“…As demonstrated in this work, mixed flocks of Charadriidae (Nóbrega et al, 2015) and Scolopacidae were commonly observed feeding; while heterospecific groups of Sternidae, Laridae, Rynchopidae and Phalacrocoracidae were sighted when resting in coastal environments, being this oberservation corroborated by Moraes and Krul (1995), Branco (2002) and Ebert et al (2014). The daily behavioral pattern of the birds in the areas investigated was similar to that found by Ntiamoa-Baidu et al (1998) in coastal lagoons in Ghana and by Manoel et al (2011) at Saco da Fazenda Santa Catarina, Brazil.…”

Estuaries are used by waterbirds as foraging, resting and nesting sites, serving also as shelter for migratory birds. The dynamics of this avifauna in an aquatic environment may be associated with the differences of time of day, tide height, temperature, wind speed and use of the site by different species. This study had the objective of evaluating behavioral aspects of aquatic birds, relating the influence of environmental variables with their activities. Bird counts were performed at the mouth of two important rivers of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, during two-hour intervals throughout the day in monthly samplings between June (2015) and May (2016). A total of 44 species were recorded, ten of which were migratory. The most recorded behaviors were foraging and resting. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis indicated no significant difference in behavior between the sampling intervals. The Bray-Curtis similarity test resulted in three groups: 1) - species that foraged most of the time; 2) - species that rested most of the time; and 3) - same time in both activities. The Indicator Species Analysis showed that 17 species were associated with only one microhabitat and 15 species with more than one. The Canonical Correlation Analysis indicated that only tide height, temperature and rainfall variables were correlated with the behaviors performed and only the resting activity was positively correlated with all variables. This may be associated with thermoregulation and the ability of some species to stay in midlitoral at high tide. The results demonstrate that different waterbird species used the studied areas in different ways. Thus, the heterogeneity of microhabitats in an aquatic environment of extreme importance for the coexistence and maintenance of the diversity of waterbirds.

“…Populations from the west of the wintering area originate from the northwest of the breeding areas and populations from the east of the wintering area originate from the east and south of the breeding areas. In general, this species reduces its migration distance by flying mainly along a north-south axis between its breeding and wintering sites (Norris et al, 2006).…”

An overview of migratory birds in Brazil

We reviewed the occurrences and distributional patterns of migratory species of birds in Brazil. A species was classified as migratory when at least part of its population performs cyclical, seasonal movements with high fidelity to its breeding grounds. Of the 1,919 species of birds recorded in Brazil, 198 (10.3%) are migratory. Of these, 127 (64%) were classified as Migratory and 71 (36%) as Partially Migratory. A few species (83; 4.3%) were classified as Vagrant and eight (0,4%) species could not be defined due to limited information available, or due to conflicting data.

“…Despite being recorded throughout the year in northern and southern Brazil, there is an information gap on the east coast (Wikiaves 2016 To our best knowledge, our records are the first documented evidence of the occurrence of the Gullbilled Tern in the state of Rio de Janeiro ( Figure 2). Considering that the recent record from Minas Gerais likely represents individuals deviated from the northeastern coast moving inland along the São Francisco River (Nóbrega et al 2015), and that the specimen from São Paulo was collected more than six decades ago, our records are the most recent evidence of the occurrence of the species on the coast of southeastern Brazil. On 9 and 13 September 2015, a Gull-billed Tern was observed by R. Czaban and E.A.…”

Here we report the first documented records of the Gull-billed Tern, Gelochelidon nilotica (Gmelin, 1789), from Rio de Janeiro state, on the coast of southeastern Brazil. The species was recorded in Sepetiba Bay, in Rio de Janeiro municipality, in August and September 2014 and September 2015. In all cases, the birds had full nuptial plumage, which suggests breeding in the austral spring and summer. This is inconsistent with the possibility of a migrant from the Northern Hemisphere. The regular monitoring of the coastal environments of this region should provide more conclusive insights into seasonal patterns and the migration routes of this species.
