Pages 138-141. Order PELECANIFORMES: Pelicans, Gannets, Cormorants and Allies The close relationship between the families Sulidae, Phalacrocoracidae and Anhingidae has been supported by most recent work, however, the monophyly of the traditional larger grouping of Pelecaniformes is the subject of ongoing debate (e.g. Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, Johnsgard 1993, Christidis & Boles 1994, Kennedy et al. 2000, Livezey & Zusi 2001, van Tuinen et al. 2001, Fain & Houde 2004, Kennedy & Spencer 2004, Nelson 2005, Christidis & Boles 2008). For this reason we have separated Phaethontidae to its own order. We are aware that Pelecanus may be related to Ciconiiformes (see Christidis & Boles 2008), but we retain the traditional grouping in the absence of a resolution of these higher-level relationships. Given the uncertainty, the suborders and superfamilies followed by Checklist Committee (1990) have not been used here. Otherwise, a traditional approach to the families is retained, pending resolution of the issues. The sequence of pelecaniform families follows Checklist Committee (1990) for consistency, and agrees with del Hoyo et al. (1992). The sequence of species within families follows Checklist Committee (1990) unless noted. Family SULIDAE Reichenbach: Gannets and Boobies Sulinae Reichenbach, 1849: Avium Syst. Nat.: 6 – Type genus Sula Brisson, 1760. Morus and Sula are considered generically distinct (Olson 1985b, van Tets et al. 1988, BOU Records Committee 1991, Friesen & Anderson 1997, Nelson 2005). Genus Sula Brisson Sula Brisson, 1760: Ornithologie 1: 60; 6: 494 – Type species (by tautonymy) Sula leucogaster Boddaert. Dysporus Illiger, 1811: Prodromus Syst. Mamm. Avium: 279. Unnecessary nomen novum for Sula Brisson, 1760. Hemisula Mathews, 1913: Austral Avian Rec. 2: 55 – Type species (by original designation) Sula leucogaster rogersi Mathews. Parasula Mathews, 1913: Austral Avian Rec. 2: 55 – Type species (by original designation) Sula dactylatra bedouti Mathews. In his list of New Zealand birds, Gray (1862: 250) included “Sula fiber”, with the following localities: “Enderby’s Island; Lord Howe’s Island?”. We are unable to identify this species, so regard it as a nomen dubium. Sula leucogaster Boddaert Brown Booby Pelecanus Leucogaster Boddaert, 1783: Tables des Planches Enluminéez d’Histoire Naturelle de M. d’Aubenton: 57, pl. 973 – Cayenne, South America. Breeds on tropical islands of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the Caribbean Sea. Four subspecies; three outside New Zealand region (Dorst & Mougin 1979, Carboneras 1992b): breeding on Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean islands (S. l. leucogaster) and on eastern Pacific islands (S. l. brewsteri Goss, 1888 and S. l. etesiaca Thayer & Bangs, 1905). All subspecies considered doubtfully distinct by some authors (e.g. Marchant & Higgins 1990). Sula leucogaster plotus Forster Brown Booby Pelecanus Plotus J.R. Forster, 1844: in Lichtenstein Descrip.

This race breeds on tropical islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, also the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (Dorst & Mougin 1979). Reaches New Zealand waters probably every year (e.g. Powlesland & Powlesland 1993, Veitch et al. 2004), rarely south to about 45°S (Pierce 1969). Sometimes these vagrants reside in an area for several months (e.g. Gaze 1975; Guest 1992; Taylor & Parrish 1992, 1994a) and may associate with gannets (e.g. Stein 1952, Hawkins et al. 1992, Hawkins & Cook 1994). A banded juvenile from Johnston Atoll was collected offshore from Okarito in 1986 (NMNZ 23569). .

Plumage and sexual maturation in the Great Frigatebird Fregata minor in the Galapagos Islands. Marine Ornithology 34: 51–59. The adaptive significance of distinctive immature plumages and protracted sexual and plumage maturation in birds remains controversial. This study aimed to establish the pattern of plumage maturation and the age at first breeding in the Great Frigatebird Fregata minor in the Galapagos Islands. We found that Great Frigatebirds attain full adult plumage at eight to nine years for females and 10 to 11 years for males and that they rarely attempted to breed before acquiring full adult plumage. The younger males succeeded only at attracting a mate, and males and females both bred at the age of nine years when their plumage was nearly completely adult. Although sexual maturity was reached as early as nine years, strong competition for nest-sites may further delay first reproduction. We discuss our findings in light of the several hypotheses for explaining delayed plumage maturation in birds, concluding that slow sexual and plumage maturation in the Great Frigatebird, and perhaps among all frigatebirds, may result from moult energetic constraints during the subadult stage.

