British Birds Status and Behaviour of the Tenerife Kinglet British Birds Established 1907; incorporating 'The Zoologist', established 1843 Status and behaviour of the Tenerife Kinglet Hans LohrL, Ellen Thaler and David A. Christie ABSTRACT The Tenerife Kinglet Regulus teneriffae appears to be a little-studied taxon, despite the fact that its taxonomic status has given rise to much debate. This paper summarises our knowledge of this attractive bird. Over the years, the small kinglet Regulus which is endemic to the Canary Islands has been treated both as a subspecies of the Goldcrest R. regulus (e.g. Hartert 1932-38; Bannerman 1922, 1963; Cramp 1992) and as a subspecies of the Firecrest R. ignkapittus (e.g. Seebohm 1883; Vols0e 1951; Vaurie 1954, 1959; Etchecopar & Hue 1967), the latter view being followed also, though with some reservation, by Nicolai & Wolters (1971), Mauersberger & Stubs (1971) and Niethammer & Wolters (1972). More recently, A. van Loon (in Cramp 1992) and Beaman (1994) included it as an island race of Goldcrest, though both admit that their decision is not incontrovertible, whereas Sibley & Monroe (1990) considered that these two forms were better treated as allospecies. The current treatment by British Birds (86: 1-2) follows that of Sibley & Monroe (1990), the Canary Islands species being given the English name of Tenerife Kinglet Regulus teneriffae. This view is adhered to below, but the situation is by no means fully clarified. Despite the interest in the taxonomy of this delightful little bird, very little appears to have been published on the species in the last few decades. Indeed, the only major paper of which we are aware is that by Lohrl & Thaler (1980), which detailed observations made on Tenerife and of a captive female. The present paper is largely a summary of that work. {Brit. Birds 89: 379-386, September 1996] © British Birds Ltd 1996 379 380 Lohrt, Thaler & Christie: Tenerife Kinglet General appearance The immediate impression given by Tenerife Kinglet is that of a Goldcrest, but with a broad black band on the upper forehead joining the two black stripes that border the central crown, and with narrower pale tips to the tertials. It shares with Goldcrest a prominent, very broad pale surround to the eye and does, in fact, bear little resemblance to Firecrest, lacking that species' bold pale supercilium, black eye-stripe and obvious bronzy 'shoulder' patch. Distribution The Tenerife Kinglet is restricted to the outer islands of the Canaries: Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and Hierro. It appears to be not uncommon, at least in the Anaga mountains in the northeast of Tenerife, where it occurs in the region of the former laurel (Lauraceae) forests. This area is today dominated by the tree-heaths Erica arborea and E. scoparia, which would seem to be essential for nesting purposes. It becomes rare in the pine Pinus forest, where it occurs only in areas with tree-heath. Not unexpectedly, the species appears to be wholly resident. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that a female reared in captivity demonstrated migratory restlessness, largely coinciding with the timing of autumn and spring passage periods of central European Goldcrests and Firecrests; its nocturnal unrest was less intense than that of Firecrest, but more continuous than that of Goldcrest. To what extent this single captive reflects the migratory disposition of a Tenerife Kinglet population remains to be seen. A more or less pronounced migratory disposition has, however, been confirmed also for Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla living in the same area (Berthold 1978). Voice Volsoe (1951) interpreted Lack & Southern's (1949) description of the Tenerife Kinglet's song as being typical of Firecrest, although he was probably unfamiliar with the latter's song. In playback experiments in Germany, however, Becker (1978) found that both Firecrests and Goldcrests showed little, if any, reaction to the song of Tenerife Kinglet, although Goldcrest reacted well to the kinglet's excitement call; the song was similar in structure to that of Goldcrest, though somewhat more variable. Sonagrams showed the calls of the captive female Tenerife Kinglet to be Goldcrest-like, though somewhat lower in pitch; 63 Goldcrests and 18 Firecrests showed hardly any recognisable individual variations (Thaler 1979). A clear difference exists, however, in the use of the 'short alarm-call'. This call, used very frequently by Goldcrests and Firecrests, apparently indicates low-intensity alarm when danger is not immediately threatening, and is given by both sexes in various other situations as an excitement call (Thaler 1979). In a densely occupied breeding area on Tenerife, males (apparently only males?) uttered it frequently at the start of the breeding season during territorial disputes, the call in this case probably having the function of deterring rivals ('rival-call': see Thielcke 1970). It seems that Tenerife Kinglets (especially females?) require a much stronger stimulus to utter the short alarm, which is clearly of lower threshold level in the cases of Goldcrest and Firecrest.

