FOS Official State List FOS Official State List Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee This is the formal list of modern bird species that have occurred in Florida by natural appearance or by establishment of an exotic. The base list shall be the Supplement: Checklist of Florida Birds, pp. 255-260 in Robertson & Woolfenden (1992), as updated by final decisions of the Florida Ornithological Society’s Records Committee. Status = Review species (Review), established exotics (Exotic); extinct or extirpated native species (Extinct) and disestablished exotics (Disestablished Exotic). Extinct species do not reduce the size of the Florida list, but a disestablished exotic species does. A distinctive member of a subspecies group may be added to the list for review purposes (see below), but it shall not be counted on the list beyond the species’ presence there. Review species should be documented when detected in Florida and submitted to the FOSRC for review. In addition, documentation should be submitted to the FOSRC for any species detected in Florida believed to have occurred naturally or to have escaped, but not appearing in the main list below or in its formatted download versions. Currently, there are 545 total taxa of which nine are subspecies, four are extinct, and one is a disestablished exotic leaving 531 extant species. Of these 531 species 17 are established exotics.

  • 2016 Checklist of Florida'a Birds
    Artwork by Ann Marie Tavares 2016 Checklist of Florida’s Birds Prepared by Dr. Greg Schrott and Andy Wraithmell The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Florida’s wild places are home to an incredible diversity of birds. Over 500 native bird species or naturally occurring strays have been recorded in the state in historic times, and about 330 native species commonly occur here (four have gone extinct). A further 14 nonnative species are considered to have established large, stable populations in Florida. More than 70 natural community types support this diversity, from the pine flatwoods of Apalachicola National Forest, to the scrub communities of the Lake Wales Ridge, and the vast sawgrass marshes and mangrove swamps of Everglades National Park. Our natural areas harbor many bird species seen nowhere else in the United States such as the Florida Scrub-Jay, Mangrove Cuckoo, and Snail Kite. In addition, Florida’s birdlife changes with the cycle of the seasons. A constant turnover of breeding, wintering and migratory species provides new birding experiences throughout the year. To help you keep track of the spectacular range of birdlife the state has to offer, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has published this checklist. The first edition of Checklist of Florida’s Birds was prepared by Dr. Henry M. Stevenson in 1986. During his lifetime, Dr. Stevenson made many contributions to the field of ornithology, culminating with his writing The Birdlife of Florida with Bruce H. Anderson (1994). This book offers the most comprehensive information published on the lives of Florida’s birds.

  • Iceland Gull Larus Glaucoides
    Iceland Gull Larus glaucoides Folk Name: (none) Status: Migrant Abundance: Accidental Habitat: Open water of lakes or rivers The Iceland Gull breeds in the Arctic and most spend the winter along the northeastern coast of the United States and Canada. They are rare, but somewhat regular, along the coast of the Carolinas between October and April. They are casual inland. An immature Iceland Gull was seen and well photographed on Lake Norman on March 9, 2014, by several observers in two boats, one captained by David and Marcia Wright and the other captained by Chris Talkington. This sighting represents the first record of this species for both Mecklenburg County and Iredell County, and is also the first and only report of an Iceland Gull in the Central Carolina region. This bird wasn’t an easy find. The birders located the gull after carefully “sifting” through hundreds of other gulls roosting on the lake. Kevin Metcalf noted these field marks: Seemed to be second winter plumage. …Larger than Ring-billed Gulls and smaller than Herring Gull. Washed out whitish gull. Pale gray on back. Primaries whitish with slight brown-gray tint, tail in flight slightly more brown-gray than rump. Bill bi-colored dark at tip, pale base. Eye appeared dark Iceland Gull on Lake Norman.

