Zumbador Grande / Antillean Mango (Anthracothorax dominicus)

* ENDEMICA
* (Residente común)
*
El zumbador grande, zumbador dorado o mango antillano, también mango dominicano, colibrí dorado, mango dorado o zunzún, (Anthracothorax dominicus) es una especie de ave apodiforme de la familia Trochilidae. Es endémico de La Española (República Dominicana y Haití.)
Su hábitat natural son los bosques secos tropicales o subtropicales, bosques húmedos subtropicales o tropicales de tierras bajas y bosques antiguos muy degradados.
El mango de la Hispaniola fue descrito formalmente por el naturalista sueco Carl Linnaeus en 1766 en la duodécima edición de su Systema Naturae bajo el nombre binomial Trochilus dominicus. Linnaeus basó su descripción en el "colibry de S. Domingue" que fue descrito e ilustrado por el zoólogo francés Mathurin Jacques Brisson en 1760. La localidad tipo está en la República Dominicana en la isla Hispaniola (y no en la isla de Dominica). El mango antillano ahora se ubica en el género Anthracothorax que fue introducido por el zoólogo alemán Friedrich Boie en 1831.
Desde alrededor de 1945, algunos sistemas taxonómicos trataron lo que ahora son el mango de la Hispaniola y el mango puertorriqueño (Anthracothorax aurulentus) como subespecies del "mango antillano" bajo el mismo binomio, A. dominicus, que la especie actual. El Manual de aves del mundo (HBW) de BirdLife International trató a las dos como especies separadas ya en 2003 y llamó a A. dominicus el "mango español". La Sociedad Estadounidense de Ornitología (AOS), el Comité Ornitológico Internacional (COI) y la taxonomía de Clements hicieron lo mismo en 2022. (Wikipedia)

The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia troglodytes)
(Common Resident) (Endemic Subspecies of the Hispaniola And Associate Island)
is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation
They nest and roost in burrows
Unlike most owls, Burrowing Owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. But like many other kinds of owls, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to the forest, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs, which enables it to sprint as well as fly when hunting.

El tígua / least grebe(Tachybaptus dominicus), también denominado zampullín macacito, macá gris, zambullidor chico, zambullidor menor y
zampullín enano es una especie de ave podicipediforme perteneciente a la familia de los Podicipedidae.
Es el miembro más pequeño de la familia y habita en el continente americano, desde el sudoeste de los Estados Unidos
y México hasta Chile y Argentina, pasando por Trinidad y Tobago, las Bahamas y las Antillas Mayores.
vive en una gran variedad de hábitats húmedos, incluyendo estanques de agua dulce, lagos y pantanos,
ríos poco caudalosos, zanjas ubicadas al borde de las carreteras y manglares
Esta ave come varios animales acuáticos, como pequeños peces, crustáceos, ranas e insectos
El macá gris se reproduce a lo largo de todo el año.
El nombre de su género, Tachybaptus, es una combinación de dos palabras griegas: takhus, que significa "rápido",
y baptos. que se traduce como "buceo". El nombre perteneciente a la especie, dominicus, se refiere a la isla del
Caribe La Española, antiguamente conocida como Santo Domingo.7? El macá gris es el ejemplar más pequeño de los

The least grebe (Tachybaptus dominicus), an aquatic bird, is the smallest member of the grebe family.
It occurs in the New World from the southwestern United States and Mexico to Chile and Argentina,
and also on Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas and the Greater Antilles.
Least grebes are found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, including freshwater ponds, lakes, and marshes,
slow-flowing streams and rivers, roadside ditches, and mangrove swamps
The least grebe eats a variety of aquatic life, including small fish, crustaceans, frogs and aquatic insects
Least grebes breed throughout the year
ts genus name, Tachybaptus, is a combination of two Greek words—takhus meaning fast and baptos meaning diving,
or sinking under. The specific name dominicus refers to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which was formerly known as Santo Domingo.
As its English name suggests, the least grebe is overall the smallest member of the grebe family. It is the only member
of its genus found in the New World; the four other members of the genus Tachybaptus reside in the Old World and Australasia.

