{"title":"Long-Term Movement Patterns for Seven Species of Wading Birds","authors":"S. Melvin, D. Gawlik, T. Scharff","doi":"10.2307/1522117","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1522117","url":null,"abstract":"-We obtained banding and recovery records from 1914 through 1994 for seven species of wading birds from the Bird Banding Laboratory, United States Geological Survey, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. We analyzed these data to evaluate differences in dispersal distance and frequency of dispersal movement among species. All records were from birds banded as juveniles and recovered at least five months later between March and July, which is the breeding season in most regions of North America. Focusing on recoveries during the breeding season reduced the chance that movements were related to migration rather than dispersal. When an individual was banded and recovered in the same ten-minute block of latitude and longitude, a movement distance of zero km was recorded. The frequency of zero-distance records provides an indication of breeding site fidelity for each species at a spatial resolution of ten minutes. Our results showed that mean dispersal distance was greatest for the Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea; 1148 km) followed by Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus; 1142 km), Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor 1019 km), Great Egret (Casmerodius albus; 909 km), Snowy Egret (Egretta thula; 837 km), Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias; 758 km), and White Ibis (Eudocimus albus; 545 km). Species which dispersed large distances also exhibited fewer zero-distance records, indicating greater movement frequency. The White Ibis has been classified as a nomad, at one end of a continuum defined by low breeding site-fidelity and several life history traits associated with unpredictable foraging habitat. We found that White Ibises were indeed recovered at new locations the majority (76%) of the time but that the other six species of wading birds we examined were even more likely to move to different sites during subsequent breeding seasons. Movement distance and site fidelity will both likely affect whether a response to habitat restoration is due to immigration or local reproduction. Although an increase in total birds using a restored habitat may be an indication of increased habitat quality, caution should be used in inferring population changes without understanding reproduction, mortality, and movement of individuals using restored habitats.

Black-crowned Night Herons, the dominant breeders in the colony, preferred mangroves and fishponds, while Cattle Egrets made most use of freshwater marsh and abandoned paddy fields. Cattle Egrets showed the highest use of feeding habitats outside the Inlet. In both years, Cattle Egrets made the longest median flights at both high and low tides. Black-crowned Night Herons made the shortest flights at high tide in both years while Great Egrets and Black-crowned Night Herons flew the shortest distance at low tide in 1997 and 1998, respectively. In both years, Great and Little egrets flew farther at high tide, when nearby shallow waters were too deep for feeding. Foraging flight distances varied significantly between years only for Cattle Egrets. More Black-crowned Night Herons and Cattle Egrets were involved in group flights. The feeding habitats in Starling Inlet supported far more breeding ardeids than expected for their area, probably because of their high productivity. The short foraging flight distances of Black-crowned Night Herons may reduce foraging costs and help explain the dominance of this species in the colony. Conservation of all wetland feeding habitats in Starling Inlet will be necessary to maintain the present size and diversity of nesting ardeid populations.

Jones","doi":"10.2307/1522115","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1522115","url":null,"abstract":"-We studied food resource use by two similar seabird species, Common (Uria aalge) and Thick-billed murres (U. lomvia), breeding sympatrically at the Gannet Islands, Labrador, to examine the overlap in their chicks' diet and thus to indirectly evaluate whether the two species were in competition for food. We used Monte Carlo randomization to establish whether murre chick diet overlap in 1996 and 1997 were greater than would be expected by chance. Diet overlap was higher than 75% in both years and was not lower than that predicted by the null model. To determine whether the two murre species' chick food resource use converged in ways other than diet composition, we compared timing of breeding, sizes of fish delivered to chicks, maximum dive depths and diurnal feeding patterns. In both years, the murres' chick-rearing periods overlapped almost exactly. The size of the principal item in their chicks' diets did not differ significantly. During one of two all-day feeding watches in 1997, the murres' chick-feeding peaks were concurrent, but during the other they were not. In 1997, foraging Common and Thickbilled murres dove to similar maximum depths. Taken together, these results suggest that chick food resource partitioning might have been negligible between Common and Thick-billed murres breeding at the Gannet Islands in 1996 and 1997.

González","doi":"10.2307/1522210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1522210","url":null,"abstract":"-Between August 1996 andJune 1998 I monitored the harvest of wild birds in 17 rural settlements located in the surroundings of Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve (NE Peruvian Amazon). At least 47 species of birds were hunted for food in the area, 15 of which were waterbirds. Anhingas (Anhinga anhinga), Muscovy Ducks (Cairina moschata), Olivaceous Cormorants (Phalacrocorax olivaceus) and Cocoi Herons (Ardea cocoi) were the most commonly harvested waterbirds. Censuses of non-breeding birds conducted during 1998 in three areas of heavy hunting pressure (close to villages) and three areas of low hunting pressure (inside the protected reserve) did not show significant differences. The collection of bird eggs is also common in the study area. I recorded the use of eggs of 22 species of birds, of which the Great Egret (Casmerodius albus), Cocoi Heron, Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) and Agami Heron (Agamia agami) were the most commonly harvested. Most of the egg-harvesting took place in two large mixed-species heronries and was done by people from the villages of Padre L6pez and Nueva Cajamarca. The number of heron eggs taken from these colonies ranged from ca. 6,200 in 1996 to only 220 in 1998. In 1998, human disturbance during early stages of nesting caused the total abandonment of the colony at Padre L6pez, whereas egg-harvesting during the laying period probably caused the abandonment of the colony at Nueva Cajamarca by Agami Herons. All the evidence suggests that human disturbance is severely affecting heronries and may represent a major threat for wading birds in the study area. Received 10 February 1999, accepted 7 May 1999.
