  • TWENTY-EIGHTH REPORT of the FLORIDA ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY RECORDS COMMITTEE: 2017-2018 Florida Museum of Natural History, 1659
    Florida Field Naturalist 47(2):60-81, 2019. TWENTY-EIGHTH REPORT OF THE FLORIDA ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY RECORDS COMMITTEE: 2017-2018 ANDREW W. KRATTER Florida Museum of Natural History, 1659 Museum Road, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 Abstract.—The Records Committee of the Florida Ornithological Society met at the Florida Museum of Natural History on 22 July 2018. We reviewed 76 new reports; in addition, two submissions tabled at our previous meeting were reviewed, one submis- sion unresolved from our previous meeting was reviewed, and two previously decided submissions were reopened. Of the 81 total reports we reviewed at the meeting, 62 were documented by still photographs or video (several of these also had audio documenta- tion), three were documented solely by audio recordings, and 11 were documented by specimens deposited in museum collections. The other six were sight reports with vary- ing amounts of written documentation. Of these 81 reports, 66 (80.2%) were accepted (one of them a species triplet), nine were not accepted (11.1%), two were tabled (2.0%), and six were unresolved (7.4%). The submissions include five species that would have been new additions to the Official List of Florida bird species if accepted (Stygian Owl, House Crow, Brown-chested Martin, Caribbean/Sinaloa Martin), but only one of these was accepted: Stygian Owl. The Official State List remains at 525 species, however, because Thayer’s Gull was removed following actions of the American Ornithological Society’s North American Classification Committee. The submission of aProgne martin was accepted to a three-species group (Caribbean, Sinaloa, or Cuban Martin); Caribbean and Sinaloa have not been recorded previously in Florida, and the only Cuban Martin record dates back to the 1890s.

    Cotinga 32 The current status of Sinaloa Martin Progne sinaloae Nicholas A. Lethaby and Jon R. King Received 24 February 2009; final revision accepted 13 November 2009 first published online 16 March 2010 Cotinga 32 (2010): 90–95 La Golondrina de Sinaloa Progne sinaloae es una especie categorizada como Datos Deficientes y endémica reproductiva de la Sierra Madre Occidental y las montañas Volcánicas Centrales de México. Sus áreas de invernada son desconocidas. A pesar de que su estado es descrito como poco común a relativamente común, no hay localidades donde la especie sea vista regularmente o en números significativos. Históricamente, los registros han sido de colonias reproductivas de 15–30 aves o más; pero los registros acumulados por los autores a lo largo de las últimas dos décadas han sido en su mayoría de migrantes en las tierras bajas, sin registros reproductivos definitivos excepto por una colonia recientemente descubierta de solo 2–6 individuos en Sinaloa. La Golondrina de Sinaloa es inherentemente conspicua y los machos son fáciles de identificar, por lo que es una especie difícil de pasar desapercibida. Parece ser poco común y altamente local en el mejor de los casos, y posiblemente muy rara. Monitoreos formales deberían ser desarrollados para evaluar con precisión el actual estado de conservación de la especie y sus tendencias poblacionales.

  • Western Mexico
    This incredible Tufted Jay was our bird of the tour! (Pete Morris) WESTERN MEXICO 8/12 – 26 MARCH 2014 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and JON KING With just the odd tweak here and there, our well-established Western Mexico tour has, over the years, become a very efficient clean-up of the many regional specialities that this part of Mexico has to offer. This year, we once again recorded well over 400 species of birds (exact total taxonomy dependant), and again we found a very high proportion of the special birds (or diamond birds) which is, of course, the main focus of the tour. We also added a new diamond bird to the list, the very smart Hooded Grosbeak! Highlights amongst the 410+ species seen were many and varied, but special mention should go to: the 10 species of owls and five species of nightjars that all showed so well; the delightful Bumblebee Hummingbirds that buzzed around us; the Banded and Elegant Quails; the shy Long-tailed Wood-Partridge that we teased on to the road; the amazing variety of endemic jays including the incredible Tufted Jay; stunning Military Macaws; colourful Rosy Thrush-Tanagers; brilliant Aztec Thrushes; much appreciated Rufous-necked Wood Rails, Spotted Rail and Ruddy 1 BirdQuest Tour Report:Western Mexico 2014 www.birdquest-tours.com Crakes; an amazing variety of North American Wood Warblers, including Olive Warbler; 13 smart species of wrens, and many, many more. We also again found the poorly known Sinaloa Martin. All of this was complemented by some great food (rather too much!), three weeks of virtual wall to wall sunshine, and a happy and jovial group that were all well pleased with the numbers of lifers under their belts! Belding’s Yellowthroat showed quite well...(Pete Morris) The tour began in Baja California, where those of us participating on the pre-tour extension assem- bled from various locations at San José del Cabo airport.

  • TWENTY-SIXTH REPORT of the FLORIDA ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY RECORDS COMMITTEE: 2016 Florida Museum of Natural History, University
    Florida Field Naturalist 46(1):8-28, 2018. TWENTY-SIXTH REPORT OF THE FLORIDA ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY RECORDS COMMITTEE: 2016 ANDREW KRATTER Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, Florida 32611-7800 Email: [email protected] Abstract.—The Records Committee of the Florida Ornithological Society met at the Florida Museum of Natural History on 7 August 2016. We reviewed 74 new reports; in addition two reports unresolved from our previous meeting were reviewed. Of the 76 total reports we reviewed at the meeting, 54 were documented by still photographs (several of these also had audio/video documentation), three were documented solely by audio recordings, and two were documented by specimens deposited in museum collec- tions, The other 17 were sight reports with varying amounts of written documentation. Of these 76 reports, 54 were accepted, 15 were not accepted, two were not accepted to species but accepted to genus, two were tabled, and two were unresolved. The submis- sions included an astonishing 12 species that would have been new additions to the Of- ficial List of Florida bird species, but only three of these were accepted: Cuban Vireo (also a first for the ABA Checklist Area), Pacific Golden-Plover, and European Storm-Petrel, bringing the State List to 524 species. Two potentially new State records, Great White Pelican and Caribbean/Cuban/Sinaloa martin, were tabled to gather more data. Criteria for inclusion of species on the Review List were changed to 20 or fewer accepted records or reports over the previous ten years. The new criteria resulted in the addition of 33 species to the Review List.

  • Incertae Sedis
    416 GENERA INCERTAE SEDIS Genera INCERTAE SEDIS Notes.-- The sevengenera to follow havepresented taxonomic challenges for morethan a century.Allozyme and DNA hybridizationdata suggestthat the enigmaticgenus Sapayoa is an outgroupto all other Tyrannoidea(S. M. Lanyon 1985, Sibley and Ahlquist1990), whereassyringeal characters suggest that Sapayoais allied as a sistergroup to, or within, the Tyrannidae(Prum 1990). Summarizingnumerous morphological characters, Prum and Lanyon (1989) hypothesizedthat Schiffornis,Laniocera, and Pachyramphus,along with three SouthAmerican genera, constitute a monophyleticassemblage. This "Schiffornis group"appears to be alliedto Piprites,Lipaugus, and Tityra,but cannotbe placedwithin the otherwiserather well-defined, monophyletic assemblages here referred to asthe families Tyrannidae,Cotingidae, and Pipridae(see also Prum 1990). We list theseseven genera as a group,incertae sedis, to acknowledgethat they are unequivocally tyrannoid but of uncertain affinity within the superfamily.