Critically endangered
Ridgway's hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, native to the island of Hispaniola. Despite its common name, this bird is a Buteo buzzard and not a true Accipiter hawk. It was named after the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway. It is a brownish-grey bird with barred tail and underparts. It feeds mainly on reptiles, but also consumes small birds and mammals. It nests high in a tree in spring. Populations of this bird have been declining because of habitat destruction and human persecution, and it is now only found in the Los Haitises National Park in the Dominican Republic and is regarded as "critically endangered”.
This bird is critically endangered due to clearance of its forest habitat and persecution by local farmers, who erroneously believe the species preys on domestic fowl, even though reptiles comprise up to 90% of its diet. It has an estimated population of 80–120 pairs

El tígua / least grebe(Tachybaptus dominicus), también denominado zampullín macacito, macá gris, zambullidor chico, zambullidor menor y
zampullín enano es una especie de ave podicipediforme perteneciente a la familia de los Podicipedidae.
Es el miembro más pequeño de la familia y habita en el continente americano, desde el sudoeste de los Estados Unidos
y México hasta Chile y Argentina, pasando por Trinidad y Tobago, las Bahamas y las Antillas Mayores.
vive en una gran variedad de hábitats húmedos, incluyendo estanques de agua dulce, lagos y pantanos,
ríos poco caudalosos, zanjas ubicadas al borde de las carreteras y manglares
Esta ave come varios animales acuáticos, como pequeños peces, crustáceos, ranas e insectos
El macá gris se reproduce a lo largo de todo el año.
El nombre de su género, Tachybaptus, es una combinación de dos palabras griegas: takhus, que significa "rápido",
y baptos. que se traduce como "buceo". El nombre perteneciente a la especie, dominicus, se refiere a la isla del
Caribe La Española, antiguamente conocida como Santo Domingo.7? El macá gris es el ejemplar más pequeño de los
macás y es el único que vive en América; los otros cuatro miembros del género Tachybaptus residen en el Viejo
Mundo y en Australasia.

The least grebe (Tachybaptus dominicus), an aquatic bird, is the smallest member of the grebe family.
It occurs in the New World from the southwestern United States and Mexico to Chile and Argentina,
and also on Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas and the Greater Antilles.
Least grebes are found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, including freshwater ponds, lakes, and marshes,
slow-flowing streams and rivers, roadside ditches, and mangrove swamps
The least grebe eats a variety of aquatic life, including small fish, crustaceans, frogs and aquatic insects
Least grebes breed throughout the year
ts genus name, Tachybaptus, is a combination of two Greek words—takhus meaning fast and baptos meaning diving,
or sinking under. The specific name dominicus refers to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which was formerly known as Santo Domingo.
As its English name suggests, the least grebe is overall the smallest member of the grebe family. It is the only member
of its genus found in the New World; the four other members of the genus Tachybaptus reside in the Old World and Australasia.

The scaly-breasted munia or spotted munia (Lonchura punctulata), known in the pet trade as nutmeg mannikin or spice finch, is a sparrow-sized estrildid finch native to tropical Asia.
Its name is based on the distinct scale-like feather markings on the breast and belly. The adult is brown above and has a dark conical bill. The species has 11 subspecies across their range and differ slightly in size and color. This munia eats mainly on grass seeds apart from berries and small insects. They forage in flocks and communicate with soft calls and whistles. The species is highly social and may sometimes roost with other species of munias. This species is found in tropical plainsand grasslands. Breeding pairs construct dome-shaped nests using grass or bamboo leaves.
The species is endemic to Asia and occurs from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been introduced into many other parts of the world and feral populations have established in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as parts of Australia and the United States of America.

