    Field Guides Tour Report Taiwan 2020 Feb 1, 2020 to Feb 12, 2020 Phil Gregory & local guide Arco Huang For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. This gorgeous male Swinhoe's Pheasant was one of the birds of the trip! We found a pair of these lovely endemic pheasants at Dasyueshan. Photo by guide Phil Gregory. This was a first run for the newly reactivated Taiwan tour (which we last ran in 2006), with a new local organizer who proved very good and enthusiastic, and knew the best local sites to visit. The weather was remarkably kind to us and we had no significant daytime rain, somewhat to my surprise, whilst temperatures were pretty reasonable even in the mountains- though it was cold at night at Dasyueshan where the unheated hotel was a bit of a shock, but in a great birding spot, so overall it was bearable. Fog on the heights of Hohuanshan was a shame but at least the mid and lower levels stayed clear. Otherwise the lowland sites were all good despite it being very windy at Hengchun in the far south. Arco and I decided to use a varied assortment of local eating places with primarily local menus, and much to my amazement I found myself enjoying noodle dishes. The food was a highlight in fact, as it was varied, often delicious and best of all served quickly whilst being both hot and fresh. A nice adjunct to the trip, and avoided losing lots of time with elaborate meals.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

We aimed to ascertain the conservation status of avian assemblages inhabited in six different coniferous forests. The study employed the point count method to determine the avian assemblages in each forest type. The surveys were conducted employing the distance sampling point count method and determining the oristic composition through direct visual estimation from January 2018 to March 2019. In total, 2465 bird individuals representing 57 species and 29 families were observed in six coniferous forests. Twelve tree species, nine shrub species, and 14 grass species were identied in the forests.

By arranging melanosomes in the feather melanosomes embedded in the keratin matrix of the barbules. barbules in more or less regular patterns with nanosized dimensions, We investigated the spectral and spatial reflection characteristics of vivid iridescent colours are created due to constructive interference the feathers by applying (micro)spectrophotometry and imaging in a restricted wavelength range (Durrer, 1977; Prum, 2006). scatterometry. To interpret the spectral data, we performed optical The melanosomes come in many different shapes and forms, and modelling, applying the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method their spatial arrangement is similarly diverse (Prum, 2006).

  • JAPANESE BUSH-WARBLER Cettia Diphone
    JAPANESE BUSH-WARBLER Cettia diphone Other: Bush Warbler, Uguisu C. d. cantans? naturalized (non-native) resident, long established The Japanese Bush Warbler is native to Japan and surrounding islands, with northern populations being slightly migratory (AOU 1998). It and the Chinese or Manchurian bush-warbler (C. canturians) of e. China are closely related and sometimes considered conspecific (as "Bush Warbler"). Japanese Bush-Warblers have not been introduced anywhere in the world except the Southeastern Hawaiian Islands, where they were released on O'ahu in 1929-1941 (Caum 1933, Long 1981, Lever 1987) and have since spread naturally to most or all other Southeastern Islands. Concerns have been expressed about competition of bush-warblers for food with native species (Foster 2009). Japanese Bush-Warblers were initially introduced by the HBAF in 1929 to control insects, but several other releases on O'ahu (totaling approximately 138 individuals) were made by the Honolulu Mejiro Club and Hui Manu Society for aesthetic purposes, primarily or entirely in Nu'uanu Valley in 1931-1941 (Caum 1933; HAS 1967; Swedberg 1967a; Berger 1972, 1975c, 1981; E 17:2-3, 37:148; PoP 49[12]:29). They spread quickly on O'ahu, were noted by Munro (1944) in the Waianae Range by 1935, were considered established by Bryan (1941), were found commonly throughout both this and the Ko'olau Range by the 1950s (Northwood 1940, Pedley 1949; E 1[12]:3-4, 17:2-3, 25:91, 27:15-16, 31:108; summarized by Berger 1975c, Shallenberger 1977c, Shallenberger and Vaughn 1978), and were observed as far as Kahuku by 1977 (E 38:56).
