ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to revise the List of Migratory Birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) by both adding and removing species. Reasons for the changes to the list include adding species based on new taxonomy and new evidence of natural occurrence in the United States or U.S. territories, removing species no longer known to occur within the United States or U.S. territories, and changing names to conform to accepted use. The net increase of 59 species (66 added and 7 removed) would bring the total number of species protected by the MBTA to 1,085. We regulate the taking, possession, transportation, sale, purchase, barter, exportation, and importation of migratory birds. An accurate and up-to-date list of species protected by the MBTA is essential for public notification and regulatory purposes. DATES: We will accept comments received or postmarked on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. Comments submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 11:59 p.m.

  • Hawaiian Birds 1972*
    HAWAIIAN BIRDS 1972* ANDREW J. BERGER More kinds (species and subspecies) of birds have become extinct in Hawaii than on all continents’ of the world combined. These endemic Hawaiian birds have become ex- tinct since 1844l, and most of them have succumbed since the 1890s. Table 1 lists the endemic Hawaiian birds which are presumed to be extinct. Moreover, Hawaiian birds account for nearly one-half of the birds in the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlifes’ Red Book of rare and endangered species. The follow- ing list contains 16 of the rare and endangered Hawaiian birds: Newells’ Manx Shear- water (Puffinus puffinus newel&), Hawaiian Dark-rumped Petrel (Pterodroma phaeo- pygia sandwichensis), Harcourt s’ Storm Petrel (Oceanodroma Castro cryptoleucura), Nene or Hawaiian Goose (Branta sandvicensis), Koloa or Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana) , Laysan Duck (Anus laysanensis) , Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius) , Hawaiian Gallinule (Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) , Hawaiian Coot (Fulica ameri- cana alai), Hawaiian Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus himantopus knudseni), Hawaiian Crow (Corvus tropicus), Large Kauai Thrush (Phaeornis obscurus myadestina), Molo- kai Thrush (Phaeornis o. rutha), Small Kauai Thrush (Phaeornis palmeri), Nihoa Millerbird (Acrocephalus familiaris kingi), and the Kauai 00 (Moho braccetus). TO this list may be added the non-migratory Hawaiian population of the Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax n. hoactli). But, there are even more endangered Hawaiian birds!

  • (Family Drepanididae) Have Received C
    J. Yamashina Inst. Ornith., 14: 81-85, 1982 Pterylosis of Some Hawaiian Honeycreepers, Drepanididae Andrew J. Berger* Abstract This paper describes and illustrates the feather tracts in three species of Hawaiian Honeycreepers: Nihoa Finch, Amakihi, and Apapane. The author believes, with others , that the ancestor for the honeycreepers was a cardueline finch, and that this ancestor probably reached the Hawaiian Islands from Asia, and not from North or Central America. Honeycreeper Feather Tracts The endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers (family Drepanididae) have received con- siderable attention during the past decade (Eddinger 1970, Sibley 1970, Richards & Bock 1973, Raikow 1976, van Riper 1980, Berger 1981, Sibley & Ahlquist 1982). However, very little has been published about the pterylosis of this family. Gadow (1890-1899) discussed briefly and illustrated portions of the feather tracts of several species: Palila (Loxiodes bailleui), Kauai Akialoa (Hemignathus procerus), and Kauai Creeper (Oreomystis bairdi). Van Tyne & Berger (1976: 133) illustrated the dorsal feather tracts of the Apapane (Himatione sanguinea). In this paper I present figures of the dorsal and ventral feather tracts of three honeycreepers that Pratt (1979) and Berger (1981) placed in three tribes or subfamilies of this group: Nihoa Finch (Telespyza ultima; subfamily Psittirostrinae), Hawaii Amakihi (Hemignathus virens; subfamily Hemignathinae), and Apapane (Himatione sanguinea, subfamily Drepanidinae). Alar tract. There are nine secondaries, the innermost being the smallest and shortest (Figures 1A, B, C). There are nine functional primaries; the tenth primary is rudimentary and is called a remicle. In the Amakihi, for example, the tenth primary is only 5mm in length, whereas the ninth primary is 47mm long; in one specimen of the extinct Hawaii Akialoa (Hemignathus o.

