Two active colonies were surveyed: in a mangrove (</span></span><i style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">Avicennia germinans</i><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">;</span><i style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;"> Rhizophora mangle</i><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">) estuary and on a nearshore desert island. Thirteen species of nesting wading birds were recorded, 11 of which are year-round residents and two occurring only during the breeding season; two additional species were documented only in migration. The most abundant species was the Snowy Egret (</span><i style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">Egretta thula</i><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">), which had a peak of 234 nests in 2012. Of particular conservation interest is the Reddish Egret (</span><i style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">E. rufescens</i><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">), which had a peak of 149 nests in 2012. Potential prey of wading birds in the estuary was also sampled, with special focus on brachyuran crabs, which constitute the main prey items of the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (</span><i style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">Nyctanassa violacea</i><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, Palatino, serif; font-size: 1em;">). The rapid development of the region, and especially the establishment of largescale mariculture operations along Estero Santa Cruz, has the potential to impact local wading bird populations, and thus an understanding of wading bird diversity, abundance and habitat use may prove critical to inform future management and conservation initiatives.</span></div>

It is the subject of an article in the current issue of <a href="http://www.bioone.org/toc/cowa/38/3">Waterbirds</a>. The Rufous-throated Dipper lives along rapid rocky streams in the Andes in Bolivia and Argentina at 800 m to 2500 m in elevation. The bird breeds in the alder zone at 1500 m to 2500 m in elevation. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BirdLife_International">BirdLife International</a> have classified this species as "Vulnerable". Threats included reservoir construction, hydroelectric dams, and irrigation schemes. The current population is estimated at 3,000 to 4,000 individuals.</div>
The <b>Rufous-throated Dipper</b> (<i>Cinclus schulzi</i>) is an endemic and threatened bird that inhabits the mountain rivers of southern Yungas of Argentina and Bolivia. This is the rarest and least known species of the genus, in part because of its restricted distribution. The aim of this study was to describe the nests and nest sites of the Rufous-throated Dipper in mountain rivers of northwestern Argentina. Five rivers were surveyed in transects of 3 to 6 km long from 2010 to 2013. The shape, size, substrate and building material of nests and nest and non-nest characteristics were assessed and compared in plots of 2 by 2 m. Plots with nests were compared to non-nesting plots for a number of habitat characteristics. Most nests found (78.57%; n = 28) had a globular shape, were attached to rocky substrates and were built using moss. The height of nests above the water level (P = 0.02), slope (P = 0.03) and watercourse width (P < 0.01) varied among rivers. Plots at nest sites had significantly higher values of some habitat characteristics than non-nesting plots, including emergent rocks (P < 0.01), slope (P < 0.02), greater number of rapids (P < 0.01), number of pools (P < 0.01), water velocity (P < 0.05), and river depth (P < 0.01), but had narrower watercourse width (P < 0.01). Previously, the understanding of the breeding ecology of the Rufous-throated Dipper was based only on anecdotal evidence. </div>

</b><br /><b><i>Abstract: Interregional comparisons of Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) ecology and life history: The tools, the data, and implications for conservation and management </i></b><br />Motivated by declining populations in the North American Great Lakes, we have intensively studied breeding colonies of Common Terns in Lake Ontario and across the region since 2008. Discovering unanticipated differences in ecology and life history of species at inland colonies, we also undertook studies of regional population genetics and pioneered an expedition to assess the status and ecology of supposed large inland populations in the lakes of Manitoba. Here we report comparative ecological and demographic studies between Common Terns nesting in inland North America and those from coastal colonies of North America and Europe. We present novel findings for age at first reproduction, population structure, condition-specific survival, breeding success, chick development, habitat selection, and responses to heat stress, disease, predation and human disturbance. In the process, we detail a range of novel and remote field technology for waterbird research that we developed to minimize researcher disturbance and obtain difficult-to-get data. These include automated perches for resighting of banded birds without need for trapping or handling, leg-mounted temperature sensors to quantify thermal stress and behavior at the microhabitat level, and nest-based temperature and heart-rate monitors to elucidate the behavioral and physiological impacts of disturbance. Our results are put in the context of appropriate conservation strategies and how management approaches can and should be tailored to account for site specific differences and intraspecific variability across regions. </span></div>

