BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) A protected species of bird is devouring rare fish in the German state of Bavaria and creating a dilemma for local officials who now want federal permission to kill birds that once appeared headed for extinction. The population of cormorants black, long-beaked fishing specialists which can stay underwater for up to 30 seconds has ballooned to over 6,000 in the Alpine state. And they are feeding on rare fish species such as grayling and pearl fish, which are unique to the region, German officials said. "The problem is that a protected bird is eating protected fish," a spokesman for the Bavarian environment ministry said this week.

These intimate images, published here for the first time, present us with a disarming array of personalities. Defying superficial interpretation and representation, Rare Birds humanizes our pop culture idols, placing them alongside equally compelling people from everyday life. Marc Jacobs is the Artistic Director for Louis Vuitton and designer for the Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs lines. He was the youngest designer ever to be awarded the Sophie Dahl was born in England and grew up in both London and New York. Dahl has been an internationally renowned model for the past ten years. She is the author of the novella The Man with the Dancing Eyes (Bloomsbury, 2003), which has been translated into many languages. Dahl has contributed to magazines and newspapers including Vogue, the Telegraph, and The Times of London, as well as the anthology Truth or Dare (Picador, 2004).

Surfbirds News Main April 26, 2005 Study of Rare Birds in Colombian Oak Forests Encouraging The Eastern Andes of Colombia is a priority area for bird conservation due to its high level of endemism combined with a lack of protected areas and limited knowledge about its biota. Four endangered species Mountain Grackle (Critical), Black Inca (Endangered), Rusty-faced Parrot (Endangered), and Gorgeted Wood-Quail (Critical) have been downgraded to Vulnerable. Of particular interest are stands of the endemic Humboldt oak, many of which have been logged. ABC, under its William Belton Small Grants Program, provided funding to ProAves Colombia to study the status of four oak forest birds, ranked by IUCN-World Conservation Union as globally Endangered or Critically Endangered. White-tipped Quetzal, Colombia, Santa Marta May 2004 © Nigel Driver The four species, Mountain Grackle (Critical), Black Inca (Endangered), Rusty-faced Parrot (Endangered), and Gorgeted Wood-Quail (Critical), depend at least seasonally on oak forests. However, between 66% and 85% of their historic ranges have now been converted to agriculture. Yet despite this dire habitat situation, the investigators turned up some encouraging results. From 151 counting points at five sites in the area, the team observed Black Inca at 27 localities, seven of which were previously unknown; Rusty-faced Parrot was found at 29 localities; Mountain Grackle was found at 22 localities; and Gorgeted Wood-Quail was detected at 20 localities – more than were initially expected.

Sketches are helpful to rare-bird documentation. Even the crudest of drawings by individuals professing little or no artistic abilities can later be an integral part of the record. This Fork-tailed Flycatcher ( Tyrannus savana ) was seen at Ricardo, Kleberg County, Texas, in late December 1988. Preparing for Field Observations Look Beyond Field Marks Size nevertheless can be determined fairly accurately from a photograph of a bird next to some object that can be measured. Louisiana's first Great Black backed Gull (Larus mariyius, LBRC no.82-5) was photographed on a pier piling (Figure 3). To determine the size of the gull, one of the observers subsequently swam out to the piling and measured its diameter. This allowed a fairly exact calculation of the bird's size to confirm identification. A more precise measurement was that obtained for the first record of Green Violet-ear (Colibri thalassinus) from Arkansas. The bird was photographed at a hummingbird feeder (American Birds 1986, 40:128). The bird's bill length was obtained by measuring a plastic "flower" on the feeder and then extrapolating to determine a value for the bill. The measurement was able to clinch the identification of Green Violet-ear, separating it from the very similar, but distinctly larger, Sparkling Violet-ear (C. coruscans).

This Fork-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus savana) was seen at Ricardo, Kleberg County, Texas, in late December 1988. Birders now generate many of today's data on species' distributions and field-identification aspects of North American ornithology. Most professional ornithologists recognize that the large volume of data generated by birders, especially that involving extralimital records, cannot and should not be ignored just because most of it is not based on specimen evidence. There has been considerable debate, however, over what sorts of other documentation are acceptable. In recent years, rare-bird committees (RBCs) have been formed in most states, provinces, and many foreign countries (Roberson 1990) to help bridge the gap between specimen and non-specimen records. RBCs are composed of experienced amateur and professional ornithologists. The RBC process includes acquisition and protection of rare-bird documentation, evaluation by a panel of knowledgeable peers, and publication of proceedings. Many RBCs that must limit the volume of records they receive (or be overwhelmed) compile a
