  • 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.

Braun^ '^ Institute of Zoology, University of Greifswald, Vogelwarte Hiddensee, D-18565 Kloster, Germany Department of Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 4210 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD 20746, USA Received 19 March 2004; revised 21 September 2004 Available online 24 December 2004 Abstract The phylogeny of the tribe Aquilini (eagles with fully feathered tarsi) was investigated using 4.2 kb of DNA sequence of one mito- chondrial (cyt b) and three nuclear loci (RAG-1 coding region, LDH intron 3, and adenylate-kinase intron 5). Phylogenetic signal was highly congruent and complementary between mtDNA and nuclear genes. In addition to single-nucleotide variation, shared deletions in nuclear introns supported one basal and two peripheral clades within the Aquilini. Monophyly of the Aquilini relative to other birds of prey was confirmed. However, all polytypic genera within the tribe, Spizaetus, Aquila, Hieraaetus, turned out to be non-monophyletic. Old World Spizaetus and Stephanoaetus together appear to be the sister group of the rest of the Aquilini. Spiza- stur melanoleucus and Oroaetus isidori axe nested among the New World Spizaetus species and should be merged with that genus. The Old World 'Spizaetus' species should be assigned to the genus Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836). The sister species of the two spotted eagles (Aquila clanga and Aquila pomarina) is the African Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis).

  • Estimations Relative to Birds of Prey in Captivity in the United States of America
    ESTIMATIONS RELATIVE TO BIRDS OF PREY IN CAPTIVITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Roger Thacker Department of Animal Laboratories The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210 Introduction. Counts relating to birds of prey in captivity have been accomplished in some European countries; how- ever, to the knowledge of this author no such information is available in the United States of America. The following paper consistsof data related to this subject collected during 1969-1970 from surveys carried out in many different direc- tions within this country. Methods. In an attempt to obtain as clear a picture as pos- sible, counts were divided into specific areas: Research, Zoo- logical, Falconry, and Pet Holders. It became obvious as the project advanced that in some casesthere was overlap from one area to another; an example of this being a falconer working with a bird both for falconry and research purposes. In some instances such as this, the author has used his own judgment in placing birds in specific categories; in other in- stances received information has been used for this purpose. It has also become clear during this project that a count of "pets" is very difficult to obtain. Lack of interest, non-coop- eration, or no available information from animal sales firms makes the task very difficult, as unfortunately, to obtain a clear dispersal picture it is from such sourcesthat informa- tion must be gleaned. However, data related to the importa- tion of birds' of prey as recorded by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife is included, and it is felt some observa- tions can be made from these figures.

  • Sun Parakeet Birding Tour
    Leon Moore Nature Experience – Sun Parakeet Birding Tour Guyana is a small English-speaking country located on the Atlantic Coast of South America, east of Venezuela and west of Suriname. Deserving of its reputation as one of the top birding and wildlife destinations in South America, Guyana’s pristine habitats stretch from the protected shell beach and mangrove forest along the northern coast, across the vast untouched rainforest of the interior, to the wide open savannah of the Rupununi in the south. Guyana hosts more than 850 different species of birds covering over 70 families. Perhaps the biggest attraction is the 45+ Guianan Shield endemic species that are more easily seen here than any other country in South America. These sought-after near-endemic species include everything from the ridiculous to the sublime - from the outrageous Capuchinbird with a bizarre voice unlike any other avian species to the unbelievably stunning Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock. While the majestic Harpy Eagle is on everyone’s “must-see” list, other species are not to be overlooked, such as Rufous-throated, White-plumed and Wing-barred Antbirds, Gray-winged Trumpeter, Rufous-winged Ground Cuckoo, Blood-colored Woodpecker, Rufous Crab-Hawk, Guianan Red-Cotinga, White-winged Potoo, Black Curassow, Sun Parakeet, Red Siskin, Rio-Branco Antbird, and the Dusky Purpletuft. These are just a few of the many spectacular birding highlights that can be seen in this amazing country. Not only is Guyana a remarkable birding destination, but it also offers tourists the opportunity to observe many other unique fauna. The elusive Jaguar can sometimes be seen along trails and roadways.

  • On the Uniqueness of Color Patterns in Raptor Feathers
    J. Raptor Res. 43(1):11–26 E 2009 The Raptor Research Foundation, Inc. ON THE UNIQUENESS OF COLOR PATTERNS IN RAPTOR FEATHERS DAVID H. ELLIS1 USGS Southwest Biological Science Center, Sonoran Desert Research Station, 1110 E. South Campus Drive, Room 119, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 U.S.A. ABSTRACT.—For this study, I compared sequentially molted feathers for a few captive raptors from year to year and symmetrically matched feathers (left/right pairs) for many raptors to see if color patterns of sequential feather pairs were identical or if symmetrical pairs were mirror-image identical. Feather pairs were found to be identical only when without color pattern (e.g., the all-white rectrices of Bald Eagles [Haliaeetus leucocephalus]). Complex patterns were not closely matched, but some simple patterns were sometimes closely matched, although not identical. Previous claims that complex color patterns in feather pairs are fingerprint-identical (and therefore that molted feathers from wild raptors can be used to identify breeding adults from year to year with certainty) were found to be untrue: each feather is unique. Although it is unwise to be certain of bird of origin using normal feathers, abnormal feathers can often be so used. KEY WORDS: Aquila chrysaetos; Golden Eagle; color pattern; feather; molt; plumage; symmetry. SOBRE EL CARA´ CTER U´ NICO DE LOS PATRONES DE COLOR DE LAS PLUMAS DE LAS RAPACES RESUMEN.—En este estudio, compare´ plumas mudadas secuencialmente de an˜o aan˜o en algunas rapaces en cautiverio y plumas asociadas sime´tricamente (pares izquierda/derecha) de varias especies de aves rapaces, para determinar si los patrones de color de pares de plumas secuenciales eran ide´nticos y si los pares de plumas sime´tricas eran ima´genes especulares.

  • Mimicry in Birds of Prey Published 4 April 2013
    Brazilian raptors (Online publications) www.avesderapinabrasil.com Mimicry in birds of prey Published 4 April 2013 Juvenile Grey-headed Kite (Leptodon cayanensis) with a plumage pattern that imitates almost perfectly an Ornate Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus). Belterra (Pará), March 2013. Photo: Eleonora Pinheiro Willian Menq 1 Email: [email protected] Translated by Johan Ingels. Mimicry in birds of prey is impressive although uncommon. Some predators use mimicry as a hunting strategy. This is the case with the Zone-tailed Hawk (Buteo albonotatus) which imitates the inoffensive vultures of the genus Cathartes to approach prey (Peckhamian mimicry). But a mimic that mimics another more dangerous species, seems to be the most common type of mimicry among hawks in Brazil. So, the Rufous-thighed Kite (Harpagus diodon) which has a predominantly insectivorous diet mimics a Bicoloured Hawk (Accipiter bicolor) which mostly hunts birds. Other species of raptors only utilise mimicry as a juvenile, which is the case with the Grey- bellied Hawk (Accipiter poliogaster) and the Grey-headed Kite (Leptodon cayanensis). The juvenile plumage of the Grey-bellied Hawk is very similar to the adult plumage of the Ornate Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus), possibly as a defense against other hawks and large primates that could prey on its nest. The juvenile Grey-headed Kites are highly polymorphic, presenting diverse plumage patterns. There are totally white individuals that mimic the Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus melanoleucus), others are almost completely black resembling a Black Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus tyrannus), and there are some rare intermediate forms that have little 1 MENQ, W.
