    A List of Birding References - Non-Passerines Joe Hobbs Version 1.1 A List of Birding References Non-Passerines Compiled by Joe Hobbs Version 1.1 Published March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Joe Hobbs All rights reserved Cover photo courtesy of Bill Byrne. Birding References, Non Passerines version 1.1 - Joe Hobbs Page 1 INTRODUCTION From 2010 to 2019 I compiled 27 lists of birding references each covering a different family group that were kindly hosted by Dutch Birding on their website, www.dutch- birding.nl. Judging by the feedback I received many birders found them to be useful, which encouraged me to maintain them with regular updates. At this point I am certain that anyone who wants one has a copy, and therefore feel the time is right to abandon the previous format and replace them with two files (i.e. one each for Passerines and Non-Passerines) that considerably extends the number of families and with an empha- sis on those papers and notes concerning bird identification, mystery photo solutions, behaviour, species profiles, species status, occurrences, first records, taxonomy, topog- raphy etc. published in birding journals. The list of references begins with the following categories: Moult & Ageing; Taxonomy; Topography, Physiology & Song; Zoogeography & Migration; Great Bird Reserves; Im- portant Bird Areas, thereafter arranged by family following the IOC world list taxonomy order (version 10.1). This note will be updated from time to time. CAUTION, PLEASE TAKE NOTE The list is far from comprehensive and should always be used in conjunction with other published and online reference resources.

Email: [email protected] Received 28 April 2010; accepted 7 September 2010 Abstract: The population and habitat preferences of the Grey Francolin Francolinus pondicerianus and Black Francolin Francolinus francolinus were studied in three different habitats in Lehri Nature Park, Jhelum, Pakistan. The populations of the two species were estimated using direct (Line transect method) and indirect methods (“calls” of the two species). Data were collected monthly from September 2008 to July 2009. The results showed average population densities of 0.47±0.09/ha and 0.06±0.01/ha for Grey and Black Francolin, respectively. A noticeably higher population was found in the morning compared to that of the evening. Maximum densities at both morning and evening were found in October 2008 with significant differences (P<0.01). Maximum seasonal populations were recorded during autumn 2008 - 0.76±0.26/ha and 0.07±0.02/ha for Grey and Black Francolins, respectively. For an assessment of the habitat preferences of the two species, relative density, relative frequency and relative dominance were calculated for trees, shrubs and herbs species in the three selected habitats.

  • Draft Environmental Assessment Evaluation of the Field Efficacy Of
    Draft Environmental Assessment Evaluation of the field efficacy of broadcast application of two rodenticides (diphacinone, chlorophacinone) to control mice (Mus musculus) in native Hawaiian conservation areas Prepared by: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office (PIFWO), Region 1 Cooperating Agencies: USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC), Hilo, Hawai’i; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Migratory Birds and Habitat Program, Pacific Region BACKGROUND In keeping with its mission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is striving to recover and restore native species and their habitats in Hawai’i. To achieve this goal it is necessary to remove invasive rodents, including mice, from large geographic areas within the state. However, some of the scientific information needed to support removal of mice from the natural environment is currently lacking. Therefore, the Service, in cooperation with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) are proposing to conduct a study at the U.S. Army Garrison, Pōhakuloa Training Area, Hawai’i to determine the response of mice to different application rates of two rodenticides: diphacinone and chlorophacinone. The Service would provide the funding for the proposed project and the NWRC would conduct the proposed study. Currently, diphacinone is the only rodenticide labeled for conservation purposes in Hawai’i. The information from the study would, if warranted by results, also be used to pursue registration for a conservation label from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for chlorophacinone. Invasive1 house mice (Mus musculus) are abundant and widespread in Hawaiian ecosystems.

To breed animals in captivity and release them in their natural control habitats is one of the conservation methods. Amongst other species partridges also breed in captivity and can be release in the wild but presently data lacking, need to examine. Chukar partridge, Black francolin and Grey francolin are used for sports hunting in Pakistan. The available record on captive breeding of Chukar partridge, Black francolin and Grey francilin and their release in the wild for the years 2015-2020 was reviewed using a developed questionnaire. Methodology: Review record of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Wildlife Department Pakistan through a developed questionnaire Findings: It was found that the maximum number of chukar partridge breed was 36, Black francolin (6) and Grey francolin (24). Out of the breeding stock, Chukar partridges (44) and Grey francolin (28) were released in the wild to its natural habitat by hard release technique.