The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia troglodytes)
(Common Resident) (Endemic Subspecies of the Hispaniola And Associate Island)
is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation
They nest and roost in burrows
Unlike most owls, Burrowing Owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. But like many other kinds of owls, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to the forest, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs, which enables it to sprint as well as fly when hunting.

cuervo americano / American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)
El cuervo americano (Corvus brachyrhynchos) es una especie de ave passeriforme de la familia Corvidae. Es un ave grande comúnmente encontrado por toda Norteamérica sobre todo en áreas urbanas como ciudades, jardines y parques.
El cuervo americano es una de las muchas especies de cuervos totalmente negros, pero puede ser distinguido de otras dos, del cuervo grande (Corvus corax) por su tamaño, debido a que estos son un poco más grandes y tienen el pico más pronunciado, y del Corvus ossifragus por su llamado.
********************
The American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a large passerine bird species of the family Corvidae. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America.
From beak to tail, an American crow measures 40–50 cm (16–20 in), almost half of which is tail. Mass varies from about 300 to 600 g (11 to 21 oz), with males tending to be larger than females. Plumage is all black, with iridescent feathers. It looks much like other all-black corvids. They are very intelligent, and adaptable to human environments. The most usual call is CaaW!-CaaW!-CaaW!.
They can be distinguished from the common raven (C. corax) because American crows are smaller and the beak is slightly less pronounced; from the fish crow (C. ossifragus) because American crows do not hunach and fluff their throat feathers when they call;
The American crow was described by German ornithologist Christian Ludwig Brehm in 1822. Its scientific name means literally 'short-billed crow', from Ancient Greek βραχυ- brachy- ('short-') and ρυνχος rhynchos ('billed')
C. b. brachyrhynchos (Brehm, 1822) – eastern crow: northeastern United States, eastern Canada and surroundings.

Status:
Residente Local Comun (Rlc)
Endemico (E).
El carpinterito antillano (Nesoctites micromegas), también denominado carpinterito de sierra y carpintero bolo, es una especie de ave piciforme de la familia Picidae endémica de La Española. Es la única especie del género Nesoctites. La especie procede evolutivamente de una rama distinta a los demás carpinteritos por lo que se emplaza en su propia subfamilia, Nesoctitinae. Se ha encontrado en la República Dominicana una pluma fosilizada en ambar que se atribuye a su género, lo que indica que los ancestros de la especie se aislaron en La Española al menos hace 25 millones de años.
es un piciforme pequeño, aunque dobla en tamaño a otros carpinteritos, que mide unos 14–16 cm y pesa alrededor de 30 g. El macho tiene el píleo amarillo con una mancha roja en el centro. El plumaje de la espalda, parte posterior del cuello y alas es verde oliváceo, mientras que sus partes inferiores son flanquecinas con mutas pardo verdosas. La hembra tiene un aspecto similar al macho excepto en que carece de la mancha roja en la parte superior de la cabeza. The Los juveniles son similares aunque tienen un plumaje de tonos más apagados a los adultos.
El carpinterito antillano ocupa diversos hábitats de isla de La Española y la aledaña la Gonâve como los bosques de pinos y bosques secos de hoja ancha, además de las zonas semiáridas de matorrales y espinos
l carpinterito antillano se alimenta de insectos, siendo las hormigas y los escarabajos la base de su dieta. También consumen gran cantidad de frutos en comparación con sus parientes.

The scaly-breasted munia or spotted munia (Lonchura punctulata), known in the pet trade as nutmeg mannikin or spice finch, is a sparrow-sized estrildid finch native to tropical Asia.
Its name is based on the distinct scale-like feather markings on the breast and belly. The adult is brown above and has a dark conical bill. The species has 11 subspecies across their range and differ slightly in size and color. This munia eats mainly on grass seeds apart from berries and small insects. They forage in flocks and communicate with soft calls and whistles. The species is highly social and may sometimes roost with other species of munias. This species is found in tropical plainsand grasslands. Breeding pairs construct dome-shaped nests using grass or bamboo leaves.
The species is endemic to Asia and occurs from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been introduced into many other parts of the world and feral populations have established in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as parts of Australia and the United States of America.

