CommonSnipe Gallinago gallinago is a commonand widespread breeding wader species in mostof theUkraine, except for thesouthern regions. The main winter grounds of theEuropean population aresituated in thesouthern part of westernEurope and in NorthernAfrica (Gladkov 1951; Kistyakivsky1957; Baumanis 1985). MostEuropean ring recoveriesare from areassituated south of the +2•Cisotherm (Glutz von Blotzheim1977). Because of this,knowledge about the migratory routesand migration phenology of CommonSnipe is limited. V.V.Serebryakov & V.N.

  • Bird Studies Overview
    Chapter 7. Bird Studies Overview teigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge provides a variety of habitats for many species of birds. Thousands of breeding birds rely on the resources of the refuge to Srest, eat, and raise their young. In addition, the refuge supports wetlands that are vital to the survival of migratory birds. The activities that follow offer an excellent opportunity for students to learn about and to observe the different species of birds — their behaviors and adaptations to the habitats on the refuge. Background The actively managed refuge wetlands and grasslands, when combined with the natural floodplain vegetative communities, provide habitat that supports over 200 species of birds. Hundreds of thousands of birds migrate along the lower Columbia River every year. The refuge hosts thousands of migratory birds that fly thousands of miles from their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada and Alaska to their wintering grounds in Baja California or South America, a route known as the Pacific Flyway. The few remaining areas of wetland habitat along the lower Columbia River are vital to the flyway. Some birds spend their winter on refuge wetlands, returning north to nest; some nest here but migrate to milder climates in the south for the winter; and some do not migrate at all but remain in the area as permanent residents. Several of the songbirds found in the summer spend our winters in Central and South America, migrating thousands of miles annually between their summer and winter habitats. Birds using the refuge are specifically adapted to the type of food they eat and the type of habitat they occupy (open water, freshwater wetland, field, riparian woodland, or upland woodland).

    Conservation Evidence (2006) 3, 79-80 www.ConservationEvidence.com The effectiveness of opening up rush patches on encouraging breeding common snipe Gallinago gallinago at Rogersceugh Farm, Campfield Marsh RSPB reserve, Cumbria, England Holton N. & Allcorn R.I. Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2GL, UK SUMMARY An area of improved grassland was dominated by rushes Juncus spp. and purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea . In order to try and attract breeding common snipe Gallinago gallinago , the rush was cut in 2003 with tractor mounted mowers and then grazed. In addition, 18 small scrapes were dug and higher water levels were maintained. The number of snipe increased from one nesting pair in 2003 to 11 nesting pairs in both 2004 and 2005. BACKGROUND Throughout the UK, common snipe Gallinago gallinago are undergoing a large population decline of between 25-49% in both breeding population and range over the last 25 years. Snipe feed by probing for invertebrates deep in soft, damp soil using their long bills. They also require wet marshy grassland areas with tussocks of taller vegetation for nesting. ACTION Figure 1 . All the rush on the improved grassland was cut with tractor mounted mowers. Study site: Rogersceugh Farm in Cumbria, north-west England, is a traditionally managed farm incorporating approximately 60 ha of waist high rush Juncus spp. and purple moor- reclaimed peatland. The RSPB purchased the grass Molinia caerulea . A breeding wader farm in order to raise water levels on the survey was carried out in 2003 prior to the adjacent raised mire whilst at the same time purchase of the farm by the RSPB.

Murphy DESCRIPTION Photograph by SC DNR Taxonomy and Basic Description The migratory shorebird guild is composed of birds in the Charadrii suborder. Migrants in South Carolina represent three families: Scolopacidae (sandpipers), Charadriidae (plovers) and Recurvirostridae (avocets). Sandpipers are the most diverse family of shorebirds. Their tactile foraging strategy encompasses probing in soft mud or sand for invertebrates. Plovers are medium size birds, with relatively short, thick bills and employ a distinctive foraging strategy. They stand, looking for prey and then run to feed on detected invertebrates. Avocets are large shorebirds with long recurved bills and partial webbing between the toes. They feed employing both tactile and visual methods. Shorebirds are characterized by long legs for wading and wings designed for quick flight and transcontinental migrations. Migrations can span continents; for example, red knots migrate from the Canadian arctic to the southern tip of South America.