We started the tour in Cairns in Far North Queensland, where we found ourselves surrounded by multiple habitats from the tidal mudflats of the Cairns Esplanade, the Great Barrier Reef and its sandy cays, lush lowland and highland rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands, and we even made it to the edge of the Outback near Mount Carbine; the next leg of the tour took us south to Southeast Queensland where we spent time in temperate rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests within Lamington National Park. The third, and my favorite leg, of the tour took us down to New South Wales, where we birded a huge variety of new habitats from coastal heathland to rocky shorelines and temperate rainforests in Royal National Park, to the mallee and brigalow of Inland New South Wales. The fourth and final leg of the tour saw us on the beautiful island state of Tasmania, where we found all 13 “Tassie” endemics. We had a huge list of highlights, from finding a roosting Lesser Sooty Owl in Malanda; to finding two roosting Powerful Owls near Brisbane; to having an Albert’s Lyrebird walk out in front of us at O Reilly’s; to seeing the rare and endangered Regent Honeyeaters in the Capertee Valley, and finding the endangered Swift Parrot on Bruny Island, in Tasmania.

Abstract Introduction: I here comment on the phylogenetic position and generic status of the rare and threatened Abbott's Booby Papasula abbotti. I argue that the current genus name of this species was erected from an incorrect interpretation of a phylogenetic hypothesis and a straightforward decision about its generic placement cannot be made, given the conflicts regarding the species' closer phylogenetic relationships.

  • Birds of Flinders Chase National Park
    Flinders Chase National Park List of birds The following list includes all bird species known from Flinders Chase National Park. 126 are listed (including two native to Australia but introduced to Kangaroo Island, and four introduced to Australia). The species range from the extremely common, to those known from only a few sightings. It is worth remembering that some birds are migratory and can be seen only at certain times of the year (for example many of the coastal seabirds are seen only in the winter months). An invaluable source of information for any keen birdwatcher is Birds of Kangaroo Island – A Photographic Field Guide by Chris Baxter (2015, ATF Press). Nomenclature and sequence in this bird list has been taken from An annotated list of the birds of Kangaroo Island by Chris Baxter (1995, National Parks and Wildlife Service), which follows Christidis and Boles (1995) The Taxonomy and Species of Birds of Australia and its Territories. The details on bird status and habitat preference for Kangaroo Island have been taken from Baxter (2005) (see key on last page for explanations).

  • Variation in Numbers of Scleral Ossicles and Their Phylogenetic Transformations Within the Pelecaniformes
    VARIATION IN NUMBERS OF SCLERAL OSSICLES AND THEIR PHYLOGENETIC TRANSFORMATIONS WITHIN THE PELECANIFORMES KENNETH I. WARHEIT, • DAVID A, GOOD,2 AND KEVIN DE QUEIROZ2 •Departmentof Paleontology,University of California,Berkeley, California 94720 USA, and 2Departmentof Zoologyand Museum of VertebrateZoology, University of California,Berkeley, California 94720 USA ABSTRACT.--Weexamined scleral rings from 44 speciesof Pelecaniformesand found non- random variation in numbersof scleralossicles among genera, but little or no variability within genera.Phaethon, Fregata, and Pelecanusretain the primitive 15 ossiclesper ring, while the most recent common ancestorof the Sulae (Phalacrocoracidae,Anhinga, and Sulidae) is inferred to have had a derived reduction to 12 or 13 ossicles.Within the Sulidae, Sula (sensu stricto)exhibits further reduction to 10 ossicles.These patterns of ossiclereduction are con- gruentwith both Cracraft'shypothesis of pelecaniformrelationships (1985) and that of Sibley et al. (1988). The presenceof scleral rings in museumspecimens is significantly greater for Phaethonand Fregata,and lessfor Pelecanus,than would be expectedfrom a random distri- bution. We concludethat the scleralring is of potential systematicimportance, and we make recommendationsfor its preservationin museumcollections. Received 11 August1988, accepted 25 January1989.

