Ardeol a 67(2), 2020, 449 -494 DOI: 10.13157/arla.67.2.2020.on NOTICIARIO ORNITOLÓGICO ORNITHOLOGICAL NEWS 1 2 3 Blas MOLIN A , Javier PRIET A , Juan Antonio LORENZ O (Canarias) 4 y Carlos LÓPEZ -JURAD O (Baleares) RESUMEN .— En este informe se muestra información sobre 149 especies que se reparten por toda la geografía nacional. Entre ellas, se incluyen 28 especies que aparecen de forma escasa para las que se muestra su distribución espacio-temporal en 2019 mediante mapas y gráficas (véase De Juana y Garcia, 2015; Gil-Velasco et al ., 2018; Rouco et al ., 2018). Para contabilizar el número de citas para cada espe- cie escasa se revisaron las observaciones disponibles en diferentes plataformas de recogida de datos, especialmente en eBird ( eBird , 2020; Observado , 2020; Reservoir Birds , 2020 y Ornitho , 2020), des - cartando aquellas que aparentemente correspondieran a las mismas citas hechas por diferentes observa - dores con el objeto de contar con muestras de datos lo suficientemente homogéneas. Para el archipiélago canario, se incorpora un buen número de citas correspondientes al episodio de calima que se produjo a finales de febrero de 2020. Dichas circunstancias meteorológicas provocaron la arribada de muchas aves accidentales procedentes del noroeste africano de las que dará cuenta el correspondiente informe del Comité de Rarezas de SEO/BirdLife, junto con muchas otras especies de paso que se pudieron observar en las islas con mayor frecuencia y en números más altos de lo habitual, y de las que se sinte- tiza en el presente informe aquellas observaciones más relevantes. Se sigue la secuencia taxonómica de acuerdo con la nueva lista patrón de las aves de España (Rouco et al ., 2019). -

Blue-Winged and Green-Winged Teals, Are the Marshes, Swamps, and Ponds of Zero to Low Water Movement
BirdWalk Newsletter 1.29.2017 Walk Conducted by: Perry Nugent Newsletter Written by: Jayne J. Matney Photo right by Cary McDonald Blue-winged Teal male with duckweed beak and chest followed by female partner Photo below by Chuck Fuhrman Two Green-winged Teal males This week will be the first in a series of articles covering the ducks of Magnolia Plantation. Most of our duck population is not of permanent residences. Instead, they migrate in for wintering and migrate out for breeding. The males are called “drakes” and the females are called “hens”. Some of these ducks are considered “dabblers”, which means they eat primarily along the surface of the water chewing or filtering from the surface and rarely dive, while others are the “divers”, which do just that-they dive head first into the water for feeding. Dabbling ducks will occasionally dive for food or to escape predators. Photo above left by Chuck Fuhrman Blue-winged Teal Photo above right by Perry Nugent Green-winged Teal The Blue-winged Teal, Anas discors, (above left) and the Green-winged Teal, Anas crecca, (above right) will be discussed this week. They are in the category of dabblers; both species primarily feed off of aquatic plants and seeds from the surface of the water and small larvae, insects, and crustaceans that may be found there as well. Apparently, egg laying females may feed mostly on animal rather than plant during those special times. Both species are small comparatively to other types of ducks, rest out of the water on stumps, rocks and broken branches, and are fast in flight. -

Die Vogelwarte 39, 1997: 131-140 Clues to the Migratory Routes of the Eastern Fly way of the Western Palearctics - Ringing Recoveries at Eilat, Israel [I - Ciconiiformes, Charadriiformes, Coraciiformes, and Passeriformes.] By Reuven Yosef Abstract: R euven , Y. (1997): Clues to the Migratory Routes of the Eastern Fly way of the Western Palearctics - Ringing Recoveries at Eilat, Israel [I - Ciconiiformes, Charadriiformes, Coraciiformes, and Passeriformes.] Vogelwarte 39: 131-140. Eilat, located in front of (in autumn) or behind (in spring) the Sinai and Sahara desert crossings, is central to the biannual migration of Eurasian birds. A total of 113 birds of 21 species ringed in Europe were recovered either at Eilat (44 birds of 12 species) or were ringed in Eilat and recovered outside Israel (69 birds of 16 spe cies). The most common species recovered are Lesser Whitethroat {Sylvia curruca), White Stork (Ciconia cico- nia), Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), Swallow {Hirundo rustica) Blackcap (S. atricapilla), Pied Wagtail {Motacilla alba) and Sand Martin {Riparia riparia). The importance of Eilat as a central point on the migratory route is substantiated by the fact that although the number of ringing stations in eastern Europe and Africa are limited, and non-existent in Asia, several tens of birds have been recovered in the past four decades. This also stresses the importance of taking a continental perspective to future conservation efforts. Key words: ringing, recoveries, Eilat, Eurasia, Africa. Address: International Bird Center, P. O. Box 774, Eilat 88106, Israel. 1. Introduction Israel is the only land brigde between three continents and a junction for birds migrating south be tween Europe and Asia to Africa in autumn and north to their breeding grounds in spring (Yom-Tov 1988). -

irds find Maine attractive for many of the same reasons we do—the state offers a unique blend of landscapes spanning from mountains to the sea, with forests, grasslands, rivers, marshes, and long coastlines in between. B Where we find beautiful places to hike and kayak, camp and relax, birds find the habitat they need for their survival. But while Maine’s diverse habitats serve an important role for over IBAs 400 bird species—some threatened, endangered, or of regional conservation in concern—the state’s not immune to a growing list of threats that puts these birds at further risk. Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due to development, toxins such as mercury and lead, oil spills on the coast and Maine inland waters, and climate change are top among them. BY ANDREW COLVIN In the face of these threats, a crucial step in conserving Maine’s birds is to identify the areas of the state that are most important for breeding, wintering, and migration. After several years of working toward that goal, Maine Audubon Lists Maine Audubon has recently completed the first phase of its Important 22 of the Most Important Bird Areas (IBA) program, identifying 22 areas across Maine that are vital Places in Maine for Vulnerable Birds to state—and even global—bird populations. HANS TOOM ERIC HYNES Eight of the rare birds used to identify IBAs in Maine (clockwise from left): Short-eared owl, black-throated blue warbler, least tern, common moorhen, scarlet tanager, harlequin duck, saltmarsh sharp-tailed sparrow, and razorbill.
