European Longevity Records - 2017-04-05 the Table Below Lists Longevity Records Recorded Through European Bird Ringing European Longevity Records - 2017-04-05 The table below lists longevity records recorded through European bird ringing. The two oldest individuals of a species are included in the list and the minimum age for a recovery to be included is five years. Recoveries of birds in the list where ring number and details are not included are published in atlases by those schemes. Birds ringed as full-grown or adults have been included with a minimum age based on age at ringing (start of year set to 1st of July). This longevity list should be cited as: Fransson, T., Jansson, L., Kolehmainen, T., Kroon, C. & Wenninger, T.

  • Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List
    Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List The target species list (species to be surveyed) should not change over the course of the study, therefore determining the target species list is an important project design task. Because waterbirds, including shorebirds, can occur in very high numbers in a census area, it is often not possible to count all species without compromising the quality of the survey data. For the basic shorebird census program (protocol 1), we recommend counting all shorebirds (sub-Order Charadrii), all raptors (hawks, falcons, owls, etc.), Common Ravens, and American Crows. This list of species is available on our field data forms, which can be downloaded from this site, and as a drop-down list on our online data entry form. If a very rare species occurs on a shorebird area survey, the species will need to be submitted with good documentation as a narrative note with the survey data. Project goals that could preclude counting all species include surveys designed to search for color-marked birds or post- breeding season counts of age-classed bird to obtain age ratios for a species. When conducting a census, you should identify as many of the shorebirds as possible to species; sometimes, however, this is not possible. For example, dowitchers often cannot be separated under censuses conditions, and at a distance or under poor lighting, it may not be possible to distinguish some species such as small Calidris sandpipers. We have provided codes for species combinations that commonly are reported on censuses. Combined codes are still species-specific and you should use the code that provides as much information as possible about the potential species combination you designate.

  • Purple Sandpiper
    Maine 2015 Wildlife Action Plan Revision Report Date: January 13, 2016 Calidris maritima (Purple Sandpiper) Priority 1 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) Class: Aves (Birds) Order: Charadriiformes (Plovers, Sandpipers, And Allies) Family: Scolopacidae (Curlews, Dowitchers, Godwits, Knots, Phalaropes, Sandpipers, Snipe, Yellowlegs, And Woodcock) General comments: Recent surveys suggest population undergoing steep population decline within 10 years. IFW surveys conducted in 2014 suggest population declined by 49% since 2004 (IFW unpublished data). Maine has high responsibility for wintering population, regional surveys suggest Maine may support over 1/3 of the Western Atlantic wintering population. USFWS Region 5 and Canadian Maritimes winter at least 90% of the Western Atlantic population.

  • Explicit Nation-Wide Habitat Models for Common Italian Piciformes
    Avocetta 33: 115-122 (2009) Explicit nation-wide habitat models for common Italian Piciformes Tommaso Campedelli2, GuGlielmo londi2, lorenzo mini2, Guido Tellini Florenzano1,2 1 MITO2000, National Committee 2 DREAM Italia - Via Garibaldi 3, I-52015 Pratovecchio (AR), Italy ([email protected]) Abstract – The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of broad scale environmental and geographical variables on the presence of Italian commonest breeding Piciformes (Wryneck, Green, Black, and Great Spotted Woodpeckers). Using the data of MITO2000 (2000-2003), logistic regression models were built, relating their presence with area occupied by Corine land-use categories, habitat diversity, morpho- logical and elevation-range, latitude and longitude. Our analyses seem to give some basic information about large scale ecology of the species, allowing to indicate different habitat types (heterogeneus habitat for Wryneck, broadleaved woods for Green Woodpecker, woods for Great Spotted Woodpecker). Our models clearly show the importance of geographical variables to infer how species ecology chang- es at different latitudes: Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker for example, become commoner, and less linked to woods, northwards. INTRODUCTION 2003, Brotons et al. 2004a, Rushton et al. 2004). Although some doubts on their effectiveness still remain (Gutzwiller Woodpeckers are typically considered forest species and and Barrow 2003, Chamberlain et al. 2004), these tech- efficient woodland biodiversity indicators, from local niques, if correctly applied, have proved to be valuable (Mikusinski et al. 2001) to continental scale (Mikusinski tools for the knowledge of the actual distribution of spe- and Angelstam 1998). Moreover, the ecology of wood- cies and to obtain objective information on the main eco- peckers is complex: they show a different degree of spe- logical factors affecting their presence (Guisan and Zim- cialization (Angelstam and Mikusinski 1994) and, even merman 2000, Scott et al.

