  • Widely Distributed Breeding Populations of Canada Warbler (Cardellina Canadensis) Converge on Migration Through Central America A
    Roberto-Charron et al. BMC Zoology (2020) 5:10 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40850-020-00056-4 BMC Zoology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Widely distributed breeding populations of Canada warbler (Cardellina canadensis) converge on migration through Central America A. Roberto-Charron1* , J. Kennedy2, L. Reitsma3, J. A. Tremblay4,5, R. Krikun6, K. A. Hobson7, J. Ibarzabal5 and K. C. Fraser1 Abstract Background: To effectively conserve migratory species, the entire range encompassed by their annual life cycle needs to be considered. Most research on Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds has focused on the breeding grounds resulting in a general lack of knowledge regarding the wintering and migratory periods. The Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis) has declined by 71% from 1970 to 2012, at a rate of 2.9% per year, and is listed as Threatened in Canada. As with most Nearctic-Neotropical migrants, conservation efforts outside the breeding range are limited by a poor understanding of migration routes and the connectivity between specific breeding and wintering populations. Results: To determine migratory routes of multiple breeding populations of Canada Warblers, we directly-tracked individuals using light-level geolocators deployed at four sites across the breeding range, spanning approximately 43 degrees in longitude (Alberta, Manitoba and Québec, Canada, and New Hampshire, USA). Twenty-five geolocators with usable data were recovered from three sites and were analyzed using FlightR to determine fall migration routes (n = 18) and individual wintering sites (n = 25). Individuals from all breeding populations took a western fall migration route at the Gulf of Mexico; with 77.8% of birds funnelling into a narrow geographic space along the western side of the Gulf of Mexico (97°W-99°W).

Gulls are notoriously difficult to identify, but I hope to at least get you looking at them a little closer. Even though I know a bit about them, I'm far from an expert in the field and there is always more to learn. The challenge is to know the particular field marks that are most important, and familiarization with the many plumage cycles helps a lot too. No one will come out of this presentation an expert, but I hope that I can at least give you an idea what to look for. At the very least, I hope you enjoy the photos. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!” Chuck Slusarczyk is an avid member of the Ohio birding community, and his efforts to assist and educate novice birders via social media are well known, yet he is the first to admit that one never stops learning. He has presented a number of programs to Black River Audubon, always drawing a large, appreciative gathering. 2019 Wellington Area Christmas Bird Count The Wellington-area CBC will take place Saturday, December 28, 2019.

The state of Veracruz, along the gulf coast of México, is an important fl yway for Neotropical migrants. Many passerines and other land birds use remnants of native vegetation as stopover sites for shelter and refueling during their migration. We operate a long-term banding station in a coastal forest near the fi shing village of Playa Salinas, in the municipality of Alvarado, with the purpose of studying patterns of spring migration. After nine seasons of mist-netting and banding, we recorded 77 species of birds using this site as regular northward transients and have banded nearly 1000 individuals per season. The majority of the records (41.9% of the total), are from six species: Least Flycatcher (Empidonax minimus), Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), Swainson’s Thrush (Catharus ustulatus), Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens), and Wilson’s Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla). We provide some notes on the timing of their migration and annual capture rates. Multiple-year recaptures of banded individuals are low (37 individuals of 10 species, from a total of 8479 individuals banded in the period 1999-2007).

  • American Redstarts
    San Antonio Audubon Society May/June 2021 Newsletter American Redstarts By Mike Scully At the time of this writing (early April), the glorious annual spring migration of songbirds through our area is picking up. Every spring I keep a special eye out for one of my favorite migrants, the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla). These beautiful warblers flutter actively through the foliage, tail spread, wings drooped, older males clad in black and orange, females and second year males in shades of gray, olive green and yellow. For years, the American Redstart was the only species remaining in the genus Setophaga, until a comprehensive genetic analysis of the Family Parulidae resulted in this genus being grouped with more than 32 species formerly placed in the genus Dendroica and Wilsonia. The name Setophaga was applied to the whole by virtue of seniority. Though now grouped in a large genus, the American Redstart remains an outlier, possessing proportionately large wings, a long tail, and prominent rictal bristles at the base of the relatively wide flat beak, all adaptations to a flycatching mode of foraging. Relatively heavy thigh musculature and long central front toes are apparently adaptations to springing into the air after flying insects. The foraging strategy of redstarts differs from that of typical flycatchers. Redstarts employ a more warbler-like maneuver, actively moving through the foliage, making typically short sallies after flying insect prey, and opportunistically gleaning insects from twigs and leaves while hovering or perched. The wings are frequently drooped and the colorful tail spread wide in order to flush insect prey.