<i>Abstract: Big Oil, Big Ocean, Big Questions.</i></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Public transparency and environmental information are prerequisite for citizen awareness and understanding and for conservation considerations. Yet, in the world’s oceans, restricted, filtered and distorted information from multi-national hydro-carbon corporations and developmentally- conflicted regulatory regimes preclude adequate assessment of seabird mortality, platform pollution and disturbance. Lack of public environmental information creates Type II Error scenarios in which no information is interpreted as no problem, when in fact there is simply no information, or worse distorted information. In the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, the Newfoundland Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board prevents access to environmental information which the public and independent scientists should be entitled. Examples of these design failures and information distortion will be presented with recommendations for improved seabird monitoring, research and marine conservation. </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abstract: The contribution of long-term studies of Oystercatchers to science and conservation.</span></i></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The behavioural choices of individuals, like recruitment, risk-taking and feeding of nestlings, determine demographic rates and thus population processes. At the same time, the costs and benefits of particular behavioural choices depend on these population processes. It is from this Darwinian perspective that I have been studying the behavioural ecology and population dynamics of Eurasian Oystercatchers <i>Haematopus ostralegus</i> for the last 35 years. The Oystercatcher is a very good study species because it is a large bird living in an open habitat where it feeds on relatively large prey that can be monitored with little effort. The birds are easily marked and their high site fidelity allows the social career of individuals to be followed throughout their lives. However, the longevity of the species (it may live over 40 years) means that it requires perseverance to obtain the necessary measurements, i.e. keep the population study running. During winter, individuals compete for food. During summer, individuals compete for high quality territories and high quality mates. We understand much about the social career during the breeding season and the social career during the nonbreeding season, but we know very little about how these two careers are linked. <br /><br />As I now see it, the aim is to unify three partial descriptions of Oystercatcher society in terms of competition, each accompanied by their own body of theory: Distribution theories describe the access of individual animals to limiting resources in space. Life-history theory describes the access of individual animals to limiting resources in the course of their life, and how these resources are allocated to survival and reproduction Mating systems theory describes the access of individual animals to partners as a resource limiting reproduction. The queue model, which postulates a trade-off for nonbreeders between settling at an early age in a poor quality territory and at a later age in a high quality territory, links distribution theory to life-history theory. The initial queue model, where it was assumed that there were no major differences between individuals was proven wrong: chicks from high quality territories have a much higher chance to recruit into high quality territories compared to chicks from low quality territories. This silver-spoon effect has a long-term impact on fitness that increases over generations. <br /><br />A major challenge to our current efforts to further improve the queue model is that the world is changing. The long-term population study on Schiermonnikoog shows that the expected increase in mean winter temperature will halt the current population decline, as does the expected decrease in variability in temperature. However, changing wind patterns have led to an increase in the risk of flooding during the breeding season, which offsets the expected benefit of warmer winters. Our long-term population is not the only one in decline: nearly everywhere in the Netherlands wintering and breeding populations are declining at an alarming rate since the late 1980s. A multitude of causes have been identified. In summer these include agricultural intensification (inland breeding populations), increased flooding during the breeding season (saltmarsh breeding populations) and increased predation (mainland saltmarshes). In winter, when all birds depend on tidal flats, these include: shellfish fishery, erosion of tidal flats (Oosterschelde) and colonization of mussel beds by the introduced Pacific oyster. Our aim is to construct a metapopulation model to assess the relative contribution and cumulative impact of all these factors on the population decline. For this, we rely heavily on citizen science, where we initiated volunteers to set up colour marking programs throughout the Netherlands, and developed a website where volunteer observers could input their observations of colour-marked individuals. </span><br />