    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 44(4), pp. 1099-1109, 2012. Food of Grey Francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus interpositus) with Remarks on Competition with Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus henrici) in Lal Suhanra National Park (Pakistan)* Waseem Ahmad Khan1 and Afsar Mian2 1F.G. Postgraduate College (Men), H-8, Islamabad 2Bioresource Research Centre, Islamabad Abstract.- Analyses of 31 crop contents of grey francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus interpositus) collected from Lal Suhanra National Park (Punjab, Pakistan) during different seasons (spring 7, summer 9, autumn 7, winter 8) contained 51 (35 plants, 16 insects) taxa, demonstrating the omnivorous and food generalist character of this species. The food was comprised of seeds (44%), leaves (7%), insects (34%), grit (11%) and unidentified material (5%). Relative representation of all food taxa remained low (>7%). Seeds were more frequent in autumn (49%) and winter (51 %) compared to spring (37%) and summer 40%), insects were in lower proportions in autumn (27%) and winter (28%) than in spring (40%) and summer (38%), and leaves were slightly higher in spring (9%) and summer (10%) than in autumn (5%) and winter (4%). Grit formed 11% of average content and exhibited significant positive regression with seed and significant negative regression with leaves and insects. Comparison of food of grey and black (F. francolinus henrici) francolins suggested similarity in types of food consumed with a group of 29 (22 plant, 7 animal) taxa consumed by both. However, 17 taxa (12 plants, 5 animals) were consumed exclusively by black francolin; and 23 (14 plants, 9 animals) were exclusively consumed by grey francolin, suggesting that these sympatric species avoid food competition under the Gause Principle.

  • Population Biology of Black Francolin (Francolinus Francolinus) with Reference to Lal Suhanra National Park, Pakistan*
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 45(1), pp. 183-191, 2013. Population Biology of Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) with Reference to Lal Suhanra National Park, Pakistan* Waseem Ahmad Khan1 and Afsar Mian2 1Animal Ecology Laboratory, Islamabad Model Postgraduate College, H-8, Islamabad 2Bioresource Research Centre, 34, Bazaar Road, G-6/4, Islamabad, Pakistan Abstract.- Transect data collected on black francolin, known as black partridge in Pakistan and India, (Francolinus francolinus) population from Lal Suhanra National Park (south Punjab, Pakistan) between 1993 and 2004 suggested that the species was present in only 6/23 stands (mainly in irrigated plantation with reed vegetation) with an average density of 8.40±1.39/km²; varying between 3.44±0.88 and 13.28±2.25/km2 in different stands. Densities were lower during winter (November–March, minimum in February) and maximum during summer (May- July), explained on population recruitment cycle, mortality and local movements. Densities were not significantly different between study years, yet these were generally lower during drought years compared to better rainfall years. Sex ratio (male/ female = 1.31) was skewed towards males. There were 0.32±0.09 young/adult female and 0.14±0.03 young/adult birds, while 2/6 stands had no young, representing non-breeding stands. Young were not observed or could not be identified separately during October-February, and the young/adult ratio was the highest in August. Dispersion index (variance/mean) of 0.60±0.09 suggests random-uniform dispersion. Group size averaged at 1.88±0.15 birds/group (range 1-5), majority of individuals appeared as singles (52.39%).

Ses populations ont été réduites principalement en raison de la chasse et de la destruction des habitats. La caractérisation de l’habitat utilisé par ces oiseaux indigènes peut optimiser les programmes futurs de réintroduction. La méthode de détection auditive a été utilisée sur des transects pour localiser les mâles chanteurs. Nous avons analysé les facteurs qui déterminent la présence du Francolin à double éperon dans le Nord-Ouest du Maroc en considérant 13 variables explicatives.
