  • Growth Patterns of Hawaiian Stilt Chicks
    Wilson Bull., 11 l(4), 1999, pp. 478487 GROWTH PATTERNS OF HAWAIIAN STILT CHICKS J. MICHAEL REED,,2,8‘ ELIZABETH M. GRAY,334 DIANNE LEWIS3 LEWIS W. ORING,3 RICHARD COLEMAN,5 TIMOTHY BURR,6 AND PETER LUSCOMB7 ABSTRACT-We studied chick growth and plumage patterns in the endangered Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni). Body mass of captive chicks closely fit a Gompertz growth curve, revealing a growth coefficient (K) of 0.065 day- ’ and point of inflection (T) of 17 days. When chicks fledged about 28 days after hatching, they weighed only 60% of adult body mass; at 42 d, birds still were only 75% of adult mass; culmen, tarsus, and wing chord at fledging also were less than adult size. This trend of continued growth to adult size after fledging is typical for most shorebirds. After hatching, captive chicks grew more rapidly than wild chicks, probably because of an unlimited food supply. We found no evidence for adverse effects of weather on the growth of wild chicks. As with other shorebirds, the tarsus started relatively long, with culmen and then wing chord growing more rapidly in later development. Tarsal and wing chord growth were sigmoidal, whereas culmen growth was linear. We describe plumage characteristics of weekly age classes of chicks to help researchers age birds in the wild. Received 28 Dec. 1998, accepted 20 April 1999. Avian growth patterns have been studied (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), a precocial primarily because of their relationships to the bird that is an endangered subspecies of the ecology and evolutionary history of different Black-necked Stilt.

  • A Habitat Conservation Plan for Hawaiian Stilt at Cyanotech Corporation
    A Habitat Conservation Plan for Hawaiian Stilt at Cyanotech Corporation. Keahole Point, Hawaii. March 2006 through March 2016 April 2006 Prepared by Cyanotech Corporation Kailua-Kona, Hawaii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cyanotech Corporation (Cyanotech) has applied for a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) pursuant to section 10(a)(l)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544), as amended, and has applied for a license from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (HDLNR) in accordance with the HRS (Hawaii Revised Statutes) section 195D-4(g) to incidentally take endangered Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni). The incidental take is anticipated to occur as a result of ongoing operations and maintenance activities at Cyanotech’s aquaculture facility within the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELHA) along the Kona Coast of the island of Hawaii (Big Island). No other listed, proposed, or candidate species are found in the project area. In support of the permit application, Cyanotech proposes to implement a Conservation Plan as required by section 10(a)(2)(A) of the ESA and the HRS section 195D-21. The proposed permit period is ten years. The primary goal of the Conservation Plan for Hawaiian Stilt at Cyanotech is to eliminate the incidental take of Hawaiian Stilt by eliminating the “attractive nuisance” problem created by the expanse of open-water ponds, invertebrate food resources, and remote nesting areas, which inadvertently attract Hawaiian Stilt to the Cyanotech facility. The purpose of the Conservation Plan is to actively pursue non-lethal bird deterrent measures to reduce and eliminate stilt foraging and nesting at the facility.

  • Endangered Species Permit: Te-25955C-1 January 01, 2019
    REPORT TO THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE FOR HAWAIIAN STILT ENDANGERED SPECIES PERMIT: TE-25955C-1 REPORTING PERIOD JANUARY 01, 2019 – DECEMBER 31, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Melissa R. Price Assistant Professor University of Hawaii-Manoa 1910 East-West Road Sherman Hall Rm 118 Honolulu, HI 96822 Phone: 808-956-7774 Email: [email protected] January 31, 2020 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 The Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) is an endangered subspecies of the 4 Black-necked stilt (Himantopus mexicanus) that inhabits wetlands throughout the Hawaiian 5 Islands. Depredation of eggs and chicks by introduced predators is a major threat to Hawaiian 6 Stilt populations. Where and when a bird decides to nest may impact the likelihood of egg or 7 chick depredation. Nesting in close proximity to water may decrease depredation rates by 8 mammals, as water can act as a barrier to mammalian predators, does not hold scent, and 9 provides an obstacle-free escape route for chicks. Alternatively, some mammalian predators may 10 be attracted to water, and a number of aquatic species have been identified as predators of 11 Hawaiian Stilt chicks, including the American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus). Vegetation 12 height is also an important factor for egg and chick survival, as taller vegetation may help 13 conceal nests and chicks from predators, particularly aerial species. Additionally, depredation is 14 often not constant across the breeding season due to changes in parental activity, nest and chick 15 abundance, or habitat characteristics. The Hawaiian Stilt nests from February to September 16 across the Hawaiian Islands.

    25 Using Community Group Monitoring Data To Measure The Effectiveness Of Restoration Actions For Australia's Woodland Birds Michelle Gibson1, Jessica Walsh1,2, Nicki Taws5, Martine Maron1 1Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, 4072, Queensland, Australia, 2School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Melbourne, 3800, Victoria, Australia, 3Greening Australia, Aranda, Canberra, 2614 Australian Capital Territory, Australia, 4BirdLife Australia, Carlton, Melbourne, 3053, Victoria, Australia, 5Greening Australia, PO Box 538 Jamison Centre, Macquarie, Australian Capital Territory 2614, Australia Before conservation actions are implemented, they should be evaluated for their effectiveness to ensure the best possible outcomes. However, many conservation actions are not implemented under an experimental framework, making it difficult to measure their effectiveness. Ecological monitoring datasets provide useful opportunities for measuring the effect of conservation actions and a baseline upon which adaptive management can be built. We measure the effect of conservation actions on Australian woodland ecosystems using two community group-led bird monitoring datasets. Australia’s temperate woodlands have been largely cleared for agricultural production and their bird communities are in decline. To reverse these declines, a suite of conservation actions has been implemented by government and non- government agencies, and private landholders. We analysed the response of total woodland bird abundance, species richness, and community condition, to two widely-used actions — grazing exclusion and replanting. We recorded 139 species from 134 sites and 1,389 surveys over a 20-year period. Grazing exclusion and replanting combined had strong positive effects on all three bird community metrics over time relative to control sites, where no actions had occurred.
