  • Red-Breasted Nuthatch and Golden-Crowned Kinglet
    Red-breasted Nuthatch and Golden-crowned Kinglet: The First Nests for South Carolina and Other Chattooga Records Frank Renfrow 611 South O’Fallon Avenue, Bellevue, KY 41073 [email protected] Introduction The Chattooga Recreation Area (referred to as CRA for purposes of this article), located adjacent to the Walhalla National Fish Hatchery (780 m) within Sumter National Forest, Oconee Co., South Carolina, has long been noted as a unique natural area within the state. The picnic area in particular, situated along the East Fork of the Chattooga River, contains an old-growth stand of White Pine (Pinus strobus) and Canada Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) with state records for both species as well as an impressive understory of Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and Great Laurel (Rhododendron maximum) (Gaddy 2000). Nesting birds at CRA not found outside of the northwestern corner of the state include Black-throated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) and Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). Breeding evidence of two other species of northern affinities, Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) and Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) has previously been documented at this location (Post and Gauthreaux 1989, Oberle and Forsythe 1995). However, nest records of these two species have not been documented prior to this study. The summer occurrence of two other northern species on the South Carolina side of the Chattooga River, Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) and Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) has not been previously recorded. Only a few summer records of the Blackburnian Warbler (Dendroica fusca) have been noted for the state. Extensive field observations were made by the author in the Chattooga River area of Georgia and South Carolina during the breeding seasons of 2000, 2002 and 2003 in order to verify breeding of bird species of northern affinities.

Corresponding author: Abdulaziz S. Alatawi, [email protected] Abstract Conducting species inventories is important to provide baseline information essential for management and conserva- tion. Aldesa Valley lies in the Tabuk Province of northwest Saudi Arabia and because of the presence of permanent water, is thought to contain high avian richness. We conducted an inventory of avian species in Aldesa Valley, using timed area-searches during May 10–August 10 in 2014 and 2015 to detect species occurrence. We detected 6860 birds belonging to 19 species. We also noted high human use of this area including agriculture and recreational activities. Maintaining species diversity is important in areas receiving anthropogenic pressures, and we encourage additional surveys to further identify species occurrence in Aldesa Valley.

  • Egg Investment Strategies Adopted by a Desertic Passerine, the Saxaul
    Bao et al. Avian Res (2020) 11:15 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40657-020-00201-0 Avian Research RESEARCH Open Access Egg investment strategies adopted by a desertic passerine, the Saxaul Sparrow (Passer ammodendri) Xinkang Bao1* , Wei Zhao1, Fangqing Liu2, Jianliang Li1 and Donghui Ma1 Abstract Background: As one of the reproductive strategies adopted by bird species, variation in investment in egg produc- tion and its infuencing factors are important and well-studied subjects. Intraclutch changes in egg size associated with laying order may refect a strategy of “brood survival” or “brood reduction” adopted by female birds in diferent situations. Methods: We conducted feld studies on the breeding parameters of the Saxaul Sparrow (Passer ammodendri) in Gansu Province, China from 2010 to 2017, to clarify the factors afecting the egg investment and reproductive perfor- mance of this passerine species. Results: Our results revealed signifcant diferences in clutch size, egg size and the fedging rate between the frst and second brood of Saxaul Sparrows and suggested that this typical desert species allocates more breeding resources to the more favourable second brood period, leading to greater reproductive output. Female body size pre- sented a positive relationship with egg size, and male body size presented positive relationships with clutch size and hatchability. The females that started their clutches later laid more eggs, and hatchability and the fedging rate also increased with a later laying date in the frst brood period. With successive eggs laid within the 5-egg clutches (the most frequent clutch size), egg size increased for the frst three eggs and then signifcantly decreased.

The drive to the hotel was only five minutes and after check-in we had dinner and a nice rest after it. Day 2 We started the day visiting the most arid area in Madeira, on the eastern tip, Ponta de São Lourenço, where we watched Berthelot’s Pipits, Eurasian Kestrels and Clouded Yellow Butterflies. We only had a glimpse of two Rock Petronias flying and sitting on a rock for less than 20 seconds which did not allow everyone to have a good look at them through the telescope. Then we drove to the centre of the village of Caniçal where we looked for Spanish Sparrows and where a male displayed quite well. A male Blackcap and Eurasian Collared- doves were also observed here. After we headed to the north side of the island, to Faial, in search for the endemic Trocaz Pigeon and where we were very successful watching a few flying and others sitting on branches on open view. Lunch was taken at a restaurant with a really nice view over the green cliffs diving into the blue of the ocean and from where we saw more Eurasian Kestrels and Trocaz Pigeons flying and a Eurasian Sparrowhawk.

  • Hybridization and Extinction in a Recent Passer Sparrow Zone
    Hybridization and extinction in a recent Passer sparrow zone Vitalii Lichman Master of Science Thesis Department of Biosciences Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences University of Oslo 01.11.2018 © Vitalii Lichman 2018 Hybridization and extinction in a recent Passer sparrow zone Vitalii Lichman http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo Abstract The avifauna of Cape Verde archipelago is represented by three species within the Passer genus. Due to its distant localization from the continent and its variety of landscapes, this group of islands serves as objects of interest for studies in the sphere of evolutionary biology. From the beginning of the age of naturalistic explorations in the middle of 19th century, only few detailed ornithological expeditions were conducted until recently. In this connection, nowadays we have at our disposal only superficial information concerning the disposition of population structure and interspecific interactions within bird species, particularly sparrows. Technical progress and development of technologies in the field of molecular biology giving us an opportunity to investigate these processes more closely. This study clarifies phylogenetic relationships between 3 Passer species: 2 invasive (P. domesticus and P. hispaniolensis) and 1 endemic (P. Iagoensis). I also revealed a pronounced presence of P. hispaniolensis ancestry in P. domesticus genome that indicates existence of recent hybridization in the range of their contact, and supporting the notion that these species are prone to interspecific breeding elsewhere. I also found that P. Iagoensis has relatively high genome divergence - wide fixation index, that suggests absence of interbreeding between endemic and any of the invasive species. This is the first study of sparrows on the Cape Verde based on genetics and bioinformatics that presents explicit results on population structure Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Glenn-Peter Sætre and Mark Ravinet for all of their guidance.
