  • Bird Responses to Shade Coffee Production
    Animal Conservation (2004) 7, 169–179 C 2004 The Zoological Society of London. Printed in the United Kingdom DOI:10.1017/S1367943004001258 Bird responses to shade coffee production Cesar´ Tejeda-Cruz and William J. Sutherland Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK (Received 2 June 2003; accepted 16 October 2003) Abstract It has been documented that certain types of shade coffee plantations have both biodiversity levels similar to natural forest and high concentrations of wintering migratory bird species. These findings have triggered a campaign to promote shade coffee as a means of protecting Neotropical migratory birds. Bird censuses conducted in the El Triunfo Biosphere reserve in southern Mexico have confirmed that shade coffee plantations may have bird diversity levels similar to, or higher than, natural forest. However, coffee and forest differed in species composition. Species with a high sensitivity to disturbance were significantly more diverse and abundant in primary ecosystems. Neotropical migratory birds, granivorous and omnivorous species were more abundant in disturbed habitats. Insectivorous bird species were less abundant only in shaded monoculture. Foraging generalists and species that prefer the upper foraging stratum were more abundant in disturbed habitats, while a decline in low and middle strata foragers was found there. Findings suggests that shade coffee may be beneficial for generalist species (including several migratory species), but poor for forest specialists. Although shade coffee plantations may play an important role in maintaining local biodiversity, and as buffer areas for forest patches, promotion of shade coffee may lead to the transformation of forest into shade coffee, with the consequent loss of forest species.

    Tropical Birding Trip Report Costa Rica: The Introtour | July 2017 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour Costa Rica: The Introtour July 15 – 25, 2017 Tour Leader: Scott Olmstead INTRODUCTION This year’s July departure of the Costa Rica Introtour had great luck with many of the most spectacular, emblematic birds of Central America like Resplendent Quetzal (photo right), Three-wattled Bellbird, Great Green and Scarlet Macaws, and Keel-billed Toucan, as well as some excellent rarities like Black Hawk- Eagle, Ochraceous Pewee and Azure-hooded Jay. We enjoyed great weather for birding, with almost no morning rain throughout the trip, and just a few delightful afternoon and evening showers. Comfortable accommodations, iconic landscapes, abundant, delicious meals, and our charismatic driver Luís enhanced our time in the field. Our group, made up of a mix of first- timers to the tropics and more seasoned tropical birders, got along wonderfully, with some spying their first-ever toucans, motmots, puffbirds, etc. on this trip, and others ticking off regional endemics and hard-to-get species. We were fortunate to have several high-quality mammal sightings, including three monkey species, Derby’s Wooly Opossum, Northern Tamandua, and Tayra.

  • Molt and Age Determination in Western and Yellowish Flycatchers
    MOLT AND AGE DETERMINATION IN WESTERN AND YELLOWISH FLYCATCHERS N•D K. Jo•so• T•N years ago I presenteda review of researchon molts in tyrannid flycatchersof the genusEmpidonax, in a paper that includedoriginal data for five species(Johnson 1963b). Since that time very little has beenpublished on this aspectof the biologyof theseflycatchers, although Mumford (1964: 46) and Traylor (1968) have added new details to data availablefor the AcadianFlycatcher (Empidonaxvirescens). In the presentpaper I describemolt patternsand criteria for determin- ing age in two close relatives in the genus Empidonax, the Western Flycatcher (E. difficilis) and the YellowishFlycatcher (E. fiavescens). The molts of thesespecies have not been studiedpreviously in any de- tail. This work was undertakento gatherbackground information neces- sary for the proper interpretation of size variation in a systematic analysisof this difficult group (JohnsonMS). Finally I considerpat- terns and progressof cranial developmentin these flycatchers and of- fer a new hypothesisto explain retardedpneumatization of the skull roof in birds. MATERIALS AND METgODS Approximately 2,100 specimensof both species,representing all seasonsand areas of geographicoccurrence, were examined carefully under a magnifying lamp for evidence of molt and to determine degrees of plumage wear. Study was facilitated by the concurrentuse of a strong microscopelamp to illuminate feather bases while rows of feathers were parted with a dissecting needle. Molt stages used are the same as those defined for Empidonax hammondi• (Johnson 1963a: 124-128). For the Western Flycatcher, emphasisis on E. d. difficilis, the form for which sufficient samples are available. Most migrating and wintering examples of the nominate race may be separated by features of size and coloration from resident Mexican forms of the species(Johnson MS).

My research focused on understanding the contribution of different agricultural land uses and a forest fragment to bird conservation in a Costa Rican landscape.
