  • Age-Related Differences in Ruddy Turnstone Foraging and Aggressive Behavior
    AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN RUDDY TURNSTONE FORAGING AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR SARAH GROVES ABSTRACT.--Theforaging behavior of fall migrant Ruddy Turnstoneswas studiedon the Mas- sachusettscoast on 2 different substrates,barnacle-covered rocks and sand and weed-litteredflats. Foragingrates differedsignificantly between the 2 substrates.On eachsubstrate the foragingand successrates of adults and juveniles differed significantly while the frequenciesof successwere similarfor both age-classes.The observeddifferences in foragingrates of adultsand juvenilesmay be due to the degreeof refinementof foragingtechniques. Experience in searchingfor and handling prey may be a primary factor accountingfor thesedifferences, and foragingperformance probably improves with age and experience.Alternatively, the differencesmay be due to the presenceof inefficient juveniles that do not survive to adulthood. Both adultsand juveniles in the tall-depressedposture were dominant in aggressiveinteractions much morefrequently than birds in the tall-levelposture. In mixedflocks of foragingadult and juvenile turnstones,the four possibletypes of aggressiveinteractions occurred nonrandomly. Adult over juvenile interactionsoccurred more frequently than expected,and juvenile over adult interac- tions were never seen.A tentative explanationof this phenomenonmay be that juveniles misinter- pret or respondambivalently to messagesconveyed behaviorally by adultsand thusbecome espe- cially vulnerableto aggressionby adults.The transiencyof migrantsmade it unfeasibleto evaluate

Although free-flying ducks and geese have been extensively monitored for APMV, limited information is available for species in the order Charadriiforrnes. From 2000 to 2005 we tested cloacal swabs from 9,128 shorebirds and gulls (33 species, five families) captured in 10 states within the USA and in three countries in the Caribbean and South America. Avian paramyxoviruses were isolated from 60 (0.7%) samples by inoculation of embryonating chicken eggs; isolates only included APMV-1 and APMV-2.

  • Bird Observations in Siriuspasset, North Greenland, 2016 and 2017
    Bird observations in Siriuspasset, North Greenland, 2016 and 2017 WON YOUNG LEE (Med et dansk resumé: Fugleobservationer i Siriuspasset, Nordgrønland, 2016 og ’17) Abstract During the summer seasons of 2016 and 2017, bird observations were recorded near Siriuspasset in Nansen Land, North Greenland. Breeding birds were surveyed in a 9 km2 area. Wader populations were dense compared to other sites in North and Northeast Greenland, and Red Phalarope Phalaropus fulicarius and Lapland Longspur Calca- rius lapponicus were found to breed far north of their previously known distributions in Greenland.

    Reproductionand Survivalin a Declining Population of the Southern Dunlin Calidris alpina schinzii Paul Eric J6nsson J6nsson,P.E. 1991.Reproduction and Survival in a DecliningPopulation of theSouthern Dunlin Calidrisalpina schinzii. Wader Study Group Bulletin 61, Supplement: 56-68. Reproductivesuccess and survival was studied in a declining population of theSouthern Dunlin in SW Sk,Sne,SSweden, in 1981-1986.Hatching success was low; on average only 30% of clutches hatched, dueto intense nest-predation from mainly Crows, Foxes and mustelids. Some nests (8%) were also lostby tramplingfrom grazing animals. Within a season,there was no significantdifference in hatchingsuccess between early and late clutches, but the overall annual hatching success was higher in yearswith an early onset of breeding.On average,the Dunlins yearly produced 0.3 - 0.4 hatched young/adult.Fledging success was estimated at36% and survival from fledging tothe age of one year at56%. Adult survival, estimated from rerum rates, averaged 89% in males and 77% in females (83% of thesexes combined). The sex-relateddifference in return-ratesbelieved to reflecta loweractuai survivalrate in females, assuggested bythe male-skewed sex-ratio inthe population. The average life expectancyfor an adult Dunlin is estimated at5.4 years and the mean longevity at7.4 years. Survival tendedto decrease with increasing age (up to 5 yearsafter ringing). The oldest bird recorded in the studywas 17 yearsold. The observed reproductive rate was found to be insufficientto maintaina stablepopulation and unless nest-predation issignificantly reduced, the Dunlin will become extinct in SW Sl•ne within20 to 30 years.

WaderStudy Group Bull. 85:29-34 On Chukotka,the breedinggrounds of the subspeciessakhalina, the primarymoult of Dunlin Calidrisalpina startsin mid-June,at the beginningof theincubation period, and birds migrate southward from thebeginning of August,when the moultis almostcomplete. On Kamchatka(kistchinski) and Sakhalin(actites), where breeding takes place earlier, primary moult startsin July,in the chick rearing period,or evenlater. Thesedifferences between northern and southern populations are similarto thosefound previously in Alaska (Holmes1971). The timing of theseevents is not strictlyrelated to latitude; it is thoughtthat, with localvariations, latitudinal differencesin datesof breedingand primary moult are brought about through subspecific characteristics.

  • Peeps and Related Sandpipers Peeps Are a Group of Diminutive Sandpipers That Are Notoriously Hard to Tell Apart
    Peeps and Related Sandpipers Peeps are a group of diminutive sandpipers that are notoriously hard to tell apart. They belong to a subfamily of subarctic and arctic nesting sandpipers known as the Calidridinae (in the sandpiper family, Scolopacidae). During their migrations, when most residents of North America have the opportunity to watch them, mixed flocks of calidridine sandpipers scurry about on mudflats, feeding at the edge of the retreating tide, or swarm aloft, twisting and turning like a dense school of fish. These traits, in a group of birds that look so much alike to start with, give bird watchers nightmares. Fortunately for Alaskans and visitors to our state, Alaska is an excellent location to view and identify calidridine sandpipers. The early summer breeding season is the easiest time of the year to distinguish the various species, not only because they are in breeding plumage and are more approachable than at other times of the year, but also because each species performs a characteristic courtship display with unique vocalizations. For the avid birder, Alaska has the additional attraction of being one of the best places in North America to view exotic Eurasian species. General description: Three peeps are abundant summer residents and breeders in Alaska—the least, semipalmated, and western sandpipers (Calidris minutilla, C. pusilla, and C. mauri) [all lists in order by size]. Another four species from Eurasia may also be seen—the little, rufous-necked, Temminck's, and long-toed stints (“stint” is the British equivalent for peep) (C. minuta, C. ruficollis, C. temminckii, C. subminuta). These seven species range from 5 to 6½ inches (15-17 cm) in length, and weigh from 2/3 to 1½ ounces (17-33 g).