The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia troglodytes)
(Common Resident) (Endemic Subspecies of the Hispaniola And Associate Island)
is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation
They nest and roost in burrows
Unlike most owls, Burrowing Owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. But like many other kinds of owls, burrowing owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Living in open grasslands as opposed to the forest, the burrowing owl has developed longer legs, which enables it to sprint as well as fly when hunting.

Pechijabao_higuey21_IMG-6938
A 'bal musette' is a rural French get-together, often with accordion: a 'bal populaire' with steps trickling up from a deep past and down from past trends as diverse as waltz and tango. Whilst Manu Chao is a songwriter and musician that might be rightly placed at an opposite end to this tradition, with the track "Les mille paillettes" he dances intimately with the genre's cycles and sing-song. The song's title glistens with a slightly kitsch ambience and the lyrics explain his dream, which is not of a dance with a single partner that keeps to the steps of a 'salle des fêtes', rather a private space full of tantalising beauties overflowing a bed: 'Francine, Ginette, Louise, Roberta...'. In his reported dream, the list of women comes and goes, while the song's protagonist and confiding songwriter is just a loudmouth without a body.
Songs of sexual fantasy can easily become extremely embarrassing, but here there is an honesty to the voice, and a mesmerising sense of mood that turns the track into a deeply human artwork on a footing with some of the lyrical ideas of, for example, Georges Brassens. As with so many dreams, this tale of a mind without a body is absurd, and there is a Gogol-esque warmth and honesty that sings through the endless spirals. and as with so many dreams, there may also be a candid reality of 'rock and roll' friendship hiding between the sheets of the songs hypnotic lines.
Manu Chao is of a Spanish family from the Atlantic north, born into an urban Paris, and his early music clashed guitars with multicultural musical roots. His fame with 'Mano Negra' ended with one of the most extraordinary tours in rock and roll history - 'La tournée Cargo' of 1992 (Mexico, Senegal, Brasil..) that included a customised cargo boat and an absurd theatrical history of France via the inventive Jarry of the street art company 'Royal de Luxe'. Upon return, he produced one of the most listened to records of a generation "Clandestino". For Manu Chao, the act of flicking through the wavebands of foreign radio stations - hunting for a tune - became a sound texture, or collage-effect that ornamented much of his work under his solo name.
As with David Bowie, Manu Chao also had a capacity to work with others to bring a distinct light and shade. "Amadou et Mariam" were provided with a 'Clandestino' for their Malian post 'Les Ambassadeurs' sound, and "Noir Desir" were offered one of the few French standards of the modern epoch with 'Le vent nous portera'.
In the clip for this dream, the bed full of women is represented by dancing bird's eggs. Dreams can be silly, erotic and based on real events, and bird's eggs are as old as man's life of species, with the painting of a face onto an egg to represent a face certainly being an informal 'child's game' with deep roots through all man's histories and prehistories. The simplest possible frame, and we must simply imagine the rest. This is relevant as the first of the three ceramic characters (I modelled them a couple of years ago to look into other issues of prehistory) is the bird man from the "scène du puits" in Lascaux. This is a face from a Magdalenian late ice-age rock-art depicting an accident with a man who has a bird for a head. I put this early example of 'drama' on a pedestal. Collecting eggs and fowling for birds is a unisex activity, but tends to be done alone due to the need to control noise and visual inputs. A fowler (bird catcher) may creep, wade and mimic sound and vision, and having a representation of a bird on a head with feathers and carved wood may look right from above and explain any cracks of twigs to nervous wild fowl bobbing about to the fowler's sides. The central ceramic is based upon a well known female statue-menhir from the late neolithic to early bronze age bridge period. And as our singer dreams of his bodies, we must take the schematic lines of a statue-menhir and dream of the real bodies that inspired and lived in our deep past. The clay figure to the right is based on late statue menhirs and rural iron age statues - one clearly showing a deft moustache. Tattooed or face-painted bands under eyes are often represented and can be seen above.
Ring dances, line-dances, jigs, partner dances, rites and ceremonies all have, and will have had music. For all of the modernity and savvy candid cheek in this song, there is something reassuringly human about the shapes and details of its folly and fantasy. The accordion may be a relatively modern invention, but it stands in the same corner once occupied by someone with a bag-pipe or a flute, lute or single reed instrument. The twinkling kitsch of many a modern 'Bal Musette' is an off-load from the disco 70's with mirror balls and PA systems sitting in corners like props from scenes in Czech new wave cinema. Prior to these recent flickers, the dance was under a market hall or on a dry rise to the side of a village. I recently translated a series of documentaries on deep rural lives as witnessed through the Occitane language, and there was a segment on the pleasure of dancing. A rural cluster of hamlets with an old-timer explaining that there, they simply loved to dance - Friday night and Saturday night. If they could find a musician - all the better - if not, they would dance to the 'tra, la, la'. Clogs kicking the rhythm and voice alone declaring the tune to the night's sky. When we get to these points of human space, we are on a perspective that can perhaps look both backwards through the ages into the great chapters of prehistory and forwards to this very modern song.
The lenses are the two main 50mm Takumars. The f1.4 and the f4 macro (for the eggs).

