    The Stormy Petrel (Procellaria Pelagica)

    THE 0.8~ O.SEMI-ANNUAL. 37 THE STORMYPETREL. Procellaria Pelagica. DY W. RAINE, TORONTO, CANADA This interesting little bird, though rare in North America, is plen- tiful on the British side of the Atlantic Ocean. It is supposed to be the smallest web-footed bird known, and seldom comes to shore ex- cept during the breeding season, when they resort to such places as the Stilly Islands, in the English Channel, and the islands of the Irish Sea; but their chief nesting places are in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, and St. Kilda and STORMY PETREL. the outer Hebrides. This bird is well known to sailors by the name of Mother Carey’s Chicken, and hated by them because it foretells an approaching storm. They are mostly seen in stormy weather, because the marine crea- tures, on which they feed, are tossed to the surface of the chopping waves, and can be easily picked up by the bird as it passes over the waves, pattering the water with its webbed feet, and flapping its wings so as to keep itself just above the surface. The name Petrel is given to these birds on account of its powers of walking on the water, as is related of St. Peter. This bird seems very happy during rough weather, and many a ship-wrecked sailor, while clinging half locausted to some floating wreckage, has envied this little bird of its powers of flight, as it traverses the rolling, seething billows with wonderful ease. It feeds on the little fish, crustaceaus and molluses which are found in abundance on the surface of the sea.

Report to NZ Deparment of Conservation. Parker Conservation, Dunedin pp 13. 1 Rexer-Huber | White-chinned petrels Summary The white-chinned petrel Procellaria aequinoctialis is one of the most frequently observed seabird species captured in fisheries bycatch, yet some populations remain virtually unstudied. In the New Zealand region, the priority programmes to fill key information gaps included surveying, tracking and collecting demographic data from white-chinned petrels in the Auckland Islands. Survey of the Campbell Island population and clarification of taxonomic uncertainty in the New Zealand region were secondary aims. The scope of this report is to summarise research findings, with focus on New Zealand populations of white-chinned petrels. An estimated 186,000 (95% CI: 131,000–248,000) white-chinned petrel pairs breed in the Auckland Islands, and the Campbell Island group supports around 22,000 (15,000–29,000) breeding pairs. The New Zealand region supports almost a third of white-chinned petrels globally, but population trends remain unknown. We establish population baselines that can be repeated for trend estimation. A tracking programme in the Auckland Islands has retrieved 40 geolocators from white-chinned petrels, which were analysed together with tracking data from all major island populations. NZ populations do not overlap at sea with populations from South Atlantic or Indian Ocean islands.

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.

Indeed, Costa Rica makes you feel odd if you are NOT wearing a pair. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of some of the most revered sites in Costa Rican birding; we started out near San Jose in the dry Central Valley, before driving over to the Caribbean side, where foothill birding was done in and around Braulio Carrillo National Park, and held beautiful birds from the outset, like Black-and-yellow Tanager, Black-thighed Grosbeak, and daytime Spectacled and Crested Owls. A tour first was also provided by a Thicket Antpitta seen well by all. From there we continued downslope to the lowlands of that side, and the world famous La Selva Biological Station. La Selva is a place where birds feel particularly plentiful, and we racked up a heady list of birds on our one and a half days there, including Rufous and Broad-billed Motmots, Black-throated Trogon, Pale-billed, Cinnamon and Chestnut-colored Woodpeckers, Keel-billed and Yellow-throated Toucans, and Great Curassow, to name just a few of the highlights, which also included several two-toed sloths, the iconic Red-eyed Tree Frog (photo last page), and Strawberry Poison Dart Frogs of the much publicized “blue jeans” form that adorns so many tourist posters in this Sarapiqui region.

