  • Morocco SD 2017 Trip Report
    Morocco 9th - 18th March 2017 Desert Sparrow is surely one of the best looking and most sought after of all the sparrows Tour Leader: Lisle Gwynn All photos in this report were taken by Lisle Gwynn on this tour Species depicted in photographs are named in BOLD RED www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Introduction Morocco is a fascinating destination, and one that many world birders have neglected for too long. It is increasingly becoming a go-to country for European birders in Spring, and offers some of the most exciting birding in the Western Palearctic biogeographic region. Not only does it offer a chance to see Afro-European migration at its peak, but it also offers a plethora of exciting and special endemic and near-endemic species at its core. Add to this the fact that throughout the tour we have excellent accommodation and some of the best food available anywhere in the world (in my opinion), it all goes toward making Morocco a must-visit location for any birder branching out into the world. It is also currently by far the safest North African country to visit, with little crime and none of the problems that plague the rest of the region, and therefore presents a comfortable and safe opportunity to experience North Africa. This year’s tour followed our tried and tested route, starting in the manic city of Marrakesh at a serene hotel amongst the craziness, a quick departure to the idyllic Ourika Valley and the high snow-capped peaks of Oukameiden and the high Atlas Mountains, before descending to the stony desert around Boumalne Dades and the ochre-cast dunes of the Sahara at Erg Chebbi.

From high mountain passes with snow draped summits to stony, hamada deserts, sandy deserts, marshes, estuaries and rivers. We took advantage of many opportunities to immerse ourselves in the culture of the country. We visited souks, markets, small villages bustling with local commercial activities involving donkeys, carts, camels and we even saw a mud brick making plant and a city bakery in action. The very special desert birds thrilled us; Houbara Bustard, Desert Sparrow, Brown-necked Raven, sandgrouse, Cream- coloured Courser. Thick-billed Lark, Desert Lark and the inimitable Hoopoe Lark were all thoroughly enjoyed. We also studied scorpions, beetles, digger wasps, dragonflies, butterflies, reptiles, amphibians and endearing mammals such as Gundis, Barbary Ground Squirrels and Fat Sand Rats. The weather was idyllic. We enjoyed sunshine every day with no rain at all and calm conditions.

  • Morocco: Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert
    Birdwatching Spain http://birdwatchingspain.net/ Morocco: Atlas Mountains & Edge of the Sahara Deserts: February 26-March 5th 2022 Itinerary Day 1: Marrakech - High Atlas Mountains - Oukaimeden Meet and welcome you at Marrakech airport or hotel in Marrakech, we will drive up into the High Atlas Mountains and visit Oukaimeden (2600m). As we drive along the cultivated fields, we should find a good mix of resident species such as Southern Grey Shrike, Little Owl, Sardinian Warbler, Spotless Starling, Moroccan Magpie, Moussier's Redstart and House Bunting. Slightly higher up, among the rocky slopes, we will search for Blue Rock Thrush and the endemic Levaillant's Green Woodpecker. When we reach the ski resort at Oukaimeden, we will check the snowline for the handsome African Crimson-winged Finch. Other species here include Rock Sparrow, Alpine Chough, Black Wheatear and Atlas Horned Lark. Dinner and accommodation at the Atlas Mountains. Day 2: High Atlas Mountains - Ouarzazate - Boumalne du Dades After an early breakfast we leave the mountains behind, perhaps pausing again en route for Levaillant's Green Woodpecker. From the flat plains of Marrakech we turn back uphill, and drive to Boumalne du Dades via the Tizi-n- Tichka pass (2260 meters), a spectacular and long drive. As the road climbs into the hills, we may start to see some raptors such as Long-legged Buzzard and Bonelli's Eagle both possible. Before reaching Boumalne du Dades we'll stop in Amerzgane to look for the rare Wheatear "Maghreb Wheatear". Here we should see White-crowned Whetear and Black Wheatear too. Dinner and accommodation in Boumalne du Dades.

Hazevoet Stefan Fischer & Gérard Deloison Summary Several bird observations, supplementary to the recently published review of the avifauna of the Cape Verde Islands (Hazevoet 1995), were made during visits to the islands in 1995. Three species new to the archipelago were observed, viz. Phalaropus lobatus, Gelochelidon niloticaand Sterna maxima. Also reported here are extensions in time and space of both residents and migrant visitors. These include summer records of several species of waders, herons and Platalealeucorodia, and range extensions of resident breeding species, e.g. the first records of Alaemon alaudipes from the island of Sal.

  • 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.

Throughout history sparrows have been considered the harbinger of good or bad luck. They are referred to in many works of ancient literature and religious texts around the world. The ancient Egyptians used the sparrow symbol in their hieroglyphs to express evil tidings, the ancient Greeks associated it with Aphrodite, the goddess of love as a lustful messenger, and Jesus used sparrows as an example of divine providence in the Gospel of Matthew.

  • AERC Wplist July 2015
    AERC Western Palearctic list, July 2015 About the list: 1) The limits of the Western Palearctic region follow for convenience the limits defined in the “Birds of the Western Palearctic” (BWP) series (Oxford University Press). 2) The AERC WP list follows the systematics of Voous (1973; 1977a; 1977b) modified by the changes listed in the AERC TAC systematic recommendations published online on the AERC web site. For species not in Voous (a few introduced or accidental species) the default systematics is the IOC world bird list. 3) Only species either admitted into an "official" national list (for countries with a national avifaunistic commission or national rarities committee) or whose occurrence in the WP has been published in detail (description or photo and circumstances allowing review of the evidence, usually in a journal) have been admitted on the list. Category D species have not been admitted. 4) The information in the "remarks" column is by no mean exhaustive. It is aimed at providing some supporting information for the species whose status on the WP list is less well known than average. This is obviously a subjective criterion.

  • Trip Report: Morocco April 7-20, 2019 Audubon Society of Portland Stefan Schlick ([email protected])
    Trip Report: Morocco April 7-20, 2019 Audubon Society of Portland Stefan Schlick ([email protected]) Intro Portland’s first trip to Morocco was a full success!! We enjoyed the culture, making stops in Volubilis and Marrakech, the food including the mandatory (almost) daily tajine, stayed in truly fabulous places that you would pay $250/per night in the US and saw some pretty neat birds. Orchestrated mainly by Yeray Seminario of birdingthestraight.com who was also our guide for the trip. Yeray was wonderful, I can very much recommend him! We traveled in 2 vans without radios which was probably the worst oversight of the trip: The 22-seater that promised to us never got delivered. Oh well, we made do.. Highs, lows, notes ● Highs: ○ The colorful birds like the Hoopoe, European and Blue-cheeked Bee-eater did not disappoint. We scored on the larks and wheatear and managed to get them all. The 2 Egyptian Nightjars were among the coolest sightings we had. Of course, everybody enjoyed the Pharaoh Eagle Owls. The Cream-colored Courser and the 2 desert sandgrouse species (Spotted and Crowned) were also a wonderful experience. ○ We were able to witness migration in progress: Large circling White Stork flocks, good numbers of shorebirds, Gannets on the move up the coast and many little passerines following riparian areas along rivers in the otherwise inhospitable desert. ○ Seeing the different habitats that Morocco has to offer was a real treat. The Middle Atlas with its cedar forest, the High Atlas with snow and stark rocky alpine vistas, the lush Mediterranean areas along the north coast, witnessing how it got drier and drier as we moved inland, the rocky and sandy deserts of the interior and the impressive surf along the coast off Cape Rhir were all a fantastic experience we would not have wanted to miss.
