ABSTRACT. Monitoring or the s horebirds in Diamante Branco saline, Galinhos, Rio Grand e do Norte, Brazil. Monitoring of the shorebirds oflhe Diamante Branco saline located at the municipality of Galinhos, in the coast of the State ofRi o Grande do Norte, was initiated in 1998, with qualitati ve surveys, bird traps using mist net, captured and banding and field observations o n the diet of some species. Parameters such as constancy were verified, specific diversity was calculated through Pearson correlation. We regi stered 2 1 species of shorebird s, as fo ll ows: Pluvialis squatarola (Linnaeus, 1758) (Kellog, 1996) in the first hours ofthe day in lheevaporation tanks. The mean diversity comprised 2 and 3, and the resuJts of equibi lity showed thal the species are well dislributed in the samples. A positi ve association was registered between Haematopus palliatus Temminck, 1820, C. col/aris, C. wilsonia, and H. himanlopus . These, in turn , associated inversely to A. inlelpres, A. macularia, C. pusilla and C. mimllil/a (Vi eill ot, 18 19), which is possibly due to the fact that some species are resident, reproducing in lhe locality, with movemenls disti nct from that specie wich migrate during lhe boreal w inter. Traps , surveys, re-traps , and recovers indicale that the Diamante Branco saline comprises na important area for the conservation of the shorebids . KEY WORDS . Monitoring, shore birds, saline, reproduti on, conservation o Brasil é vis itado periodicamente por milhares de aves limícolas migrató-rias que se deslocam com a proximidade do inverno boreal , do Ártico para a América do Sul, ocupando várias localidades dentre as quais, o litoral do Nordeste . As espécies que migram para o Nordeste ocupam sobretudo, áreas úmidas naturais no litoral, a exemplo de praias, estuários, manguezais, alagados costeiros e salgados
The Piping Plover, Charadrius melodus Ord, 1824, is an shorebirds species of Central America and Eastern North America, showing two populations: a coastal and other in the Great Lakes Region. VOOUS (1983) reported the species to South America. It uses sandy beaches environments, areas traditionally occupied by man. It carries through reproduction from May to August in New Scotland, USA and is present throughout the year in North Carolina, USA. It prefers beaches with little vegetation for nesting and raising their nestlings (CAIRNS 1982). Shows declining population in the Great Lakes Region and Atlantic coast. The identification is made mainly by the color of the leg feathers and the shining orange beak base, close to red (CAIRNS 1982, RUSSEL 1983, HAYMAN et al. 1986, BROWN et al. 2001). Through a monitoring program of shorebirds involving census, captures and recaptures in sandy habitats of Diamante Branco saline, it was possible to make this record.