Spellman a,1 a Barrick Museum of Natural History, Box 454012, University of Nevada Las Vegas, 4505 Maryland, Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89154-4012, USA b Department of Biology, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA 92182-4614, USA Received 28 March 2007; revised 29 June 2007; accepted 10 July 2007 Available online 19 July 2007 Abstract Within the New World nine-primaried oscine assemblage, feeding morphology and behavior have long been used as a guideline for assigning membership to subgroups. For example, birds with stout, conical bills capable of crushing heavy seeds have generally been placed within the tribe Cardinalini (cardinal-grosbeaks). Many workers have tried to characterize this group more definitively, using a variety of morphological characters; however, the characters used often conflicted with one another. Previous molecular studies addressing the monophyly of Cardinalini have had only limited sampling within the group. In this study, we analyze mtDNA sequence data from all genera and 34 of the 42 Cardinalini species (sensu [Sibley, C.G., Monroe, B.L., 1990. Distribution and Taxonomy of the Birds of the World, Yale University Press, New Haven, CT]) to address the monophyly of the group and to reconstruct the most com- plete phylogeny of this tribe published to date. We found strong support for a redefined Cardinalini that now includes some members previously placed within Thraupini (tanagers; the genera Piranga, Habia, Chlorothraupis, and Amaurospiza) and some members previ- ously placed within the Parulini (wood-warblers; the genus Granatellus).

We tried to clarifythese issues with 496bp sequencesfrom the mitochondrialcytochrome-b gene of 12 taxa representingthree putative subspecies of Pseudobulweria,seven species in six othergenera of the Procellariidae(fulmars, petrels, and shearwaters),and onespecies each from the Hydrobatidae(storm-petrels) and Pelecanoidi- dae (diving-petrels).We alsoinclude published sequences for two otherpetrels (Procellaria cinereaand Macronectesgiganteus ) and use Diomedeaexulans and Pelecanuserythrorhynchos as outgroups.Based on thepronounced sequence divergence (5 to 5.5%)and separate phylo- genetichistory from othergenera that havebeen thought to be closelyrelated to or have beensynonymized with Pseudobulweria,we conclude that the genusis valid, and that the MascarenePetrel (Pseudobulweria aterrima)

They belong to various evolutionary lineages. Of these, one group of genera, which can be considered together in the so-calledPhilopterus complex within the Philopteridaesensu lato, occur more or less vicariously on all passerine, but only on four non-passerine families (Leptosomidae, Momotidae, Galbulidae, and Bucconidae). In other words, representatives of this chewing louse group have been recorded, or can be expected, on ca. 5000 bird species in 94 families. Using the example of a synapo- morphy, namely the variable (within narrow limits) functional morphological unit consisting of trabecula, conus, preconal seta, preantennal seta, and antenna (especially the scapus with a pair of curved setae), the taxa showing these characters can be defined as a self-contained group of related forms. This com- prises the following 11 mostly new genera, which canbe provisionally placed and characterized in five groups according to the postembryonal development of their anterior head structures (clypeal and ventral carina).

Pages 64, 78-79 & 82-83. Order PROCELLARIIFORMES: Albatrosses, Petrels, Prions and Shearwaters Checklist Committee (1990) recognised three families within the Procellariiformes, however, four families are recognised here, with the reinstatement of Pelecanoididae, following many other recent authorities (e.g. Marchant & Higgins 1990, del Hoyo et al. 1992, Viot et al. 1993, Warham 1996: 484, Nunn & Stanley 1998, Dickinson 2003, Brooke 2004, Onley & Scofield 2007). The relationships of the families within the Procellariiformes are debated (e.g. Sibley & Alquist 1990, Christidis & Boles 1994, Nunn & Stanley 1998, Livezey & Zusi 2001, Kennedy & Page 2002, Rheindt & Austin 2005), so a traditional arrangement (Jouanin & Mougin 1979, Marchant & Higgins 1990, Warham 1990, del Hoyo et al. 1992, Warham 1996: 505, Dickinson 2003, Brooke 2004) has been adopted. The taxonomic recommendations (based on molecular analysis) on the Procellariiformes of Penhallurick & Wink (2004) have been heavily criticised (Rheindt & Austin 2005) and have seldom been followed here.

Subfamilies Procellariinae and Fulmarinae and shearwater subgenera Ardenna, Thyellodroma and Puffinus (as recognised by Checklist Committee 1990) are not accepted here given the lack of agreement about to which subgenera some species should be assigned (e.g.
