“…Considered near threatened in Rio de Janeiro State (Alves et al 2000). Mistakenly reported as winter visitor in banks of Feia Lagoon (Antas et al 1986), probably due to usual concentrations of flocks of c.100 individuals in northern Rio de Janeiro State after post-breeding movements (Sick 1997;Maciel 2009). Phalaropus tricolor (Vieillot, 1819): One individual sighted on 17 December 2010 in Ubatuba Lagoon (Fig.…”

“…Several wetland environments are observed in the biome, like rivers, marshes, floodable plains, mangroves, estuaries and coastal lagoons (Veloso et al 1991). More specifically, anthropogenic practices as varied as the digging of canals, land filling for reclaiming, urbanization, industrial developments as well as unrestrained commercial fishing and hunting have reshaped coastal wetlands in southeastern Brazil, leading to an overall decline in the region's natural wetlands (Antas et al 1986;Czech & Parsons 2002;Esteves 2011). These practices pose a real risk not only to bird populations, but also to the whole existing diversity in these coastal environments (Ma et al 2010;Tavares et al 2012).…”

This paper presents the list of non-passerine birds of coastal environments of the Quissamã municipality, northern Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. The surveys were conducted monthly between June 2011 and May 2012. Additional ad libitum observations were made between February 2008 and July 2012. We recorded 76 waterbird species of 15 families, of which Scolopacidae was the most representative, with 15 species. The high Nearctic shorebird species richness observed in coastal lagoons in Quissamã (17 species)is an evidence of the important role of the region as staging site for migratory birds at national level. Also, nine of the species recorded are threatened at regional and one is threatened at national level. It should be emphasized that three species considered locally extinct in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, the most extensively surveyed area in the State, were recorded in the present study. Additionally, we present a high number of previously unrecorded species in northern Rio de Janeiro, and report the first documented record of Stercorarius pomarinus in Rio de Janeiro State. The region has a notorious Waterbird richness including endangered and migratory species, when compared to other coastal areas of the state.