If nest-building takes 15-20 days (Thaler 1976), construction must have started no later than mid February, bearing in mind that building activity ceases in wet and cool weather (which at this time of the year is frequent in the breeding area). Another pair had fledged young on 7th April, which means that eggs were laid in the first few days of March. The breeding season is doubtless later at higher altitudes. As with Goldcrest, the male shares in nest-building. During 1979-80, a captive female Tenerife Kinglet paired with a male Goldcrest was observed nest-building: all building activities were typical for Goldcrest, and the male prepared most of the foundation; the rapid 'vibrating' of the material that is characteristic of Firecrest (Thaler 1976: 135) was lacking, and the nest hollow was not arched over by a rim of inward-pointing feathers. The female kinglet spent a total of 4.5 days on the lining, somewhat shorter than observed among Goldcrests (minimum 5.5 days) and Firecrests (minimum 5 days), though this may be due to the smaller clutch (five, incubation from third egg); she used only 121 feathers, whereas captive Goldcrests used at least 1,151 and captive Firecrests at least 673 feathers. Several nests, including two freshly built ones, were located on Tenerife, all suspended 4-7 m above ground in thin horizontal branches of tree-heath. Although tree-heath facilitates the construction of suspended nests in the same way as spruce Picea does, it offers little protection against rain; in addition, the nests are more visible. Completed nests are ball-shaped and, as with all Regulus nests, the entrance is at the top and not, as Bannerman (1963) suggested, at the side. Both fresh nests were collected after use. One was still fully intact, and its attachment to the branches could be examined: two stronger branches (diameter 2-5 mm) passed along the interior of the nest wall for lengths of 50 and 70 mm respectively, and a further 17 twigs barely 1 mm thick were woven more or less horizontally into the wall. Both were true 'suspended nests', ideally adapted to the growth habit of the tree-heath. In their horizontal suspension they differed clearly from Goldcrest and Firecrest nests, which (almost always) are interwoven into vertical side twigs of spruce branches (Palmgren 1932; Thaler 1976). The materials used, however, were very similar: about 80% spiders' web, moss and lichens, 5% other soft vegetable material (grass panicles, rootlets, fibres), and 15% soft lining. They were somewhat lighter (8.9 and 8.6 g) than Goldcrest or Firecrest nests, and contained fewer feathers in the lining (194 and 116 feathers, against average of 1,773 for Goldcrest and average of 618 for Firecrest), but more aerial seeds, especially long, silky thistledown. When the female was at or in the finished nest, the male often sang for 2-4 minutes at a distance of 1-3 m. The song was usually shorter than the territorial song, and always with a highly variable end section or terminal flourish. Sometimes only a few elements preceded this, so that the 'song' consisted almost wholly of the end section. For the Goldcrest, the terminal section plays a major role in 'intimate behaviour' between male and female (Becker 1976; pers. obs.). When foraging during this period, most prey captured were minute insects. On British Birds, vol. 89, no. 9, September 1996 383 one occasion, one of the kinglets spent much time searching moss-covered branches and narrow trunks in a high-lying misty area. Incubation and fledging periods During 41 minutes' observation on 18th March, incubation stints lasted for 12 and 11 minutes, with intervals of 10 and 8 minutes; and, on the foEowing day, for 3, 10, 20 and 12 minutes, with breaks of 7, 13 and 10 minutes. On 21st March, after heavy showers, the female returned very hesitantly to the sodden nest: between 10.53 and 12.05 hours, she incubated for 11 and 24 minutes, with intervals of 13, 16 and 8 minutes. During the incubation period, the male no longer sang near the nest, but always some distance away.

  • Red-Breasted Nuthatch and Golden-Crowned Kinglet
    Red-breasted Nuthatch and Golden-crowned Kinglet: The First Nests for South Carolina and Other Chattooga Records Frank Renfrow 611 South O’Fallon Avenue, Bellevue, KY 41073 [email protected] Introduction The Chattooga Recreation Area (referred to as CRA for purposes of this article), located adjacent to the Walhalla National Fish Hatchery (780 m) within Sumter National Forest, Oconee Co., South Carolina, has long been noted as a unique natural area within the state. The picnic area in particular, situated along the East Fork of the Chattooga River, contains an old-growth stand of White Pine (Pinus strobus) and Canada Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) with state records for both species as well as an impressive understory of Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and Great Laurel (Rhododendron maximum) (Gaddy 2000). Nesting birds at CRA not found outside of the northwestern corner of the state include Black-throated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) and Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). Breeding evidence of two other species of northern affinities, Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) and Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) has previously been documented at this location (Post and Gauthreaux 1989, Oberle and Forsythe 1995). However, nest records of these two species have not been documented prior to this study. The summer occurrence of two other northern species on the South Carolina side of the Chattooga River, Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) and Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) has not been previously recorded. Only a few summer records of the Blackburnian Warbler (Dendroica fusca) have been noted for the state. Extensive field observations were made by the author in the Chattooga River area of Georgia and South Carolina during the breeding seasons of 2000, 2002 and 2003 in order to verify breeding of bird species of northern affinities.

