Incubation and rearing-effort partitioning of wing-banded hornero Furnarius figulus (Passeriformes: Furnariidae)

Abstract

We studied incubation and feeding rates in two of five broods in two oven nests of Furnarius figulus at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. During incubation, the number of visits and time spent in the nest did not differ between the adults. The number of feeding visits was significantly different between members of the breeding pair of the first but not of the second nest. Nestlings received arthropods, fishes, and larvae in the first nest and, in the second, arthropods, larvae, and fruits. The nestlings stayed about 23 days in the nests.

New records of bird species from Ilha Grande, state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil

“…Furnarius figulus (Lichtenstein, 1823) has been recorded in southeastern Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro, since the 1980s (Sick 1997), and has established breeding colonies in many new areas, including the coast of Rio de Janeiro state (Lagos et al 2005). Our new records from Ilha Grande are probably result of recent range expansions.…”
