  • First Documented Observation of Ringed Kingfisher in Arizona by Jeff Coker, Vail, Az 85641 ([email protected])
    Arizona Birds - Journal of Arizona Field Ornithologists Volume 2019 FIRST DOCUMENTED OBSERVATION OF RINGED KINGFISHER IN ARIZONA BY JEFF COKER, VAIL, AZ 85641 ([email protected]) On 9 September 2018 a Ringed Kingfisher (Megaceryle torquata, Figure 1) was observed at Dankworth Pond, Graham County, Arizona. This sighting is the first reported record of this species for Arizona. The bird remained in the general geographical area for approximately the next 6 months. The initial discovery of the Ringed Kingfisher was a very brief encounter. At approximately 0845 (MST) on 9 September 2018, I was birding along the southeast shore of Dankworth Pond just west of the small marsh with the pond’s outflow pipe (N 32° 43’ 08.89”, W 109° 42’ 14.76”). I looked to the north above the cattails (Typha spp.) and observed a kingfisher for about 2 seconds as it flew south across the pond towards me at a height of about 3.0-4.5 m above the surface before it dove behind the cattails and disappeared from Figure 1. Ringed Kingfisher 20 February 2019. my sight. The bird had a solid dark rufous/chestnut colored belly, a Photo by Lyndie M. Warner wide bold white band on the chin/neck, dark slate blue on the back, and a very large bill. My initial impression was that it was a Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon), but I knew that species did not have an all-rufous belly. The rufous belly was indicative of Ringed Kingfisher, a species unexpected in southeast Arizona. I quickly walked back to the east along the pond’s shore, climbed on a picnic table, and scanned the pond, focusing on the southeast corner.

  • Belted Kingfisher Megaceryle Alcyon
    Belted Kingfisher Megaceryle alcyon Folk Name: Diver Status: Resident Abundance: Fairly Common Habitat: Lakes, ponds, streams, wires along roads with wet ditches The Belted Kingfisher is a popular and well-known bird here in the Central Carolinas. Solitary kingfishers can be found foraging on almost every local creek, wetland, pond, or lake at some point during the year. Though not numerous, residents living along the shoreline of our many lakes and ponds might see or hear one almost daily. The kingfisher is easily identified by its conspicuous field marks, its behavior, and its distinctive call. At 13 inches, it is about 2 inches larger than the Blue Jay—our only other bird with a crested blue head, blue back, and in pairs, instead of waking up the dead, with that blue tail. Unlike the jay, however, the kingfisher has a large outlandish voice from your great big head? head, stout bill, and a band of pale blue crosses its white Now you are not a game bird, Mr. Kingfisher, breast underneath.

  • Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines Version 2.0
    NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115 Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines Version 2.0 October 1997 Seattle, Washington noaa NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION National Ocean Service Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment National Ocean Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce The Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) provides decisionmakers comprehensive, scientific information on characteristics of the oceans, coastal areas, and estuaries of the United States of America. The information ranges from strategic, national assessments of coastal and estuarine environmental quality to real-time information for navigation or hazardous materials spill response. Through its National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program, ORCA uses uniform techniques to monitor toxic chemical contamination of bottom-feeding fish, mussels and oysters, and sediments at about 300 locations throughout the United States. A related NS&T Program of directed research examines the relationships between contaminant exposure and indicators of biological responses in fish and shellfish. Through the Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division (HAZMAT) Scientific Support Coordination program, ORCA provides critical scientific support for planning and responding to spills of oil or hazardous materials into coastal environments. Technical guidance includes spill trajectory predictions, chemical hazard analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of marine and estuarine environments to spills. To fulfill the responsibilities of the Secretary of Commerce as a trustee for living marine resources, HAZMAT’s Coastal Resource Coordination program provides technical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during all phases of the remedial process to protect the environment and restore natural resources at hundreds of waste sites each year.

CEP 69011-970, Manaus, AM, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The construction of hydroelectric power stations can affect the fauna, including the adaptation to the new lentic conditions, and may lead to the disappearance of some species and the colonization of others. Usually, there is a lack of information in the post-flooding phases. The present study is a preliminary qualitative survey of mammals, birds, and reptiles in the influenced area of the Balbina hydroelectric dam (01º55' S, 59º29' W). Species records were made during field trips to the reservoir with no group specific methods. The conservation status of the identified species followed the classification adopted by IUCN. Twenty-two mammals (one endangered – EN), forty-two birds and six reptiles (one vulnerable – VU) were identified. Although the list presented here is preliminary, if appropriately complemented it can be used to understand the effects of hydroelectric dams on the Amazonian fauna.