They were traditionally classified as a family of their own (Drepanididae), but more recently as a subfamily (AOU 1983, 1998) of Carduelinae, and now a branch embedded within the Carduelinae (Zuccon et al. 2012, Chesser et al. 2013). Along with Darwin’s finches of the Galapagos, they are the “textbook example” of insular adaptive radiation. With species that span and even expand the full range of passerine variation (Ziegler 2002, H. D. Pratt 2005, 2010b; T. K. Pratt et al. 2009), their classification holds interest well beyond their geographic distribution and beyond interest in other cardueline taxonomy. Unfortunately, the alpha taxonomy (Table 1) of the Hawaiian honeycreepers has been rather confusing. In fact, the only names for Hawaiian carduelines that have remained unchanged and unambiguous over time are the English 2 PRATT Occas. Pap. ones derived as loan words from Hawaiian, making familiarity with those names a prerequisite for understanding the technical literature or making sense of taxonomic turbulence.

  • Dysmorodrepanis Munroi (Fringillidae: Drepanidini), a Valid Genus and Species of Hawaiian Finch
    THE WILSON BULLETIN A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ORNITHOLOGY Published by the Wilson Ornithological Society VOL. 101, No. 2 JUNE 1989 PAGES 159-367 Wilson Bull., 101(2), 1989, pp. 159-179 DYSMORODREPANIS MUNROI (FRINGILLIDAE: DREPANIDINI), A VALID GENUS AND SPECIES OF HAWAIIAN FINCH HELEN F. JAMES, RICHARD L. ZUSI, AND STORRSL. OLSON’ ABSTRACT.-A Hawaiian finch that became extinct on the island of Lanai sometime after 1913 has been overlooked by ornithologists.Only one skin specimen of this bird was ever procured,and althoughit was describedas the holotype of Dysmorodrepanis munroi Perkins, it soon fell into obscurityand was written off as a deformed example of Psittirostrapsittacea. Our re-preparation and examination of the holotype indicatesit is a valid genusand species. Dysmorodrepanis is probably most closely related to Psittirostra psittacea, and is distin- guishedby its unusualbill and associatedmodifications of the jaw apparatus,as well as by the plumage and external dimensions of the holotype. We speculate that the diastema between the bird’s tomia may have allowed the bill tips to act as pincers. Received 8 Oct. 1987, accepted 7 July 1988. Considerably after R. C. L. Perkins completed his major contributions to the natural history of the Hawaiian Islands, he introduced a new genus and species of bird, Dysmorodrepanis munroi (Perkins 19 19), based on a single specimen collected by G. C. Munro on the island of Lanai in 19 13. This is the only Hawaiian bird that Perkins formally named as new, despite his having made one of the most scholarly and original contributions to Hawaiian ornithology (Perkins 1903).

Dedication To the naturalists and scientists who have contributed to our understanding of the biology and ecology of Hawaiian forest birds. Revised Recovery Plan for Hawaiian Forest Birds i GUIDE TO RECOVERY PLAN ORGANIZATION This recovery plan provides individual species accounts and actions needed Statewide for the recovery of 21 taxa of forest birds in Hawai`i. The plan covers a group of species for which the threats and limiting factors are similar, and for which similar actions are needed for recovery. Many of the recovery actions apply across the identified recovery areas for each species. In other cases the plan identifies specific land parcels where a particular recovery action is needed. Section I, the Introduction, provides an overview of the causes for decline of the Hawaiian forest birds and the current threats, ongoing conservation efforts, and general recovery strategies for the species covered by this plan. The Species Accounts in Section II summarize the available information on the taxonomy, life history, habitat requirements, current and historical ranges, population status, reasons for decline and current threats, and species-specific conservation efforts and recovery strategies.