<br />The <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/16/703">Migratory Bird Treaty Act</a> prohibits capturing killing, selling, or otherwise endangering the well-being of migratory birds. It has rescued numerous species, including the snowy egret, which was hunted to the brink of extinction in the late 1800s but now has a U.S. population of more than a million today. Like all laws, this act is imperfect—for example, it <a href="http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1584&context=wmelpr">contains no explicit exception</a> for socially or economically vital activities that incidentally harm a small number of animals. However, because of smart management of the law and prosecutorial discretion, it has remained on the books for nearly a century with few changes. Undoing a law of such historical pedigree should be discussed and debated at length, but instead the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is at risk of being gutted with very little deliberation. Last week, Representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina inserted <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider_(legislation)">a rider</a>, a type of amendment, into the budget for Commerce, Justice and Science that would prevent federal prosecutors from enforcing the migratory bird law. While it may not pass—riders get inserted and then dropped in a lot of legislation—it could also make it through and render the Migratory Bird Treaty Act a dead letter. The move is the latest in a string of attacks on the act in recent years. In 2012, Representative Duncan <a href="http://jeffduncan.house.gov/press-release/jeff-duncan-has-true-%E2%80%9Call-above-approach-energy%E2%80%9D">proposed reducing fines</a> for all energy producers that kill non-endangered migratory birds. In January, he introduced a bill to <a href="http://www.martenlaw.com//sites/default/files/pdfs/energy-policy-reform-bird-protection-laws.pdf">exempt all energy companies</a> from prosecution for accidental killing of birds protected under the act.<br /><br /><u>Suggested text for people to write to their senators about the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the attempt by the current congress to block its enforcement. </u><br /><br /><i>Dear Senator: Please vote against the appropriations bill for Commerce Justice and Related Agencies unless the rider that blocks enforcement of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (Amdt 347) is removed from the bill. The MBTA is one of our most important wildlife protection laws and this rider would allow people to kill wild birds without any penalty whatsoever. Our wild bird populations are already under great pressure and many are in severe decline. Please do not block the USFWS from enforcing this important law that protects our wild bird populations.</i><br /><br /><div>

<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">The song of the Common Loon (Gavia Immer) is one of the most evacuative of many areas of North America: spring would not be the same without this amazing song caring over northern lakes. Using a custom-designed microphone array to collect landscape-scale recordings, Dan Mennill's bioacoustic analyses focused on understanding how their vocal output varied with time of day, time of year, and in response to variation in weather. Common Loons showed significant diel variation in vocal output, producing more wail, yodel, and tremolo calls at night than during the day; the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">wail, yodel, and tremolo calls transmit significantly farther at night than during the day.

Fijn, Peter W. van Horssen, Debby Gerritsen-Davidse and Theunis Piersma. </i></b><span style="color: #58595b; line-height: 20.607999801635742px;"><a href="http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.1675/063.037.0205" target="_blank">37(2):162-174. 2014</a></span></span><br />

<div class="searchAuthor" style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By 2013, six of 27 Black Terns (<i>Chlidonias niger</i>) from four Dutch colonies that had received light level geolocators in 2010–2011 had been recaptured. All six recovered individuals migrated to West Africa, but whereas one individual flew there nonstop, the others made stops of varying length <i>en route</i>. These included flights of 2,000–6,000 km between major stopovers, achieving travel speeds over 1,000 km/day. This paper showed that Black Terns are long-distance migrants with substantial individual variation in migration patterns, including the use of staging sites, stopover times and travel distances. The variation in itineraries may imply that the distribution of the marine resources they rely on are relatively unpredictable. It remains to be seen whether the variability seen here reflects differences in otherwise fixed individual strategies or whether Black Terns are truly highly flexible.</span></div>

