Order CHARADRIIFORMES: Waders, Gulls and Terns Suborder LARI Text extracted from Gill B.J.; Bell, B.D.; Chambers, G.K.; Medway, D.G.; Palma, R.L.; Scofield, R.P.; Tennyson, A.J.D.; Worthy, T.H. 2010. Checklist of the birds of New Zealand, Norfolk and Macquarie Islands, and the Ross Dependency, Antarctica. 4th edition. Wellington, Te Papa Press and Ornithological Society of New Zealand. Pages 191, 223, 230 & 234-235. Order CHARADRIIFORMES: Waders, Gulls and Terns The family sequence of Christidis & Boles (1994), who adopted that of Sibley et al. (1988) and Sibley & Monroe (1990), is followed here. Suborder LARI: Skuas, Gulls, Terns and Skimmers Condon (1975) and Checklist Committee (1990) recognised three subfamilies within the Laridae (Larinae, Sterninae and Megalopterinae) but this division has not been widely adopted. We follow Gochfeld & Burger (1996) in recognising gulls in one family (Laridae) and terns and noddies in another (Sternidae). The sequence of species for Stercorariidae and Laridae follows Peters (1934) and for Sternidae follows Bridge et al. (2005). Family STERNIDAE Bonaparte: Terns and Noddies Sterninae Bonaparte, 1838: Geogr. Comp. List. Birds: 61 – Type genus Sterna Linnaeus, 1758. Most recommendations from a new study of tern and noddy relationships, based on mtDNA (Bridge et al. 2005), have already been adopted by the Taxonomic Subcommittee of the British Ornithologists’ Union Records Committee (Sangster et al. 2005) and the American Ornithologists’ Union Committee on Classification and Nomenclature (Banks, R.C. et al. 2006). This follows many years of disagreement about the generic classification of terns for which 3–12 genera have recently been used (see Bridge et al. 2005). The genera and their sequence recommended by Bridge et al. (2005) are accepted here, with the exception that we place the crested tern in Sterna rather than Thalasseus, because the evidence for the latter association is weaker (Sangster et al. 2005). Genus Onychoprion Onychoprion Wagler, 1832: Isis von Oken, Heft 2: col. 277 – Type species (by monotypy) Sterna serrata J.R. Forster = Onychoprion fuscatus serratus (J.R. Forster). The gender of the genus Onychoprion is masculine, therefore, according to Article 30.1.2 of ICZN (1999), the species and subspecies names for New Zealand taxa should be O. fuscatus serratus and O. anaethetus. Onychoprion fuscatus (Linnaeus) Sooty Tern Sterna fuscata Linnaeus, 1766: Syst. Nat., 12th edition 1: 228 – Santo Domingo, West Indies. Anous fuscatus (Linnaeus); G.R. Gray 1846, Gen.

Circumtropical, ranging widely over subtropical seas and sometimes, under stress, into temperate waters. Several subspecies have been described and the number accepted varies among authors; the differences between the subspecies are slight, involving coloration of underparts and measurements; the status of all need re-examination (Higgins & Davies 1996). Although the race O. f. serratus is supposedly confined to breeding around Australia and in the South Pacific (Higgins & Davies 1996), a chick banded at the Kermadec Islands has been found breeding at the Seychelles, Indian Ocean (Cossee 1995), where the supposed race O. f. nubilosus (Sparrman, 1788) breeds (Higgins & Davies 1996).

Breeds abundantly in the south-west Pacific, including at Norfolk and Kermadec Islands. Strays to the North Island probably annually, often after storms (Turbott 1952, Jenkins 1962, Powlesland & Powlesland 1994a, Higgins & Davies 1996) and south to Foveaux Strait (Cooper 1991). An exceptional sighting was of at least 13 alive on 27 Jul. 1986 at Pakiri Beach (Fennell 1987). A few fossils have been found in Norfolk Island dunes and on Nepean Island, Norfolk Island Group (Meredith 1985b, 1991). .

