Welcome from the President It is a true pleasure to welcome delegates from across Europe and far beyond, to the 11th Conference of the European Ornithologists’ Union to be held in Turku, Finland. From Badajoz in Spain, where we last convened in 2015, we are crossing much of the continent from South West to North East, visiting a community that is again vibrant and passionate about Ornithology: birds know no boundaries, and in their study, nor do we! Looking through this abstract book I am fascinated to see the EOU take yet another growth step, evidenced by ever higher levels of ornithological research while staying young at heart. This is thanks to all those who instill their enthusiasm, so that we are becoming a community where young ornithologists come to meet their peers and seasoned ornithologists come to connect with them, sharing their own insights and getting inspired by new ideas. According to records, the EOU will celebrate its 20th birthday in Turku – also marking 20 years of open borders in Europe for many of us. I hope that we can celebrate together, thankful for what we have achieved in these 20 years, while being mindful how precious these freedoms are. In this spirit, I wish you all exciting scientific experiences combined with an appreciation of socialising with others, from far and near. Once again, the young ornithologists have organised special activities for networking with each other and for welcoming first-timers to mingle effortlessly. Our programme is again joined by a satellite symposium of the Migrant Landbird Study Group, which this time will last for two days. I cannot predict the many additional opportunities that will open up in Turku, but I’m confident that they will abound. This conference is only possible because some people have given up much of their private time over the last two years to open Turku’s doors to the EOU, from extending the invitation several years ago to compiling a programme packed with exciting events. In the first instance, it is Toni Laaksonen whom we all owe an enormous thank-you for his invitation, for his admirable organizational skills, and for his hard work to get everything prepared. Toni has been supported by Jon Brommer, and by a team of others who helped by dividing up many of the countless tasks amongst each themselves. Zoltán Barta has served as our Scientific Programme Chair in the most modest and thoughtful ways, handling hundreds of submissions, thousands of emails, and facing tough decisions. Zoltán, too, received support from members on the Scientific Programme Committee. Thank you very much for all your efforts. On behalf of Council and Officers of the EOU, I wish you all an inspiring, invigorating and joyful meeting. Enjoy Finland! Barbara Helm Glasgow (Scotland), August 2017 President of the EOU 2.

Echinostome trematode parasites have complex, multiple-host life-cycles, often involving migratory bird definitive hosts, thus leading to widespread distributions. Here, we examined the echinostome diversity in freshwater ecosystems at high latitude locations in Iceland, Finland, Ireland and Alaska (USA). We report 14 echinostome species identified morphologically and molecularly from analyses of nad1 and 28S rDNA sequence data. We found echinostomes parasitising snails of 11 species from the families Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Physidae and Valvatidae.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

  • A Birder's Guide to Cook County, Northeastern Minnesota Birding
    A Birder’s Guide to Cook County, Northeastern Minnesota This guide will help you find the birds of Cook County, one of the best birding areas in the upper midwest. The shore of Lake Superior and the wildlands of the northeast are natural treasures that are especially rich in birds. Descriptions of the locatoins can be found inside, along with information about how to make the most of your birding during each season of the year. Birding around the year Spring: The migration is always most exciting along the shore of Lake Superior. Spring migration is smaller than fall, but spring specialties include Tundra Swan, Sandhill Crane, Gray-cheeked Thrush, American Tree Sparrow, Harris’ Sparrow, Lapland Longspur and Rusty Blackbird. Boreal species like Black-backed Woodpecker, Boreal Owl and Northern Saw-whet Owl begin nesting during spring, which can begin as early as March and extend until June. Summer: In summer the excitement moves inland where specialties inclue Common Loon, American Black Duck, Bald Eagle, Ruffled Grouse, American Woodcock, Black-billed Cuckoo, Barred Owl, Northern Saw- whet Owl, Whip-poor-will, Olive-sided, Yellow-bellied, and Alder Flycatchers, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Winter and Sedge Wrens, 20 species of warblers, Le Conte’s Sparrow, and Evening Grosbeak. The summer breeding season extends from late May through early August. Autumn: the fall migration along the Norht Shore of Lake Superior is not to be missed! Beginning with the sight of thousands of Common Nighthawks in late August, the sheer quantity of birds moving down the shore makes this area a world-class migration route.

    ETHIOPIA: Birding the Roof of Africa; with Southern Extension A Tropical Birding Set Departure February 7 – March 1, 2010 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos taken by Ken Behrens during this trip ORIENTATION I have chosen to use a different format for this trip report. First, comes a general introduction to Ethiopia. The text of this section is largely drawn from the recently published Birding Ethiopia, authored by Keith Barnes, Christian, Boix and I. For more information on the book, check out http://www.lynxeds.com/product/birding-ethiopia. After the country introduction comes a summary of the highlights of this tour. Next comes a day-by-day itinerary. Finally, there is an annotated bird list and a mammal list. ETHIOPIA INTRODUCTION Many people imagine Ethiopia as a flat, famine- ridden desert, but this is far from the case. Ethiopia is remarkably diverse, and unexpectedly lush. This is the ʻroof of Africaʼ, holding the continentʼs largest and most contiguous mountain ranges, and some of its tallest peaks. Cleaving the mountains is the Great Rift Valley, which is dotted with beautiful lakes. Towards the borders of the country lie stretches of dry scrub that are more like the desert most people imagine. But even in this arid savanna, diversity is high, and the desert explodes into verdure during the rainy season. The diversity of Ethiopiaʼs landscapes supports a parallel diversity of birds and other wildlife, and although birds are the focus of our tour, there is much more to the country. Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that was never systematically colonized, and Rueppell’s Robin-Chat, a bird of the Ethiopian mountains.
