In their journey, they cross the Strait of Gibraltar and the Sahara Desert until they reach their destination. Shoebills rarely perform long flights; when flushed, they usually try to fly no more than to m to 1, ft Shoebills are attracted to poorly oxygenated waters; this causes the fish to surface for air more often and birds can successfully capture it. Generally speaking, the stork is an easily recognizable bird. During the fall, these birds fly mostly to southern Africa where they find abundant food and a warm climate. Shoebills are considered to be one of the five most desirable birds in Africa by birdwatchers. It does not form breeding colonies, and is usually found alone or in pairs.

  • First Record of an Extinct Marabou Stork in the Neogene of South America
    First record of an extinct marabou stork in the Neogene of South America JORGE IGNACIO NORIEGA and GERARDO CLADERA Noriega, J.I. and Cladera, G. 2008. First record of an extinct marabou stork in the Neogene of South America. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 53 (4): 593–600. We describe a new large species of marabou stork, Leptoptilus patagonicus (Ciconiiformes, Ciconiidae, Leptoptilini), from the late Miocene Puerto Madryn Formation, Chubut Province, Argentina. The specimen consists mainly of wing and leg bones, pelvis, sternum, cervical vertebrae, and a few fragments of the skull. We provisionally adopt the traditional system− atic scheme of ciconiid tribes. The specimen is referred to the Leptoptilini on the basis of similarities in morphology and intramembral proportions with the extant genera Ephippiorhynchus, Jabiru,andLeptoptilos. The fossil specimen resembles in overall morphology and size the species of Leptoptilos, but also exhibits several exclusive characters of the sternum, hu− merus, carpometacarpus, tibiotarsus, and pelvis. Additionally, its wing proportions differ from those of any living taxon, providing support to erect a new species. This is the first record of the tribe Leptoptilini in the Tertiary of South America. Key words: Ciconiidae, Leptoptilos, Miocene, Argentina, South America. Jorge I.

  • Flamingos, Stilts and Whales
    Nature Vol. 289 29 January 1981 347 Flamingos, stilts and whales from Andrew Milner THE phylogenetic position of the flamingos (family Phoenicopteridae) has long been the subject of controversy among avian systematists with some workers supporting relationship with the Anseriformes (ducks and geese) whilst others favour association with the Ciconiiformes (storks, herons and ibis). The evidence has been reviewed recently by Olson and Feduccia (Relationships and Evolulion oj Flamingos (A ves: Phoenicopteridae) Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology 316, Smithsonian Institution Press; 1980) who have developed an earlier proposal by Feduccia that the flamingos fall within the Charadriiformes (waders, gulls and auks). Characteristics of the musculature, the skeleton, the natal down and the endoparasitic cestodes all lead to the conclusion that the closest living relatives of the flamingos are the Recurvirostridae (stilts and avocets) and, more specifically, the Australian Banded Stilt (Cladorhynchus). This remarkable bird lives in colonies frequenting temporary salt lakes in southern Australia and its behaviour, pattern of breeding and life history all bear specific similarities to those of flamingos. The B earliest certain fossil flamingo from the Eocene of Wyoming is described by Head of a Lesser Flamingo, Phoeniconaias minor (A), compared with that of a Black Right Olson and Feduccia and supports their Whale, Eubalaena glacialis (B), to show the hypothesis by being morphologically convergent similarities in the filter·feeding intermediate

The status of CASG 71892 as the oldest known record of either of the two spp. of Uria was recently confirmed by the review of Watanabe et al. (2016). The younger of the two marine transgressions at the Tolstoi Point corresponds to the Bigbendian transgression (Olson, 2013), which contains the Gauss-Matuyama magnetostratigraphic boundary (Kaufman and Brigham-Grette, 1993). Attempts to date this reversal have been recently reviewed by Ohno et al. (2012); Singer (2014), and Head (2019). In particular, Deino et al. (2006) were able to tightly bracket the age of the reversal using high-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of two tuffs in normally and reversely magnetized lacustrine sediments from Kenya, obtaining a value of 2.589 ± 0.003 Ma.

  • Spread-Wing Postures and Their Possible Functions in the Ciconiidae
    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY Von. 88 Oc:roBE'a 1971 No. 4 SPREAD-WING POSTURES AND THEIR POSSIBLE FUNCTIONS IN THE CICONIIDAE M. P. KAI-IL IN two recent papers Clark (19'69) and Curry-Lindahl (1970) have reported spread-wingpostures in storks and other birds and discussed someof the functionsthat they may serve. During recent field studies (1959-69) of all 17 speciesof storks, I have had opportunitiesto observespread-wing postures. in a number of speciesand under different environmentalconditions (Table i). The contextsin which thesepostures occur shed somelight on their possible functions. TYPES OF SPREAD-WING POSTURES Varying degreesof wing spreadingare shownby at least 13 species of storksunder different conditions.In somestorks (e.g. Ciconia nigra, Euxenuragaleata, Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis, and ]abiru mycteria) I observedno spread-wingpostures and have foundno referenceto them in the literature. In the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) I observedonly a wing-droopingposture--with the wings held a short distanceaway from the sidesand the primaries fanned downward--in migrant birds wetted by a heavy rain at NgorongoroCrater, Tanzania. Other species often openedthe wingsonly part way, in a delta-wingposture (Frontis- piece), in which the forearmsare openedbut the primariesremain folded so that their tips crossin front o.f or below the. tail. In some species (e.g. Ibis leucocephalus)this was the most commonly observedspread- wing posture. All those specieslisted in Table i, with the exception of C. ciconia,at times adopted a full-spreadposture (Figures i, 2, 3), similar to those referred to by Clark (1969) and Curry-Lindahl (1970) in severalgroups of water birds.

A & Usha. S Governmental Arts College (Autonomous), Kumbakonam Abstract- The role of avifauna in the ecosystem are as scavenger, pollinators, seeds dispersal agents and predators of insect pest and also an important indicator to evaluate different habitats both qualitatively and quantitatively. Wetlands are also important for birds for their feeding, roosting, nesting and rearing young activities. The present study was conducted in the cultivated areas and water bodies of the villages adjacent to Kumbakonam. Birds were estimated using total count method. Activity pattern and physio-chemical parameters of fresh water habitats were identified using standard methodologies. Thirty one species of water birds belonging to 14 families have been identified in the waterways at the study area. The density of diving birds, swimming birds, small waders, large waders and aerial foragers were slightly higher in the month of November than March. Most of the birds observed and recorded higher in monsoon followed by pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Physio-chemical parameters of water in the study sites was slightly alkaline nature and contained high amounts of pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, salinity and turbidity throughout the study period.