According to previous studies, the northern species, present in Europe and the Mediterranean, form a paraphyletic, basal clade, and the southern species, present in South Africa, form a robust monophyletic group. In this work a molecular phylogenetic analysis from European and from Central and South African Erica species was performed using the chloroplast regions: trnL-trnL-trnF and 5´trnK-matK , as well as the nuclear DNA marker ITS, in order i) to state the monophyly of the northern and southern species, ii) to determine the phylogenetic relationships between the species and contrasting them with previous systematic research studies and iii) to compare the results provided from nuclear data and explore possible evolutionary patterns. All species were monophyletic except for the widely spread E. arborea , and E. manipuliflora . The paraphyly of the northern species was also confirmed, but three taxa from Central East Africa were polyphyletic, suggesting different episodes of colonization of this area.

    Ruby-crowned Kinglet Regulus calendula Folk Name: Je-dit Status: Winter Resident Abundance: Fairly Common to Common Habitat: Coniferous forests or mixed hardwood forests The Ruby-crowned Kinglet averages half an inch larger than its golden-crowned cousin. It is olive green above and buffy below. It has no eye stripe, rather it has a white eye-ring. It has two white wing bars and one black. The female lacks a colorful crown, but the male has a bright ruby-red crown that is especially visible when the bird is agitated. When the male is calm, the red crown can be quite difficult to see.

  • Apparent Hybridisation of Firecrest and Goldcrest F
    Apparent hybridisation of Firecrest and Goldcrest F. K. Cobb From 20th to 29th June 1974, a male Firecrest Regulus ignicapillus was seen regularly, singing strongly but evidently without a mate, in a wood in east Suffolk. The area had not been visited for some time before 20th June, so that it is not known how long he had been present. The wood covers some 10 ha and is mainly deciduous, com­ prised of oaks Quercus robur, sycamores Acer pseudoplatanus, and silver birches Betula pendula; there is also, however, a scatter of European larches Larix decidua and Scots pines Pinus sylvestris, with an occasional Norway spruce Picea abies. Apart from the silver birches, most are mature trees. The Firecrest sang usually from any one of about a dozen Scots pines scattered over half to three-quarters of a hectare. There was also a single Norway spruce some 18-20 metres high in this area, which was sometimes used as a song post, but the bird showed no preference for it over the Scots pines. He fed mainly in the surround­ ing deciduous trees, but was never heard to sing from them. The possibility of an incubating female was considered, but, as the male showed no preference for any particular tree, this was thought unlikely. Then, on 30th June, G. J. Jobson saw the Firecrest with another Regulus in the Norway spruce and, later that day, D. J. Pearson and J. G. Rolfe watched this second bird carrying a feather in the same tree. No one obtained good views of it, but, not unnaturally, all assumed that it was a female Firecrest.

  • Heathers and Heaths
    Heathers and Heaths Heathers and heaths are easy care evergreen plants that can give year-round garden color. With careful planning, you can have varieties in bloom every month of the year. Foliage colors include shades of green, gray, gold, and bronze; some varieties change color or have colored tips in the winter or spring. Flower colors are white and shades of pink, red, and purple. Heathers make excellent companions to rhododendrons and azaleas. They are also excellent in rock gardens or on slopes. Bees love traditional heaths and heathers; however, the new bud-bloomer Scotch heathers, whose flowers are long-lasting because they don’t open completely, do not provide good bee forage, nor do the new foliage-only series. Choose other varieties if that is a consideration. Heathers grow best in neutral to slightly acid soil with good drainage. A sandy soil mixed with compost or leaf mold is ideal. Heathers bloom best in full or partial sun. Plants will grow in a shady location but will not bloom as well and tend to get leggy. They will not do well in areas of hot reflected sunlight. To plant heather, work compost into the planting area, then dig a hole at least twice the width of the rootball. Partially fill with your amended soil and place the plant at the same level it grew in the container. Excess soil over the rootball will kill the plant. For the same reason, do not mulch too deeply or allow mulch to touch the trunks. Normally a spacing of 12-30” apart is good, depending on the variety.