  • (369) the Glaucous Gull in Winter
    (369) THE GLAUCOUS GULL IN WINTER BY G. T. KAY. (Plates 40-53). SINCE the winter of 1941-42 the Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus) has become a comparatively numerous winter-visitor to the Shet­ land Islands. At a refuse dump on the outskirts of Lerwick where it had been rare to see more than half a dozen of these birds together, it is now a common occurrence to see thirty or forty and occasion­ ally as many as a hundred. During the winter of 1945-46, the writer, with others interested in the project, arranged for an attempt to be made to photograph particularly Glaucous Gulls and possibly Iceland Gulls (Larus glaucoides) in the vicinity of the dump. The proposal was to use still and cine cameras from hides. It was hoped that a series of photographs might be secured which would do something towards clearing up the difficulties of dis­ tinguishing between these two species in the field, which have proved to be in some respects greater than used to be supposed. We were fortunate as regards the Glaucous Gull. A series of photographs and 300ft. of cine film were taken of this arctic visitor at most stages of plumage from the bird in its first winter plumage to that of the fully adult. Further photographs were added during the winter of 1946-47. Unfortunately the only Iceland Gull seen during these two winters was a dead specimen ; an immature bird in its first winter which had been captured on a fishing boat off the east side of Shetland on January 16th, 1947.

  • Records Committee Report
    138 Florida Field Naturalist 28(3):138-160, 2000. RECORDS COMMITTEE REPORT Thirteenth Report of the Florida Ornithological Society Records Commit- tee: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000.—The Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee (FOSRC) critically reviews all written sight reports and specimens and/or photographic records (including audio recordings) submitted to it to determine the validity of the reports. The Committee’s findings are published periodically in the Flor- ida Field Naturalist (FFN). Of the 65 reports received and logged in 1996 through June 2000, 6 were not reviewed for various reasons discussed subsequently, 1 was withdrawn, and 4 are still under consideration: Cassin’s Kingbird, Tyrannus vociferans (97-375); Thayer’s Gull, Larus thayeri (99-389); Tropical Kingbird, Tyrannus melancholicus (00- 402); and Black-headed Gull, Larus ridibundus (00-410). The committee considered 7 reports submitted prior to 1996. Of these, 1 was not reviewed. Thus of the 60 reports resolved, 36 (60%) were accepted and 24 (40%) were not accepted. Since 1996, 13 species were added to the official FOSRC list of accepted Florida spe- cies. In addition, Rufous-sided Towhee was split into Eastern Towhee and Spotted Towhee, both verified from Florida, and Sharp-tailed Sparrow was split into Nelson’s Sharp-tailed Sparrow and Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow, also both verified from Flor- ida, bringing the total to 480 species (see R&W 1992, FFN 23:38-43, FFN 24:122-134) (Appendix 1).

  • The Large and Small Gulls (Aves: Laridae) of Gujarat
    The large and small gulls (Aves: Laridae ) of Gujarat Prasad Ganpule: C/o Parshuram Pottery Works, Opp. Nazarbaug, Morbi 363642.

Due to varied coastal habitats, good given as L. fuscus barabensis by Rasmussen & Anderton (2012); numbers of large and small gulls ( Laridae ) are seen here. Since the latter authors treating both the common taxa occurring the identification of some gulls is very difficult, and there here in India as subspecies of Lesser Black-backed Gull. This are frequent taxonomic changes, there is some confusion taxonomy is based on the recommendations of Collinson et regarding the gulls seen here. This is especially true regarding al . (2008), who conducted DNA studies on these taxa and the ‘large white-headed gulls’ (Genus Larus ) group. The ‘large recommended that Heuglin’s Gull and Steppe Gull be treated white-headed gulls’ group refers to a complex of large gull as subspecies of Lesser Black-backed Gull. In the recent India species, which are challenging to identify and the taxonomic checklist v3.0, both Heuglin’s Gull and Steppe Gull are treated et al relationships within these species (and their subgroups) have as subspecies of Lesser Black-backed Gull (Praveen . 2019). been widely and vigorously debated and the authorities / In Ali & Ripley (1981), pale mantled (with pale upperparts) reference texts do not agree on their taxonomic status even gulls were assigned to L. argentatu s and dark mantled (with today.
