    – 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig.

Between the 5th November 2007 and end of December 2008, forty- two juvenile and adult Pink Pigeons have been transferred from different sites within the park and released there, thus creating the sixth sub-population of the species. In May 2008, the first translocated birds started breeding at this site and made their first nesting attempts. On 16 September 2008, less than a year after the start of the releases, the Lower Black River Gorges celebrated its first on-site fledgling. The squab (pigeon chick) hatched on 1 September and the nest was monitored daily until the bird left the nest on the 16 September.

One in particular comes to mind… The first time I saw Condor 133, I must say I was not terribly impressed, but then again, I was about a mile away, and she was one of six newly freed condors that were only black dots high on the Ver- milion Cliff walls. Still, it was an honor to be part of the group from Liberty who were invited to attend the first release on December 12, 1996, and even though the vantage we were afforded on the floor of the valley was less than optimal for viewing, a special feeling was in the air. Dignitaries spoke first, followed by a brief ceremony by six American tribal officials welcoming the return of their brothers after an absence of nearly 8 decades. Finally the hack doors were opened and the six black dots emerged. Years passed and we heard about a few of the Arizona condors that had not survived along with several more subsequent releases, but I still never had an opportunity to see one up close, until Febru- ary 2010. The first bird brought to Liberty Wildlife for medical treatment was the last survivor of the original six to be released in Arizona - and it was Condor 133!