  • Notes on Birds of Central Oaxaca
    _Monitoreo-_ Notes on the Birds of Central Oaxaca, Part II: Columbidae to Vireonidae John M. Forcey Apartado 1415, Oaxaca, Oaxaca, C.P. 68000, México. E-mail: [email protected] S u m m a r y New data are presented amplifying or clarifying the status and distribution of 70 species of birds found in central Oaxaca primarily in portions of the Districts of Centro, Etla, Ixtlan, Tlacolula, and Zaachila within 35 km of Oaxaca City. Summaries are based on observations made on 738 days during the period from Dec 1996 to Mar 2002. Principal habitats found in the area are pine-oak (including limited areas of pine-oak-fir and limited extensions of bunch grass mixed with pine-oak), oak scrub, arid subtropical scrub, riparian areas, and areas more or less modified for agricultural or other human use (including gardens and parks). The following species are newly reported from the area as vagrants or rare transient migrants: Plain-capped Starthroat (Heliomaster constantii), Sparkling-tailed Hummingbird (Tilmatura dupontii), Yellow- bellied Flycatcher (Empidonax flaviventris), Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), Great Crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus), Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher (Myiodynastes luteiventris), Philadelphia Vireo (Vireo philadelphicus), Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus), and Yellow-green Vireo (Vireo flavoviridis). Also, the following ten species have previously been reported either only on Christmas Bird Counts or as single records: Buff-collared Nightjar (Caprimulgus ridgwayi) (presumed resident), Great Swallow-tailed Swift (Panyptila sanctihieronymi) (local resident), Azure-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia cyanocephala) (local resident), Green-fronted Hummingbird (Amazilia viridifrons), Garnet- throated Hummingbird (Lamprolaima rhami), Russet-crowned Motmot (Momotus mexicanus) (presumed resident Sierra Juárez), Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), Social Flycatcher (Myiozetetes similis) (resident), Gray-collared Becard (Pachyramphus major) (resident), and White-eyed Vireo (Vireo griseus).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We investigated if passerine birds act as important predators of small vertebrates within the Neotropics. We surveyed published studies on bird diets, and information on labels of museum specimens, compiling data on the contents of 5,221 stomachs. Eighteen samples (0.3%) presented evidence of predation on vertebrates. Our bibliographic survey also provided records of 203 passerine species preying upon vertebrates, mainly frogs and lizards. Our data suggest that vertebrate predation by passerines is relatively uncommon in the Neotropics and not characteristic of any family. On the other hand, although rare, the ability to prey on vertebrates seems to be widely distributed among Neotropical passerines, which may respond opportunistically to the stimulus of a potential food item.

Miles In a rapidly changing world, species are faced with habitat alteration, changing climate and weather patterns, changing community interactions, novel resources, novel dangers, and a host of other natural and anthropogenic challenges. Conservationists endeavor to understand how changing ecology will impact local populations and local communities so efforts and funds can be allocated to those taxa/ecosystems exhibiting the greatest need. Ecological morphological and functional morphological research form the foundation of our understanding of selection-driven morphological evolution. Studies which identify and describe ecomorphological or functional morphological relationships will improve our fundamental understanding of how taxa respond to ecological selective pressures and will improve our ability to identify and conserve those aspects of nature unable to cope with rapid change. The New World wood warblers (family Parulidae) exhibit extensive taxonomic, behavioral, ecological, and morphological variation.
