  • Widely Distributed Breeding Populations of Canada Warbler (Cardellina Canadensis) Converge on Migration Through Central America A
    Roberto-Charron et al. BMC Zoology (2020) 5:10 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40850-020-00056-4 BMC Zoology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Widely distributed breeding populations of Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) converge on migration through Central America A. Roberto-Charron1* , J. Kennedy2, L. Reitsma3, J. A. Tremblay4,5, R. Krikun6, K. A. Hobson7, J. Ibarzabal5 and K. C. Fraser1 Abstract Background: To effectively conserve migratory species, the entire range encompassed by their annual life cycle needs to be considered. Most research on Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds has focused on the breeding grounds resulting in a general lack of knowledge regarding the wintering and migratory periods. The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) has declined by 71% from 1970 to 2012, at a rate of 2.9% per year, and is listed as Threatened in Canada. As with most Nearctic-Neotropical migrants, conservation efforts outside the breeding range are limited by a poor understanding of migration routes and the connectivity between specific breeding and wintering populations. Results: To determine migratory routes of multiple breeding populations of Canada Warblers, we directly-tracked individuals using light-level geolocators deployed at four sites across the breeding range, spanning approximately 43 degrees in longitude (Alberta, Manitoba and Québec, Canada, and New Hampshire, USA). Twenty-five geolocators with usable data were recovered from three sites and were analyzed using FlightR to determine fall migration routes (n = 18) and individual wintering sites (n = 25). Individuals from all breeding populations took a western fall migration route at the Gulf of Mexico; with 77.8% of birds funnelling into a narrow geographic space along the western side of the Gulf of Mexico (97°W-99°W).

  • 111 Historical Notes on Whooping Cranes at White
    HISTORICAL NOTES ON WHOOPING CRANES AT WHITE LAKE, LOUISIANA: THE JOHN J. LYNCH INTERVIEWS, 1947-1948 GAY M. GOMEZ, Department of Social Sciences, McNeese State University, Box 92335, Lake Charles, LA 70609, USA RODERICK C. DREWIEN, Hornocker Wildlife Institute, University of Idaho, 3346 E 200 N, Rigby, ID 83442, USA MARY LYNCH COURVILLE, John J. Lynch American Natural Heritage Park, 1393 Henderson Highway, Breaux Bridge, LA 70517, USA Abstract: In May 1939 biologist John J. Lynch of the U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey conducted an aerial survey that documented the existence of a non-migratory population of whooping cranes (Grus americana) near White Lake in southwest Louisiana. Lynch found 13 cranes, including 2 pre-fledged young, confirming breeding. Lynch’s survey occurred, in part, because fur trappers and alligator hunters working in the White Lake marshes had informed the biologist of the cranes’ presence and habits. Lynch con- tinued his contacts with these knowledgeable marsh users, and in 1947 and 1948 interviewed at least 7 individuals. In 2001, M. L. Courville, along with her sister Nora Z. Lynch, discovered the interview notes among their father’s papers. The notes contain information on the Louisiana non-migratory population’s range, abundance, habitat use, feeding behavior, nesting, and young, including survival of twins; they also include a small amount of information on sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) and migratory whooping cranes. Both Lynch and Robert P. Allen relied heavily on this “traditional ecological knowledge” in their accounts of non-migratory whooping cranes in southwest Louisiana. Because of their biological and historical significance, the interview notes are reproduced in this paper.

  • 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.

    The Condor 89~282-292 0 The Cooper Omithologml Society 1987 A DESCRIPTION OF MIXED-SPECIES INSECTIVOROUS BIRD FLOCKS IN WESTERN MEXICO’ RICHARD L. HUTTO Department of Zoology, Universityof Montana, Missoula, MT 59812 Abstract. Insectivorousbird flockswere observed in all typesof forestedhabitats during the nonbreedingseason in westernMexico. The speciescomposition of flockschanged markedlyand predictablyamong five categoriesof habitat type. The averagenumber of speciesper flockin lowlandhabitats was 4.7, while a mean of 18.6 speciesparticipated in highlandflocks, ranking the latter amongthe most species-richflocks in the world. The meanproportion of the localinsectivorous species that participatedin mixed-speciesflocks wassignificantly greater in the highlands(6 1.3%)than in the lowlands(24.6%). About half of the flock participantsin both undisturbedlowland and highlandhabitats were north temperatemigrants, ranking west Mexican flocks among the mostmigrant-rich in the world as well. In highlandflocks, the maximum numberof individualsper attendantspecies was generallytwo to three,but therewere often six to twelveindividuals belonging to eachof severalnuclear species. The lowlanddeciduous forest flocks seemed to lack nuclearspecies. Key words: Mixed-speciesflocks; insectivorousbirds; Mexico; migratory birds;pine-oak woodlands;tropical deciduous forests. INTRODUCTION mixed-speciesflocks in 26 sites(Appendix I) that Mixed-speciesinsectivorous bird flockshave been were distributed among various habitats described from temperate and tropical areas throughout western Mexico. The habitat types worldwide (Rand 1954), and are known to occur that I surveyed can be roughly classified (after in practically every habitat type (Powell 1985). Pesman 1962) as belonging to either lowland Although mixed-species flocks are quite com- (tropical deciduous and tropical evergreen) or mon in north temperate regions during the non- highland (oak, pine-oak, and boreal) forests.