  • Colonial Defense Behavior in Double-Crested and Pelagic Cormorants
    COLONIAL DEFENSE BEHAVIOR IN DOUBLE-CRESTED AND PELAGIC CORMORANTS DOUGLASSIEGEL-CAUSEY 1 AND GEORGEL. HUNT, JR. Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92717 USA ABSTRACT.--Weexamine the predictions,based upon the hypothesesof Coulson(1968), Ham- ilton (1971), and Vine (1971), that (1) specieswhose coloniesare accessibleto predatorsshould form tighter groupings and have fewer isolated nests than those with reduced accessibilityto predators,(2) nestsat the centershould be lesssubject to predationthan those at the edgeof a colony,(3) nestsboth in the centerand with reducedaccessibility should have the lowestpredation pressureof all nests,and (4) individualsthat nest in accessiblelocations should have more vigorous and more sustainedantipredator behaviors than thoseindividuals unlikely to comefrequently in contactwith predators.To test thesepredictions, we compareintrusions by two predators,the Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus) and the Glaucous-wingedGull (Larus glaucescens),at isolated and grouped nestsof the cliff-face nesting Pelagic Cormorant (Phalacrocoraxpelagicus) and cliff-top nestingDouble-crested Cormorant (P. auritus) on Mandarte Island, British Colum- bia. Both crowsand gullspreferred to visit the edgenests of both species,especially those on level ground. The steeperand more central the nest location, the lesslikely was visitation. Gulls were restrictedby topographyfrom enteringthe Pelagiccolony, while crowswere able to land in either colony. Predator successwas high only in flat, accessibleareas. Both cormorantspecies depend upon the habitat to deter predator access:the Double-crestedCormorant utilizes a defenseregime of energeticand aggressivebehaviors; the Pelagic Cormorant uses a much lesseffective defense and dependsmuch more on the habitat as a necessarypart of nestdefense.

  • First Report of Abnormal Plumage in the Anhingidae
    Florida Field Naturalist 40(3):81-84, 2012. FIRST REPORT OF ABNORMAL PLUMAGE IN THE ANHINGIDAE WILLIAM POST The Charleston Museum, 360 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29403 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—Plumage abnormalities are rarely reported for species of Pelecaniformes and have not been recorded for most species of this order. I describe a noneumelanic schizochroic female Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) collected in South Carolina in 1987, the first reported case of aberrant plumage in this species. Here I report a specimen of what is apparently the first known occurrence of abnormal plumage coloration in the Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga). The specimen is the fawn variant of schizochroism, a condition resulting from the complete absence of the black or gray pigment eumelanin, with the retention of the brown or buff pigment phaeomelanin, which is normally masked by eumelanin. I compare the plumage of this female with that of normally-colored females. I relate the occurrence of this case of schizocroism to the reported incidence of plumage abnormalities among other species of Pelecaniformes. RESULTS In 1988 I was given a specimen of a female Anhinga with abnormal, drab-brown plumage. It was salvaged from a freshwater pond near Kingstree, South Carolina, 19 August 1987. It was prepared as a study skin with right wing detached and spread (Fig. 1). The color of the specimen, is “fawn” or “cinnamon”, which is characteristic of schizochroic plumage (Harrison 1985). The colors of some feather tracts differ slightly in intensity. The tertials and feathers of the humeral tract are raw umber (color 123 of Smithe 1975).

  • Sula Sula (Red-Footed Booby)
    UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour Sula sula (Red-footed Booby) Family: Sulidae (Boobies and Gannets) Order: Pelecaniformes (Pelicans and Allied Waterbirds) Class: Aves (Birds) Fig. 1. Red-footed booby, Sula sula. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-footed_booby#/media/File:Sula_sula_by_Gregg_Yan_01.jpg, downloaded 6 September 2016] TRAITS. The red-footed booby is the smallest species of booby, weighing 900-1000g. As its name suggests, this species has short, strong legs and large webbed feet which are red in colour (Fig. 1). The red-footed booby has strong neck muscles and an elongated bill with jagged edges that has a pale blue colour. They have closed external nostrils and secondary nostrils on the bill close to the eyes, which are covered by flaps (Frank, 2002). The covering and closing of the nostrils aid the red-footed booby when diving or plunging into the water. The tail is of a wedge shape and the wings are very long with a wingspan of 91-101cm to help the bird whilst flying in high winds. The red-footed booby has a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body, with a length of 70-71cm, which UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour gives them the ability to penetrate the water easily and with high speed when plunging. Apart from the colour of their feet the red-footed booby has several colour morphs with different names (Fig. 2). In general, the underparts are white, with darker feathers on the upper parts. ECOLOGY. The red-footed booby has a wide geographical range covering the majority of the tropics (del Hoyo et al., 1992).
