry form. If a very rare species occurs on a shorebird area survey, the species will need to be submitted with good documentation as a narrative note with the survey data. Project goals that could preclude counting all species include surveys designed to search for color-marked birds or post- breeding season counts of age-classed bird to obtain age ratios for a species. When conducting a census, you should identify as many of the shorebirds as possible to species; sometimes, however, this is not possible. For example, dowitchers often cannot be separated under censuses conditions, and at a distance or under poor lighting, it may not be possible to distinguish some species such as small Calidris sandpipers. We have provided codes for species combinations that commonly are reported on censuses. Combined codes are still species-specific and you should use the code that provides as much information as possible about the potential species combination you designate.

  • Purple Sandpiper
    Maine 2015 Wildlife Action Plan Revision Report Date: January 13, 2016 Calidris maritima (Purple Sandpiper) Priority 1 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) Class: Aves (Birds) Order: Charadriiformes (Plovers, Sandpipers, And Allies) Family: Scolopacidae (Curlews, Dowitchers, Godwits, Knots, Phalaropes, Sandpipers, Snipe, Yellowlegs, And Woodcock) General comments: Recent surveys suggest population undergoing steep population decline within 10 years. IFW surveys conducted in 2014 suggest population declined by 49% since 2004 (IFW unpublished data). Maine has high responsibility for wintering population, regional surveys suggest Maine may support over 1/3 of the Western Atlantic wintering population. USFWS Region 5 and Canadian Maritimes winter at least 90% of the Western Atlantic population. Species Conservation Range Maps for Purple Sandpiper: Town Map: Calidris maritima_Towns.pdf Subwatershed Map: Calidris maritima_HUC12.pdf SGCN Priority Ranking - Designation Criteria: Risk of Extirpation: NA State Special Concern or NMFS Species of Concern: NA Recent Significant Declines: Purple Sandpiper is currently undergoing steep population declines, which has already led to, or if unchecked is likely to lead to, local extinction and/or range contraction. Notes: Recent surveys suggest population undergoing steep population decline within 10 years. IFW surveys conducted in 2014 suggest population declined by 49% since 2004 (IFW unpublished data). Maine has high responsibility for wintering populat Regional Endemic: Calidris maritima's global geographic range is at least 90% contained within the area defined by USFWS Region 5, the Canadian Maritime Provinces, and southeastern Quebec (south of the St. Lawrence River). Notes: Recent surveys suggest population undergoing steep population decline within 10 years. IFW surveys conducted in 2014 suggest population declined by 49% since 2004 (IFW unpublished data).

  • The Oxbow Philadelphia Vireo
    The Oxbow Philadelphia Vireo Ron Lockwood In 1998 a Philadelphia Vireo {Vireo philadelphicus) was present during the spring and summer months in the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge in Harvard, an occurrence that was unusual since Harvard is well south of the region where this vireo species normally breeds. In the spring of 1999, a Philadelphia Vireo, possibly the same individual that was observed in 1998, was again present from the middle of May until at least August. In 1999, however, the vireo sang a song that was similar to the song of the Warbling Vireos {Vireo gilvus) that commonly breed along the Nashua River. It sang this aberrant song, as well as the normal Philadelphia Vireo song, for about the first month after arriving. Later in the summer it sang the normal Philadelphia Vireo song exclusively. Except for a mimid or starling, this was the first time I had heard an individual of one passerine species sing the song of another. To my ear, the aberrant song sounded very much like an abbreviated Warbling Vireo song, but sweeter and not quite so throaty. Upon careful observation, the bird’s plumage was consistent with that of a typical Philadelphia Vireo with dark lores, a yellow breast, a slightly less bright yellow belly and undertail coverts, and a gray crown grading into an olive nape and back. There was no visual indication that the vireo was a hybrid. Bird song serves multiple functions including the establishment and maintenance of breeding and feeding territories, and mate attraction (e.g., Kroodsma and Byers 1991; McDonald 1989).

