Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

  • The First Record of Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius Hiaticula) in British Columbia
    The First Record of Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) in British Columbia. By Rick Toochin. Submitted: April 15, 2019. Introduction and Distribution The Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) is a widespread Old World shorebird species that is found breeding in the Arctic and subarctic regions from Greenland, Europe, east to Siberia (O’Brien et al. 2006). In North America, this species breeds on Baffin Island, eastern Ellesmere Island (Godfrey 1986). The Common Ringed Plover winters primarily from Western Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, throughout Africa, including Madagascar, and the Middle East (Hayman et al. 1986, O’Brien et al. 2006, Brazil 2009). There are three recognized subspecies of the Common Ringed Plover (Thies et al. 2018). Distinction between the subspecies is based on moult; with features changing clinally North to South, rather than East to West, making it impossible to draw a dividing line in Northwestern Europe (del Hoyo et al. 1996, Snow and Perrins 1998). The nominate subspecies of Common Ringed Plover is (C. h. hiaticula ) which breeds from southern Scandinavia to Great Britain, and northwestern France (Wiersma et al. 2019). This subspecies winters from Great Britain, south into Africa (del Hoyo et al. 1996, Snow and Perrins 1998). The second subspecies of the Common Ringed Plover is (C. h. tundrae) which is found breeding from northern Scandinavia, and northern Russia east to the Chukotskiy Peninsula, and is a casual breeder also in the northern Bering Sea region of Alaska on St Lawrence Island (Wiersma et al. 2019). This subspecies winters in the Caspian Sea region, and from Southwest Asia, south and east to South Africa (Wiersma et al.

  • Bird Monitoring at Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland, 2010, with Comparrison with 1996-20091,2
    Bird Populations 11:42-51 © The Institute for Bird Populations 2012 BIRD MONITORING AT ZACKENBERG, NORTHEAST GREENLAND, 2010, WITH COMPARRISON WITH 1996-20091,2 JANNIK HANSEN3, LARS HOLST HANSEN AND NIELS MARTIN SCHMIDT Department of Bioscience Aarhus University P.O. Box 358 DK-4000 Roskilde, Denmark JEROEN RENEERKENS Animal Ecology Group Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies University of Groningen PO Box 14 9750 AA Haren, The Netherlands Abstract. In 2010, bird populations continue to be monitored in a 15.8 km2 designated area at Zackenberg Research Station in central Northeast Greenland. Results are presented and compared with those from previous seasons (1995 – 2009). The breeding bird census resulted in densities generally comparable with previous years, but with relatively high densities of Sanderling (Calidris alba) and Dunlin (Calidris alpina). For all wader species, nesting was early compared to previous years, but with extremely low nest success. The number of Long-tailed Skua (Stercorarius longicaudus) territories was lower than average, and only one pair nested (unsuccessfully) in the census area, reflecting a season with very low lemming numbers. For Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis), the mean brood size was low early in the season, but later in the season numbers were close to average. Key words: Monitoring, Arctic, waders, geese, Lapland bunting, Long-tailed Skua, Rock Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting, climate.

  • An Oriental Plover Charadrius Veredus from the [95A, B]
    Correspondence 79 Correspondence An Oriental Plover Charadrius veredus from the [95A, B]. The habitat is mainly comprises fishery ponds, and Digha-Shankarpur Estuary, West Bengal: An addition open sunlit areas with sparse vegetation. The site was about 500 to the avifauna of mainland India m from the seacoast. The Oriental Plover Charadrius veredus is a widely distributed wader that breeds during April–July, in the dry steppes, arid grasslands, salt pans, and desert habitats of southern Siberia, Russia, Mongolia, and north-eastern China (Ozerskaya & Zabelin 2006; Stewart et al. 2007; Hayman et al. 2011) and migrates Both: Arajush Payra southwards along the South-east Asian coasts to spend the winter in Indonesia and north-western Australia (Branson & Minton 2006; Stewart et al. 2007). While birding on 26 October 2020 at the Digha-Shankarpur Estuary (21.65°N, 87.56°E; 1 m asl) in Purba Medinipur District, 95A, B. The Oriental Plover was spotted amidst fishery ponds. West Bengal, India, I spotted a single Oriental Plover foraging on the ground at the periphery of coastal fishery ponds, alongside a Pacific Golden PloverPluvialis fulva. I first photographed it [94A, Oriental Plover is considered a very rare passage migrant in B] at 1650 h on 08 November 2020, at the periphery of a fish South-east Asia (Robson 2011). There is only one record of this culture pond. It was regularly sighted and photographed from 09 species from India, from an unknown locality in the Andaman to 13 November 2020, and on 16 November 2020. Islands, of a specimen collected by Dr.
