    Dominican Republic Endemics of Hispaniola II 1st February to 9th February 2021 (9 days) Palmchat by Adam Riley Although the Dominican Republic is perhaps best known for its luxurious beaches, outstanding food and vibrant culture, this island has much to offer both the avid birder and general naturalist alike. Because of the amazing biodiversity sustained on the island, Hispaniola ranks highest in the world as a priority for bird protection! This 8-day birding tour provides the perfect opportunity to encounter nearly all of the island’s 32 endemic bird species, plus other Greater Antillean specialities. We accomplish this by thoroughly exploring the island’s variety of habitats, from the evergreen and Pine forests of the Sierra de Bahoruco to the dry forests of the coast. Furthermore, our accommodation ranges from remote cabins deep in the forest to well-appointed hotels on the beach, each with its own unique local flair. Join us for this delightful tour to the most diverse island in the Caribbean!

Powers Introduction Rivoli's Hummingbird was named in honor of the Duke of Rivoli when the species was described by René Lesson in 1829 (1). Even when it became known that William Swainson had written an earlier description of this species in 1827, the common name Rivoli's Hummingbird remained until the early 1980s, when it was changed to Magnificent Hummingbird. In 2017, however, the name was restored to Rivoli's Hummingbird when the American Ornithological Society officially recognized Eugenes fulgens as a distinct species from E. spectabilis, the Talamanca Hummingbird, of the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama (2).

    British Virgin Islands Clive Petrovic, Esther Georges and Nancy Woodfield Andy McGowan Great Tobago General introduction The British Virgin Islands comprise more than 60 islands, and the Virgin Islands. These include the globally cays and rocks, with a total land area of approximately 58 threatened Cordia rupicola (CR), Maytenus cymosa (EN) and square miles (150 square km). This archipelago is located Acacia anegadensis (CR). on the Puerto Rican Bank in the north-east Caribbean at A quarter of the 24 reptiles and amphibians identified are approximately 18˚N and 64˚W. The islands once formed a endemic, including the Anegada Rock Iguana Cyclura continuous land mass with the US Virgin Islands and pinguis (CR), which is now restricted to Anegada. Other Puerto Rico, and were isolated only in relatively recent endemics include Anolis ernestwilliamsii, Eleutherodactylus geologic time. With the exception of the limestone island of schwartzi, the Anegada Ground Snake Alsophis portoricensis Anegada, the islands are volcanic in origin and are mostly anegadae, the Virgin Gorda Gecko Sphaerodactylus steep-sided with rugged topographic features and little flat parthenopian, the Virgin Gorda Worm Snake Typlops richardi land, surrounded by coral reefs. naugus, and the Anegada Worm Snake Typlops richardi Situated at the eastern end of the Greater Antilles chain, the catapontus.

" PREFACE This cruise report outlines the scientific activities for the forty- ninth cruise of the R/V Westward. These activities fall into two categories: a traditional academic program offered purely and directly for the students' scholastic benefit; and, a program of research and student projects in which the students' skill and drive and curiosity determined the scope and benefit of their participation. Emphasis was on study and investigation uniquely available aboard a sailing oceanographic research vessel. The scientific method was emphasized. An atmosphere conducive to successful scientific activity was provided by cooperative and capable nautical and scientific staffs. Captain Sid Miller cooperated with and assisted the scientific staff in an exemplary manner above and beyond the call of duty. The mates put the ship on station and kept her there for scientific operations. They were cooperative and capable in all respects. Engineer Gary Manter kept machinery and electrical equipment in excellent order and could be counted on for emergency repairs to scientific equipment. Steward Sally Kaul kept staff and students well fed. Her scientific background provided additional assistance to the science staff. Assistant Scientists Rob Moir and Rindy Ostermann were enthusiastic, energetic, and capable. They are to be commended for their work. Three visiting scientists and a visiting journalist added their ex- pertise to W-49.

  • Rainfall Correlates of Bird Population Fluctuations in a Puerto Rican Dry Forest: a Nine Year Study
    WilsonBull., 96(4), 1984,pp. 575-593 RAINFALL CORRELATES OF BIRD POPULATION FLUCTUATIONS IN A PUERTO RICAN DRY FOREST: A NINE YEAR STUDY JOHN FAABORG, WAYNE J. ARENDT, AND MARK S. KAISER Long-term studies on the population dynamics of Neotropical bird communities have been primarily limited to Panama (see Karr et al. [ 19821 for a mainland site and Willis [1974] for Barro Colorado Island). An earlier paper (Faaborg 1982a) contained the first long-term population measurements from a West Indian island, specifically a seasonally-dry forest site in southwest Puerto Rico. This Syear study apparently spanned a population peak followed by drought conditions and a severe population decline. The effects of drought on total populations, membership in dif- ferent foraging guilds, and winter resident densities were discussed. We have continued these studies and here report on 9 years of banding and population monitoring activities in a single location. This allows us to expand our previous observations on relationships between rainfall patterns and population traits of guilds and species and expose the data to statistical analyses. We also document the attempted invasion of a new species (Elaenia martinica) into the Guanica Forest bird community. The possible meaning of these observations in terms of island equilibrium theory (MacArthur and Wilson 1967), long-term climatic patterns (Pregill and Olson 198 l), and community structure studies (Faaborg 1982b) is discussed. STUDY AREA AND METHODS This study was done in seasonallydry scrubin the Guanica Forest of southwesternPuerto Rico (see Terborgh and Faaborg [1973] for detailed habitat description with photographs). This habitat occurs on a coraline limestone and contains sclerophyllousforest typical of such sites throughout the West Indies (Beard 1949).

  • History of the Common Rosefinch in Britain and Ireland, 1869-1996
    HISTORY OF THE COMMON ROSEFINCH IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND, 1869-1996 D. I. M. WALLACE Common Rosefinch Carpodacus erythrinus (D. I. M. Wallace) ABSTRACT Forty-five years ago, the Scarlet Grosbeak Carpodacus erythrinus was one of those birds that (supposedly) you had to go to Fair Isle to see. It was there, on 13th September 1951, that I visually devoured my first dumpy, oddly amorphous but beady-eyed example, as it clumped about in the same crop as an immature Black-headed Bunting Emberiza melanocephala. Both were presented to me by the late Professor Maury Meiklejohn, with the nerve-wracking enjoinder ‘I can see the rosefinch’s bill and wingbars, Ian, but you will have to help with the bunting. I need to know its rump and vent colours. I’m colour blind.’ That night, the late Ken Williamson commented ‘Grosbeaks are classic drift migrants’ and I remember, too, some discussion between him and the other senior observers concerning the (then still unusual) cross-Baltic movements to Sweden in spring. Not for a moment, however, did they consider that the species would one day breed in Britain. In 1992, when the Common Rosefinch, as it is now called, bred successfully at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire and on the Suffolk coast, its addition to the regular breeding birds of Britain seemed imminent. No such event has ensued. Since the late 1970s, the number of British and Irish records has grown so noticeably in spring that this trend, and particularly the 1992 influx, are likely to be associated with the much-increased breeding population of southern Fenno-Scandia.