  • LEAST TERN Scientific Name: Sternula Antillarum Lesson Other
    Common Name: LEAST TERN Scientific Name: Sternula antillarum Lesson Other Commonly Used Names: Little tern, silver turnlet, sea swallow, minute tern, little striker, and killing peter Previously Used Names: Sterna antillarum Family: Laridae Rarity Ranks: G4/S3 State Legal Status: Rare Federal Legal Status: Interior population listed as endangered. Other populations are not federally listed. Federal Wetland Status: N/A Description: Georgia's smallest tern at about 23 cm (9 in) in length with a 50 cm (20 in) wingspread, the least tern is white with pale gray feathers on the back and upper surfaces of the wings, except for a narrow black stripe along the leading edge of the upper wing feathers. The least tern has a black cap with a small patch of white on the forehead. In summer, the adult has a yellow bill with a black tip and yellow to orange feet and legs. Its tail is deeply forked. In winter, the bill, legs and feet are black. The juvenile has a black bill and yellow legs, and the feathers of the back have dark margins, giving the bird a distinctly "scaled" appearance. The least tern's small size, white forehead, and yellow bill serve to distinguish it from other terns. Similar Species: The adult sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) is the most similar species to the adult least tern, but is much larger at about 38 cm (15 in) in length and has a black bill with a pale (usually yellow) tip and black legs. Juvenile least terns and sandwich terns look very similar in appearance.

Six of these species have known breed· ing populations in the state; the Rjng~hilled Gull (Lams delalkuren.sis), Califomia Gull (Larm colifamicus), Herring Gull (Lams argentatus), Caspian Tern {Sterna caspia), Forster's Tern (Stemaforsteri), and Black Tern (Chlidonias niger). Of these species, the California Cull is the most abundant and widespread. In 1984 approximately 1300 nests existed in \Vyoming at six breeding locations consisting of 10 different colonies. In contrast, only smllll breeding populations have been discovered for the remaining five species. The Herring Gull is the most recent addition among Laridae known to nest in Wyoming.

  • Predator and Competitor Management Plan for Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge
    Appendix J /USFWS Malcolm Grant 2011 Fencing exclosure to protect shorebirds from predators Predator and Competitor Management Plan for Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge Background and Introduction Background and Introduction Throughout North America, the presence of a single mammalian predator (e.g., coyote, skunk, and raccoon) or avian predator (e.g., great horned owl, black-crowned night-heron) at a nesting site can result in adult bird mortality, decrease or prevent reproductive success of nesting birds, or cause birds to abandon a nesting site entirely (Butchko and Small 1992, Kress and Hall 2004, Hall and Kress 2008, Nisbet and Welton 1984, USDA 2011). Depredation events and competition with other species for nesting space in one year can also limit the distribution and abundance of breeding birds in following years (USDA 2011, Nisbet 1975). Predator and competitor management on Monomoy refuge is essential to promoting and protecting rare and endangered beach nesting birds at this site, and has been incorporated into annual management plans for several decades. In 2000, the Service extended the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge Nesting Season Operating Procedure, Monitoring Protocols, and Competitor/Predator Management Plan, 1998-2000, which was expiring, with the intent to revise and update the plan as part of the CCP process. This appendix fulfills that intent. As presented in chapter 3, all proposed alternatives include an active and adaptive predator and competitor management program, but our preferred alternative is most inclusive and will provide the greatest level of protection and benefit for all species of conservation concern. The option to discontinue the management program was considered but eliminated due to the affirmative responsibility the Service has to protect federally listed threatened and endangered species and migratory birds.

    99 PRIMARY MOULT, BODY MASS AND MOULT MIGRATION OF LITTLE TERN STERNAALBIFRONS IN NE ITALY GIUSEPPE CHERUBINI, LORENZO SERRA & NICOLA BACCETTI Cherubini G., L. Serra & N. Baccetti 1996. Primary moult, body mass and moult migration of Little Tern Sterna albifrons in NE Italy. Ardea 84: 99­ 114. Large post-breeding gatherings of Little Terns Sterna albifrons are regu­ larly observed in the Lagoon of Venice, Italy. Here, during five consecutive \ 1/ trapping seasons, 2956 birds were examined and ringed. Their breeding area, as indicated by 163 direct recoveries (mainly juveniles, ringed as chicks), spans over a broad sector of the Adriatic coasts, with colonies lo­ cated up to 133 km far. During their stay at the study area, adults undergo an almost complete moult. Two partial primary moult cycles can be ob­ \ served, the first of them being suspended when 2-4 outermost long primar­ ies have not yet been shed. Pre-migratory body mass build-up, enough for a ~/ flight longer than 1000 km, takes place during the very last days before de­ parture to the winter quarters, in most cases when the moult has reached a I suspended stage. Active primary moult and body mass increase do overlap in late moulting birds (after 27 August), indicating that the two processes are compatible, in case of time shortage. Post-breeding movements to the Lagoon of Venice seem to fit most requisites of moult migration. Key words: Sterna albifrons - Italy - biometrics - moult migration - ringing - fattening Istituto Nazionale per la Fauna Selvatica, via Ca' Fornacetta 9,1-40064 Oz­ zano Emilia BO, Italy.
