  • Hungary & Transylvania
    Although we had many exciting birds, the ‘Bird of the trip’ was Wallcreeper in 2015. (János Oláh) HUNGARY & TRANSYLVANIA 14 – 23 MAY 2015 LEADER: JÁNOS OLÁH Central and Eastern Europe has a great variety of bird species including lots of special ones but at the same time also offers a fantastic variety of different habitats and scenery as well as the long and exciting history of the area. Birdquest has operated tours to Hungary since 1991, being one of the few pioneers to enter the eastern block. The tour itinerary has been changed a few times but nowadays the combination of Hungary and Transylvania seems to be a settled and well established one and offers an amazing list of European birds. This tour is a very good introduction to birders visiting Europe for the first time but also offers some difficult-to-see birds for those who birded the continent before. We had several tour highlights on this recent tour but certainly the displaying Great Bustards, a majestic pair of Eastern Imperial Eagle, the mighty Saker, the handsome Red-footed Falcon, a hunting Peregrine, the shy Capercaillie, the elusive Little Crake and Corncrake, the enigmatic Ural Owl, the declining White-backed Woodpecker, the skulking River and Barred Warblers, a rare Sombre Tit, which was a write-in, the fluty Red-breasted and Collared Flycatchers and the stunning Wallcreeper will be long remembered. We recorded a total of 214 species on this short tour, which is a respectable tally for Europe. Amongst these we had 18 species of raptors, 6 species of owls, 9 species of woodpeckers and 15 species of warblers seen! Our mammal highlight was undoubtedly the superb views of Carpathian Brown Bears of which we saw ten on a single afternoon! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Hungary & Transylvania 2015 www.birdquest-tours.com We also had a nice overview of the different habitats of a Carpathian transect from the Great Hungarian Plain through the deciduous woodlands of the Carpathian foothills to the higher conifer-covered mountains.

  • 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.

  • Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

  • Reproductive Ecology of Urban-Nesting Glaucous-Winged Gulls Larus Glaucescens in Vancouver, Bc, Canada
    Kroc: Reproductive ecology of Glaucous-winged Gulls in Vancouver 155 REPRODUCTIVE ECOLOGY OF URBAN-NESTING GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS LARUS GLAUCESCENS IN VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA EDWARD KROC1,2 1Department of Statistics, University of British Columbia, 2207 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada ([email protected]) 2Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education, University of British Columbia, 2125 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada Received 01 November 2017, accepted 10 July 2018 SUMMARY KROC, E. 2018. Reproductive ecology of urban-nesting Glaucous-Winged Gulls Larus glaucescens in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Marine Ornithology 46: 155–164. The present study investigated the reproductive success and breeding ecology of 102 Glaucous-winged Gull Larus glaucescens pairs nesting in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia during the summer of 2015. These urban breeders enjoyed a remarkably high level of post-hatch fledging success (≥ 85%) compared to previous records for non-urban subpopulations in the region (≈ 70%). A relatively small average initial clutch size of 2.43 eggs was observed, which aligns with a historical analysis of the literature and corroborates the inference that clutch size has declined substantially in the region over the past century. I argue that the high level of post-hatch fledging success is likely attributable to a tendency of urban Glaucous-winged Gulls to establish isolated nesting territories, often on the rooftops of individual buildings, which leads to low intra- and interspecific predation. Given that offspring commonly return to their natal sites to breed later in life, the evolutionary impact of this reproductive differential could be significant for the ecological future of Glaucous-winged Gulls in the region.

  • Larus Marinus, L. Argentatus and L. Fuscus from Finland
    Migration and wintering strategies of juvenile and adult Larus marinus, L. argentatus and L. fuscus from Finland Mikael Kilpi & Pertti Saurola Kilpi, M . & Saurola, P.: Migration and wintering strategies of juvenile and adult Larus marinus, L. argentatus and L. fuscus from Finland. - Ornis Fennica 61 :1- 8. Finnish ringing data were used to examine the migratory patterns of adult (+5 yr) and juvenile S(1 yr) Great Black-backed, Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gulls from the coast of Finland . The birds generally leave the breeding area in autumn, the Great Black-back making the shortest journey and the Lesser Black-back migrating up to 7500 km. The two larger species winter within the Baltic, while the Lesser Black-back has a large wintering area, which extends down to Equatorial Africa . In contrast to the other two species, the Lesser Black-back largely uses freshwater habitats in winter . There is some evidence that age-dependent differences exist in all species . Juveniles were found to perform a return migration in spring, but considerably (2-3 months) later than the adults . In all three species, some individuals evi- dently stay in the wintering area during summer . The comparatively late return of the Lesser Black-backed adults is suggested to be responsible for the present poor breeding success . Comparison is made with other European populations . It is argued that adults and short-range mig- rants are better able to adjust their migratory behaviour to the prevailing condi- tions than juveniles and long-range migrants. The settlement of adult breeders in marginal areas probably does not require a genetic change in migratory prog- ramming, but the pattern may be shaped by selection acting on the juveniles .

  • Smith, C, a List of the Birds of Somerset, Part 2, Vol 16
    0m^r^^r BY MR. CECIL SMITH. S no list of our Somersetshire Birds has been pub- jL\. lished in the proceedings of our Society since that of Mr. Baker, in the first volume, dated 1849-50, it seems now to be quite time for a new list, as naturally in those twenty years some additions to the avi fauna of the county have to be made. I have now been able to add eleven new species not included in Mr. Baker’s list. On the other hand I have omitted several which he had included. As I did not think it right to increase the list by adding any of the rarer and more accidental visitants without being able to give a distinct authority for their having been found in the county, I have in all such cases given the place and date, and a reference to the authority on which I have relied. The list therefore, as it now stands, includes 227 species ; of these 63 are our ordinary common residents, 27 common regular summer, and 25 common and regular winter, visitants ; the rest may be considered only acci- 42 PAPERS, ETC. dental or rare occasional visitants, or such as are now becoming nearly extinct.
