  • Short-Eared Owls in the Hawaiian Islands
    SHORT-EARED OWL Asio flammeus Other: Pueo, Hawaiian Owl A.f. flammeus (vagrant) A.f. sandwichensis (resident) native resident, endemic subspecies; non-breeding visitor, vagrant The Short-eared Owl breeds across Eurasia and N America, in S America, and on many islands around the world, including Pohnpei, the Galapagos Is, and the Hawaiian Islands (Dement'ev and Gladkov 1951b, Cramp and Simmons 1985, Holt and Leasure 1993, AOU 1998, Spennemann 2004). North-temperate populations are migratory, and the species has a proclivity toward wandering far to sea during migration (e.g., Henshaw 1901c, Bryan 1903a, Amerson and Shelton 1976). Migrants have also been recorded at Wake Atoll, Kosrae, and the Marshall Is (Kelso 1938, Johnson & Kienholz 1975, Jones 1995, Rauzon et al. 2008). On Johnston Atoll, 10+ records from 1965-2003 (e.g., Amerson and Shelton 1976; E 28:48-49) were followed by up to 10 present during the early 2010s, with nesting confirmed there in at least 2012 (BPBM 185941-185943, 186128; HRBP 6715); the subspecies (see below) of nesting birds here has yet to be determined (see below). Klavitter (2009) summarizes the natural history of Short-eared Owls in the Hawaiian Islands. The resident Hawaiian population of Short-eared Owl has been considered an endemic subspecies, A.f. sandwichensis, first named by Bloxam (1827a) as "Strix sandvicensis" following his observations during the 1825 voyage of the Blonde (Olson 1996a). Dole (1869, 1879), Sclater (1871), and others promoted a bit of confusion by referring it to two genera and species, Strix delicatula (an old name for Tyto owls of Southeastern Asia) and Brachyotus galapagoensis (along with Otus bracyotus, old names for Short-eared Owl) and it was given various other specific and subspecific names by early naturalists (Synonymies).

Despite extensive advances in scholarship since 1900, medieval his- torians continue to accept and repeat this revisionist position, a position that is methodologically jejune and that almost completely ignores the social dynamics of millennial beliefs.

  • Birds in the Ancient World from a to Z
    BIRDS IN THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z Why did Aristotle claim that male Herons’ eyes bleed during mating? Do Cranes winter near the source of the Nile? Was Lesbia’s pet really a House Sparrow? Ornithology was born in ancient Greece, when Aristotle and other writers studied and sought to identify birds. Birds in the Ancient World from A to Z gathers together the information available from classical sources, listing all the names that ancient Greeks gave their birds and all their descriptions and analyses. Arnott identifies (where achievable) as many of them as possible in the light of modern ornithological studies. The ancient Greek bird names are transliterated into English script, and all that the classical writers said about birds is presented in English. This book is accordingly the first complete discussion of classical bird names that will be accessible to readers without ancient Greek. The only previous study in English on the same scale was published over seventy years ago and required a knowledge of Greek and Latin. Since then there has been an enormous expansion in ornithological studies which has vastly increased our knowledge of birds, enabling us to evaluate (and explain) ancient Greek writings about birds with more confidence. With an exhaustive bibliography (partly classical scholarship and partly ornithological) added to encourage further study Birds in the Ancient World from A to Z is the definitive study of birds in the Greek and Roman world. W.Geoffrey Arnott is former Professor of Greek at the University of Leeds and Fellow of the British Academy.
