  • 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. Collar (2014); 2.

  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

  • Lesser Sundas Report 2008
    Lesser Sundas, Indonesia (Bali, Sumba, Timor, Flores and Komodo) 25th July – 12th August 2010 Leader: James Eaton Participants: Stefan Andersson, David Fisher, Simon Gawn, Lars Pettersen, Allan Richards, Richard Rowland, Jonas Starck Little Sumba Boobook, Sumba © James Eaton / Birdtour Asia The seldom-visited islands of the Lesser Sundas might produce a relatively small trip list of 246 species inside three weeks but this includes an impressive 68 endemics by exploring just four islands. Kicking off on Sumba we found all 12 island endemics with ease including both endemic boobooks, numerous Sumba Cockatoo and also Elegant Pitta and Chestnut-backed Thrush. Though many of Timor's endemics aren't quite so gaudy, Black-banded Flycatcher, Iris Lorikeet, Orange-banded Thrush and Timor Sparrow were all greatly admired. The long island of Flores proved the most exciting as Flores Monarch, Bare-throated Whistler, White-rumped Kingfisher and especially Flores Hawk Eagle showed exceptionally. The finale – a day trip to Komodo – lived up to expectations with a huge Komodo Dragon bounding towards us while Yellow-crested Cockatoo's screeched overhead. Elegant Pitta, Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher, Chestnut- backed and Chestnut-capped Thrushes and Black-backed Fruit Dove were just some of the other headliners. On top of all this, fine weather, tasty food and some interesting cultural diversions all added this to wonderful tour. As usual there were some twists to the tours, our first beginning immediately as our scheduled Merpati ‘Get the Feeling’ flight to Sumba was cancelled. Fortunately an earlier flight was available for us, although it meant our only birding on Bali was restricted to the hotel gardens and a small group of Java Sparrow, here relatively secure from the intense trapping for the cage-bird trade that has blighted the species throughout its native range.

  • The Effects of Heat Stress, Predation Risk and Parental Investment on Malaysian Plover Nest Return Times Following a Human Disturbance
    BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION 132 (2006) 472– 480 available at www.sciencedirect.com journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon The effects of heat stress, predation risk and parental investment on Malaysian plover nest return times following a human disturbance Mai Yasue´*, Philip Dearden Marine Protected Areas Research Group, Department of Geography, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 3050, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 3P5 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Waders leave nests and conduct distractive displays when approached by people. The time Received 6 December 2005 taken for waders to return to nests depends on numerous factors that affect the costs and Received in revised form benefits of incubation and anti-predator behavior. Understanding this trade-off may help 24 April 2006 assess the reproductive consequences of different nest return times and identify variables Accepted 30 April 2006 to consider in breeding disturbance studies. We subjected 73 Malaysian plover (Charadrius Available online 21 June 2006 peronii) nests to standardized human disturbances and an analysis of covariance was used to determine how weather, time of day, embryonic age, weeks into breeding season and Keywords: nest attendance (proportion of time adults incubated nests) influence nest return times. Human disturbance Egg temperatures were estimated using a regression model that predicted the temperature 2 Predation inside unshaded eggs from air temperature, cloud cover and time of day (r = 0.88). We Shorebird assessed the relationship between nest return times and hatch success. Plovers returned Wader to nests faster at higher modeled egg temperature (P = 0.010), in the morning (P = 0.003), Malaysian plover if they had younger clutches (P = 0.038), and if they had high nest attendance prior to the Tropical disturbance (P = 0.015).

  • 1 Systematics and Evolution of Kestrels
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47062-9 — The Kestrel David Costantini , Giacomo Dell'Omo Excerpt More Information 1 Systematics and Evolution of Kestrels 1.1 Chapter Summary The family Falconidae constitutes a group of small to medium-sized diurnal raptors whose monophyly is strongly supported. Kestrels are included in the subfamily Falconinae. There are at least 13 species that belong to the kestrel group, but recent genetic studies suggest that the number of kestrel species might be larger, possibly 16. The paleontological and molecular evidence is congruent in suggesting an evolutionary radiation of kestrels from the Late Miocene (4.0–9.8 million years ago) through the Early Pleistocene. However, the geographic area where kestrels originated and dispersed from is unclear. 1.2 Diversification of Falcons The Falconidae is a monophyletic family of diurnal birds of prey that occupy a wide variety of ecological niches and geographic regions (White et al., 1994). Three subfamilies are currently recognised and their validity is supported by both molecular and morphological data (Griffiths, 1999; Griffiths et al., 2004; Fuchs et al., 2012, 2015): (i) Falconinae (falcons, falconets and kestrels), (ii) Herpetotherinae (forest falcons Micrastur sp. and laughing falcon Herpetotheres cachinnans) and (iii) Polyborinae (caracaras) (Figure 1.1). Dickinson (2003) has recognised 11 genera and 64 species of Falconidae, but figures can vary slightly across authors. Both the Herpetotherinae and the Polyborinae occur only in the New World, while the Falconinae (the subfamily to which kestrels belong) are widespread across both the New and Old World with 46 species, 40 of which belong to the genus Falco (Fuchs et al., 2015).

  • The Avifauna of Lambusango Forest Reserve, Buton Island, South-East Sulawesi, with Additional Sightings from Southern Buton
    FORKTAIL 28 (2012): 107–112 The avifauna of Lambusango Forest Reserve, Buton Island, south-east Sulawesi, with additional sightings from southern Buton T. E. MARTIN, D. J. KELLY, N. T. KEOGH, D. HERIYADI, H. A. SINGER & G. A. BLACKBURN Lambusango Forest Reserve occupies a large area of south-central Buton, the largest attendant island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Buton is located off Sulawesi’s south-eastern peninsula and remains poorly known ornithologically. Bird surveys were undertaken in the reserve over eight eight-week long research seasons between June and August in 1999, 2001–2003, 2005, and 2008–2010. Variable radius circular- plot point counts were the primary census method, conducted as part of a long-term biodiversity monitoring programme in the reserve, although data were also collected from 840 mist-netting hours and approximately 2,560 hours of observational data. In total, 79 species were detected in the reserve, including 37 regional endemics (46.8% of the total avifaunal community) and four species considered by the IUCN to be globally threatened or Near Threatened. Additionally, a further 60 species (including two more Near Threatened species) were recorded in various habitats around southern Buton that were not detected in Lambusango Reserve, giving a total of 139 species records for the island. We believe that 51 of these species represent previously unpublished records for Buton. We present here a full account of our records from Lambusango Reserve and southern Buton, with additional details provided for threatened and Near Threatened species and new records of endemics. INTRODUCTION Lambusango Forest Reserve (5°10’–5°24’S 122°43’–123°07’E) is a 65,000 ha expanse of uninhabited tropical monsoon forest, Buton (formerly referred to as Butung) is the largest of Sulawesi’s encompassing much of south-central Buton.