In the <a href="http://www.bioone.org/toc/cowa/37/4" target="_blank">December<span style="color: #993322;"> 2104</span></a> issue, this study examined the </span><span style="line-height: 20.607999801635742px;">timing of breeding on counts of five shorebird species during transect surveys at East Bay, Nunavut, Canada, from 2000 to 2010. The species were: </span>Black-bellied Plover (<span style="font-style: italic;">Pluvialis squatarola</span>),
Semipalmated Plover (<span style="font-style: italic;">Charadrius semipalmatus</span>), Ruddy
Turnstone (<span style="font-style: italic;">Arenaria interpres</span>), White-rumped Sandpiper (<span style="font-style: italic;">Calidris fuscicollis</span>) and Red Phalarope (<span style="font-style: italic;">Phalaropus
fulicarius</span>). <span style="line-height: 20.607999801635742px;">Transect counts varied widely among species and years, and transect counts were most strongly predicted by the density of nests found during more intensive surveys. However, after accounting for this variation, survey counts were influenced substantially by survey timing. Surveys carried out shortly after the median date of nest initiation (∼2 days after) corresponded most closely to the densities of found nests, and if surveys were not within several days of the median date, the discrepancy between the two estimates was large. Although neither nest densities nor transect surveys are believed to be a perfect indication of local population status, these results suggest that the nearly inevitable variation in survey timing could introduce </span><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 20.607999801635742px;">substantial bias into density estimates.</span><span style="font-size: x-small; line-height: 20.607999801635742px;"><img alt="Full Access" class="accessIcon fullAccess" src="http://www.bioone.org/templates/jsp/_style2/_AP/_bioone/images/access_full.gif" style="border: none;" title="Full Access" /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">RED KNOT LISTING</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced federal protection for a subspecies of the Red Knot (<i>Calidris canutus rufa</i>), designating it as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. A “threatened” designation means a species is at risk of becoming endangered throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

In the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9q2xawok95bbs7l/TOC%2037.1pdf.pdf" target="_blank">March 2104</a> issue, this study </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;">examined the distribution and abundance of 54 waterbird species from 1992
to 2010 in six intensively used and managed estuarine waterbodies, in South Africa. Ducks and grebes were more abundant in low salinity deeper
waterbodies, while waders, cormorants and gulls were more abundant in high
salinity shallow waterbodies. Higher quantity and quality of food sources attract
herbivorous waterbirds to saline lakes rather than estuaries. Water depth
variability influences accessibility of feeding areas, with decreased
variability in water levels increasing habitat suitability for herbivores, and reduced
open periods in the estuaries decreasing habitat suitability for waders. Turbidity
did not significantly influence the distribution of waterbirds, whereas disturbance
from human activities and vegetation of sandbanks were considered to be important
factors. </span></span></h3>

foraging trips and documenting their preference for particular areas was the focus. During
the last decade, the use of new devices, such as Global Positioning System
(GPS) devices and geo-locator loggers, has allowed researchers to perform more
investigations of this type. GPS devices were used on Wedge-tailed Shearwaters
(<i>Puffinus pacificus</i>) breeding on Aride Island, Seychelles, to identify
the main foraging areas used. Thirteen foraging trips were recorded, 61.5% of
which lasted one day. The identification of key marine conservation areas, like
those identified in this study, is a priority for designating marine Important
Bird Areas and identifying habitat management measures. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jb2yuf1ftga1biz/Cecere%20et%20al.pdf" target="_blank">F</a>ree access to article.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Waterbird Society publishes the results of scientific research in a refereed, international journal, formerly called <em>Colonial Waterbirds</em>. In 1999, the journal became<em>Waterbirds</em> to reflect the society’s expanded focus on all aquatic birds and their habitats. The journal is open to submitted papers concerning the biology, conservation, and techniques of study of the world’s waterbirds including seabirds, wading birds, shorebirds, and waterfowl (<a href="http://www.waterbirds.org/">http://www.waterbirds.org</a>)</div>

In the September 2013 issue of Waterbirds, the influence of
wind turbines on inland shorebirds is documented. In addition, the Waterbirds
September issue documents recent advances in the understanding of long-distance
migration using satellite and radio geolocators. Technological advances often
spawn new discoveries, and this is certainly true of avian migration. <a href="http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.1675/063.036.0304">http://www.bioone.org/doi/full/10.1675/063.036.0304</a><o:p></o:p></div>