Within this report was the realization that 1 in 4 birds, some 3 billion individuals, have been lost since 1970. The losses stretched across various families, from sparrows and warblers to blackbirds and finches — all common visitors to backyards here in New England. This kind of revelation can feel crushing, especially for something we see everyday that is slowly fading from existence. Birds are being taken out from multiple threats: pesticides, loss of habitat, window strikes... So what do we do? Something. Anything. Because if we do nothing, they will fade so gradually that we become numb to the loss.

  • Bird Ringing Results in Hrvatsko Zagorje Region (North-Western Croatia): Ringing Recoveries in Other Countries
    NAT. CROAT. VOL. 17 No 4 325¿333 ZAGREB December 31, 2008 original scientific paper / izvorni znanstveni rad BIRD RINGING RESULTS IN HRVATSKO ZAGORJE REGION (NORTH-WESTERN CROATIA): RINGING RECOVERIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES ZDRAVKO DOLENEC Department of Zoology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Zagreb, Rooseveltov trg 6, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia (e-mail: [email protected]) Dolenec, Z.: Bird ringing results in Hrvatsko zagorje region (north-western Croatia): ringing recoveries in other countries. Nat. Croat., Vol. 17, No. 4, 325–333, 2008, Zagreb. This paper is based on the recoveries of birds ringed in the territory of Hrvatsko zagorje region (north-western Croatia). In the period from 1972 to 2007 I ringed 16400 birds (70 species), 31 of which were recorded outside the territory of Croatia (5 species: starling Sturnus vulgaris – 26, woodpigeon Columba palumbus – 1, blackbird Turdus merula – 2, song thrush Turdus philomelos – 1 and blue tit Parus caeruleus – 1). Twenty-two birds were recovered in Europe (8 in Italy and 1 in Spain, France, Hungary and the Czech Republic) and nine in Africa (5 in Algeria and 4 in Tunisia). Key words: ringed, recoveries, migration of Croatian birds, Hrvatsko zagorje region Dolenec, Z.: Rezultati prstenovanja ptica u Hrvatskom zagorju (sjeverozapadna Hrvatska): nalazi u drugim zemljama. Nat. Croat., Vol. 17, No. 4, 325–333, 2008, Zagreb. U ovome se radu donose rezultati dugogodi{njeg prstenovanja ptica na podru~ju Hrvatskog zagorja, a odnose se na nalaze u drugim zemljama. U razdoblju od 1972. do 2007. godine prsteno- vao sam 16400 ptica (70 vrsta) od koji je izvan granica Hrvatske na|ena 31 ptica (5 vrsta: ~vorak Sturnus vulgaris – 26, golub grivnja{ Columba palumbus – 1, kos Turdus merula – 2, drozd cikelj Turdus philomelos – 1 i plavetna sjenica Parus caeruleus – 1).

  • Jynx Torquilla
    Jynx torquilla -- Linnaeus, 1758 ANIMALIA -- CHORDATA -- AVES -- PICIFORMES -- PICIDAE Common names: Eurasian Wryneck; European Wryneck; Torcol; Wryneck European Red List Assessment European Red List Status LC -- Least Concern, (IUCN version 3.1) Assessment Information Year published: 2015 Date assessed: 2015-03-31 Assessor(s): BirdLife International Reviewer(s): Symes, A. Compiler(s): Ashpole, J., Burfield, I., Ieronymidou, C., Pople, R., Wheatley, H. & Wright, L. Assessment Rationale European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) EU27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC) In Europe this species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern in Europe. Within the EU27 this species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (30% decline over ten years or three generations).
