The following Technical Committee meetings were devoted in part or total to working on the Bird Conservation Plan: Tucson, June 11-12, 2004; Guaymas, October 19-20, 2004; Tucson, January 26-27, 2005; El Palmito, June 2-3, 2005, and Tucson, October 27-29, 2005. Another major contribution to the planning process was the completion of the first round of the northwest Mexico Species Assessment Process on May 10-14, 2004. Without the data contributed and generated by those participants we would not have been able to successfully assess and prioritize all bird species in the SJV area. Writing the Conservation Plan was truly a group effort of many people representing a variety of agencies, NGOs, and universities. Primary contributors are recognized at the beginning of each regional chapter in which they participated. The following agencies and organizations were involved in the plan: Arizona Game and Fish Department, Audubon Arizona, Centro de Investigación Cientifica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE), Centro de Investigación de Alimentación y Desarrollo (CIAD), Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP), Instituto del Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo (IMADES), PRBO Conservation Science, Pronatura Noroeste, Proyecto Corredor Colibrí, Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT), Sonoran Institute, The Hummingbird Monitoring Network, Tucson Audubon Society, U.S.

  • Birdlife in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve Mexico
    Birdlife in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Mexico "Come and find the feathered treasures of the Sierra Madre" Illustrations by Dana Gardner www.sierragordaecotours.com Introduction The Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, which occupies the northern third of the State of Querétaro, stands out in Mexico, a megadiverse country, as its most ecosystem-diverse protected area. From the oldest semi-desert in the country, enduring for around 65 million years, to the coniferous forests inhabiting the highest ridges of the mountains, life flourishes here. The extraordinary richness in its oak forests, tropical forests, riparian forests along the rivers, and the ever shady cloud forests are all part of our rich natural heritage. All of this houses 2,310 species of vascular plants, 110 mammal species including the majestic jaguar, 134 reptile and amphibian species, one third of the Mexican butter- flies with 800 species, and amongst them a trove of 343 birds that include several endemic and highly threatened species. Itinerary Arrival to Mexico City or Querétaro City, the state capital depending on your chosen flight. 1st day You will meet early with Sierra Gorda Ecotours staff to begin the trip to Sierra Gorda. We will have breakfast at the Magic Town (Pueblo Mágico) of Bernal and continue our route to Pinal de Amoles, a town within the Sierra Gorda. We will head to the community of Cuatro Palos and walk to the lookout point of the Cerro de la Media Luna, a winding path between ancient oak trees to the 2,700 meter high peak. The spectacular landscape is a product of the unique location, and one of the most extraordinary sights of the Sierra Gorda where one can see the transition from the semi-desert to temperate forests.

  • The Diets of Neotropical Trogons, Motmots, Barbets and Toucans
    The Condor 95:178-192 0 The Cooper Ornithological Society 1993 THE DIETS OF NEOTROPICAL TROGONS, MOTMOTS, BARBETS AND TOUCANS J. V. REMSEN, JR., MARY ANN HYDE~ AND ANGELA CHAPMAN Museum of Natural Scienceand Department of Zoology and Physiology, Louisiana State University,Baton Rouge, LA. 70803 Abstract. Although membership in broad diet categoriesis a standardfeature of community analysesof Neotropical birds, the bases for assignmentsto diet categoriesare usually not stated, or they are derived from anecdotal information or bill shape. We used notations of stomachcontents on museum specimenlabels to assessmembership in broad diet categories (“fruit only,” “ arthropods only,” and “fruit and arthropods”) for speciesof four families of birds in the Neotropics usually consideredto have a mixed diet of fruit and animal matter: trogons (Trogonidae), motmots (Momotidae), New World barbets (Capitonidae), and tou- cans (Ramphastidae). An assessmentof the accuracyof label data by direct comparison to independentmicroscopic analysis of actual stomachcontents of the same specimensshowed that label notations were remarkably accurate.The specimen label data for 246 individuals of 17 speciesof Trogonidae showed that quetzals (Pharomachrus)differ significantly from other trogons (Trogon) in being more fiugivorous. Significant differences in degree of fru- givory were found among various Trogonspecies. Within the Trogonidae, degreeof frugivory is strongly correlated with body size, the larger speciesbeing more frugivorous. The more frugivorous quetzals (Pharomachrus)have relatively flatter bills than other trogons, in ac- cordancewith predictions concerningmorphology of frugivores;otherwise, bill morphology correlated poorly with degree of fiugivory. An analysis of label data from 124 individuals of six speciesof motmots showed that one species(Electron platyrhynchum)is highly in- sectivorous,differing significantlyfrom two others that are more frugivorous(Baryphthengus martii and Momotus momota).

  • Life History of the Black-Throated Trogon
    LIFE HISTORY OF THE BLACK-THROATED TROGON BY ALEXANDER F. SKUTCH N Barro Colorado Island in Gatlin Lake, in the middle of the Isthmus of 0 Panama, I found my first twTo nests of the Black-throated Trogon (Trogon rufus) , in 1935. Both were destroyed by predators before the eggs hatched. Four years later, in the Valley of El General in southern Costa Rica, I found my third nest, which met a similar fate. In most of the succeeding years I have studied birds in the same region, where these trogons are not uncommon, and I have encountered five additional nests. With the exception of one which I did not see until the young were almost feathered, only the last was successful. This was situated on our farm in El General in April, 1958, and enabled me to round out a study begun 23 years earlier. The present paper is, then, a report of observations gathered over nearly a quarter of a century. The slowness of their accumulation is to be attributed to the diffi- culty of finding the nests of the majority of the birds that dwell in tropical rain-forest, and the discouragingly small proportion of these nests that yield living young. APPEARANCE AND RANGE One of the smaller members of its family, the Black-throated Trogon has a total length of about nine inches, of which well over half is accounted for by its long tail. The males’ predominant color is bright metallic green, which covers all the upper surface of head and body and likewise the chest.

    British Columbia Field Ornithologists’Bird Records Committee – Review List – 31 December 2019 The sequence of birds on this list follows the 7th edition of the A.O.U. Check-List of North American Birds and updates through to the 60th supplement. The BC Bird Records Committee solicits information on the following 174 species on the Review List, as well as species unrecorded in the province. In general, review species average two or fewer occurrences per year over the past ten year period. There are a few cases where species may exceed this threshold, but are included so that we can get a better idea of occurrence in the province. Documentation should be submitted to the BCBRC via the online report submission form at https://bcfo.ca/ review-list/ or via email to bcbrc.chair AT gmail DOT com Note: This review list will be updated periodically as new species are added to the Provincial Main and/or Provisional lists, as our understanding of annual occurences increases, and as taxonomy changes.