  • PHVI-2020-10-Byrne Copy
    PHVI-2020-10 (Philadelphia Vireo) 1st round voting – December 6, 2020 Accepted: 8 Not Accepted: 1 black lores, yellow throat and undertail coverts rule out Warbling Vireo Although the photos submitted by Diane to the committee are decent and definitely adequate, Steve Kornfeld’s photos on eBird leave absolutely no doubt as to the ID (https://ebird.org/checklist/S74131980). The dark lores and yellowish ventrum, especially on the throat and upper breast, are conclusive, and eliminate any similar vireo species, especially a Warbling Vireo. Warbling vireo is eliminated based on dark lores and more yellow on undersides, Red-eyed vireo is eliminated based on smaller bill and lack of upper dark line to eyebrow. No comments There are better photos on eBird, too. The dark lores, compact shape, dark cap, and yellow upper breast all look good for Philly. Can't believe this was a first for the Oregon coast! I think I’m satisfied that the photos confirm this to be a Phillie Vireo. In an ideal world it would be nice to see the bird at additional angles, but from what we can see of the face in the two shots, particularly the dark line through the lore and eye, it appears to be wholly consistent with Phillie Vireo and not a good match for Warbling (or Red-eyed). Tennessee Warbler is, of course, the other species to be careful of, but the bird in Diana’s photos shows yellow undertail coverts as well as a yellow wash across the breast, whereas Tennessee should have whiter undertail coverts.

G. FRANZ SAUER, Gainesville, Fla., and EMIL K. URBAN, Madison, Wise. The avifauna of St. Lawrence Island, in the Bering Sea midway between the Old and the New Worlds, and about 400 km south of the Arctic Circle, was admirably summarized to date by Fay and Cade (1959). During our work there with Golden Plovers from 2 June to 28 August 1960 (Sauer, 1962), we made sundry observations on 57 other species that seem worth recounting as complimentary or additional to the Fay and Cade data. These add nesting records for five species to the island. Most of our obser- vations were restricted to the Boxer Bay area, but our records also include bird notes made on overland and boat trips from Boxer Bay to Gambell and to the western margin of Koozata Lagoon (Fig. 1). 171°30' Fig. 1 a, b.

  • Warbling Vireo (Vireo Gilvus)
    Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus) NMPIF level: Species Conservation Concern, Level 2 (SC2) NMPIF assessment score: 14 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: No special status New Mexico BCRs: 16, 34, 35 Primary breeding habitat(s): Mixed Conifer Forest, Montane Riparian Other habitats used: Spruce-Fir Forest, Ponderosa Pine Forest, Middle Elevation Riparian Summary of Concern Warbling Vireo is a generally stable and widespread species, but local population trends are uncertain. In New Mexico, it is associated with highland riparian and aspen communities which may be sensitive to disturbance or changes in forest structure. It may also be sensitive to nest parasitism by cowbirds and loss of winter habitat. Associated Species Dusky Grouse (BC2), Northern Goshawk (BC2), Red-naped Sapsucker (SC2), Purple Martin, Violet-green Swallow (SC2), American Robin, Orange-crowned Warbler, Black-headed Grosbeak Distribution Warbling Vireo is very broadly distributed across almost the entire United States and western Canada, excluding the southeast and Gulf Coast regions. Breeding populations also extend south in the Sierra Madre Occidental to central Mexico. The species winters along the Pacific slope of Mexico (Gardali and Ballard 2000). In New Mexico, Warbling Vireos breed in upper elevation forests and woodlands statewide, and also occur in lowland riparian areas. Ecology and Habitat Requirements Across its large range, this species occupies many different woodland and forest vegetation types. It is generally associated with riparian areas and mature, mixed deciduous woodlands. In many locations, it is strongly associated with cottonwood-dominated riparian forests, which provide favored habitat structure of large trees with a semi-open canopy. In New Mexico, it also shows a preference for aspen and spruce-aspen communities.
