  • Revision of the Endemic West Indian Genus Melopyrrha from Cuba and the Cayman Islands
    Orlando H. Garrido et al. 134 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(2) Revision of the endemic West Indian genus Melopyrrha from Cuba and the Cayman Islands by Orlando H. Garrido, James W. Wiley, Arturo Kirkconnell, Patricia E. Bradley, Alexandra Günther-Calhoun & Daysi Rodríguez Received 18 September 2013 Summary.—Hartert described the Grand Cayman population of Melopyrrha as separate from the Cuban population, but the two forms were considered conspecifc by Bond and later authors. Based on diferences in body size, plumage and vocalisations, we recommend the two populations be treated as separate endemic species: Cuban Bullfnch Melopyrrha nigra on Cuba, Isla de Pinos and cays of the Cuban archipelago, and Cayman Bullfnch M. taylori for Grand Cayman. We present natural history information for both populations. Cuban Bullfnch Melopyrrha nigra occurs in the Cuban archipelago and on Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands (Garrido & García Montaña 1975, AOU 1998, 2012, Rafaele et al. 1998, Bradley & Rey-Millet 2013). Bonaparte described the genus Melopyrrha in 1853 based on Loxia nigra named by Linnaeus. Cuban Bullfnch, called Negrito in Cuba and Black Sparrow in the Cayman Islands, was described by Linnaeus in 1758 under the name Loxia nigra, based on material from Cuba. In his earliest works, Gundlach (1856, 1876) was unaware that the bullfnch’s range extended to the Cayman Islands, but mentioned Grand Cayman in a later (1893: 110)­­ publication, as did Cory (1892: 112). The Cayman population was considered the same as the Cuban taxon until Hartert (1896) described the Grand Cayman population as Melopyrrha taylori. For several years, both taxa were treated Figure 1.

  • The Lesser Antillean Bullfinch in the Virgin Islands
    338 THE WILSON BULLETIN . Vol. 89, No. 2 successful feeding attempts. We noted, however, that aggressive and non-aggressive sandpipers had similar feeding attempt rates. According to Recher and Recher (Wilson Bull. 81:14%154, 1969) a point is reached when the frequency and intensity of aggression among sandpipers declines as they be- come more concentrated in an area of abundant food. The adult sandpipers we watched may have reached this point but the juveniles may not have-possibly because they were less efficient than adults (see Recher, Ecology 47: 393-403, 1966) in catching prey and therefore had a higher threshhold for lowering aggression. We thank D. G. Ainley, J. P. Hailman, and M. A. Howe for their helpful comments.

  • FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS: Lesser Antilles 2013
    Field Guides Tour Report Lesser Antilles 2013 Mar 30, 2013 to Apr 14, 2013 Jesse Fagan I hadn't run this tour for three years so I was a little bit curious about how things had changed on "the islands." I am always nervous about the connecting flights, lost baggage (LIAT don't let us down!), and general logistics on this logistically complicated tour. However, we seem to have it down to a science after years of practice, and LIAT has gotten better! It was a great tour in 2013. We saw all of the Lesser Antilles' endemics very well including great looks at the tough ones: Grenada Dove (my closest and best encounter ever; and at the last minute!), Imperial Parrot (chasing a pair through the Syndicate forest and eventually having them right over our heads!), St. Lucia Black-Finch (at our feet; and it does have pink feet!), and White-breasted Thrasher (twelve, count 'em twelve! on the island of Martinique). It was an adventure and I want to thank this most excellent group for doing it with me. I can't wait to see you all again. More a bird of the Greater Antilles, the White-crowned Pigeon reaches the northern Lesser Antilles --Jesse aka Mot (from Lima, Peru) islands of Antigua and Barbuda, where it is quite common.

Résumé. – Diversité aviaire, abondance et situation de conservation de la Réserve de la Biosphère de Macaya. – Les oiseaux de deux bosquets de montagnes ont été recensés dans la Réserve de la Bios- phère de Macaya, Sud d'Haïti, entre le 7 et le 14 février 2004. Les résultats sont les suivants : 37 espèces, 234 captures au filet, 121 points de comptage et 451 observations. Les 37 espèces correspondent à 9 migrateurs de l'Amérique du Nord et 28 sédentaires, dont 11 endémiques de l'île d'Haïti (Hispaniola). Les deux bosquets diffèrent nettement tant au niveau de la diversité qu'à celui de la quantité des oiseaux. La forêt mésique de latifoliés sur karst, située à 1175–1250 m d'altitude, présente 2 à 3 fois plus d'espèces que la forêt humide de la tifoliés de montagne à 1825–1915 m. Nous confirmons la présence de la Grive de Bicknell (Catharus bicknelli) dans les deux sites par la capture de 13 individus, ainsi que celle de la Paruline de Swainson (Limnothlypis swainsonii), signalée pour la première fois en Haïti (5 individus capturés).