ʻĀlaʻa wood was used to make gunwales for canoes, house construction, ʻōʻō, and spears (ihe). A digging stick (ʻōʻō) made of ʻālaʻa was also called ʻālaʻa. The milky sap was used as a glue (kolū) for tool and weapon handles.
The sticky sap was used in pīlali, or birdlime, to snare small forest birds for feathers for cloaks, capes, helmets, lei, and kāhili. The flowers of ʻōhā wai (Clermontia spp.) were used to lure the victims in kia manu (bird-catching by gumming).
The seeds were used to make permanent leis.
The leaves and bark were used for external medicine. The leaves were for curing the illness referred to as pehu poʻipū.

Status: No Common Local resident
Endemic of Hispaniola
Critically endangered
Ridgway's hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, native to the island of Hispaniola. Despite its common name, this bird is a Buteo buzzard and not a true Accipiter hawk. It was named after the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway. It is a brownish-grey bird with barred tail and underparts. It feeds mainly on reptiles, but also consumes small birds and mammals. It nests high in a tree in spring. Populations of this bird have been declining because of habitat destruction and human persecution, and it is now only found in the Los Haitises National Park in the Dominican Republic and is regarded as "critically endangered”.
This bird is critically endangered due to clearance of its forest habitat and persecution by local farmers, who erroneously believe the species preys on domestic fowl, even though reptiles comprise up to 90% of its diet. It has an estimated population of 80–120 pairs

Early Hawaiians used ʻōhā wai (Clermontia spp.), in general, as a minor food source. The leaves were boiled before eating. The berries of many ʻōhā were eaten fresh and are said to have a sweet taste.
Additionally, the sticky latex mix was used in pīlali, or bird lime, to snare small forest birds for feathers for cloaks, capes, helmets, lei, and kāhili. In fact, the Hawaiian name ʻōhā kēpau or "gum ʻōha," unique to only this species (C. hawaiiensis), refers to the viscous latex of the plant. The flowers of ʻōhā were used to lure the victims in kia manu (bird-catching by gumming). How sadly ironic that the very plants that the honeycreepers seek as a food source would also be used to lure them to be ensnared.

If you look closely just beyond the edge of the water there is some mist netting to catch birds. In fact there is 180 feet of it. When we arrived no one was around and birds were already in the net, this was early in the morning. Kalu my guide said that the guy who set the nets would visit to extract the birds just once a day in the evening once all the birds had been down for a drink. That early in the morning birds caught were still AOK and using my ringing experience I safely extracted and released Red-billed Queleas and Black-billed Wood Doves. The large quantity of feathers in the nets indicated how roughly birds had been extracted on previous days. I decided to take down the nets rather than leave them for birds to be caught all day as the mortality would have been horrendous. I later placed the mist nests on a bush fire a few kms away where they burned well. Kalu left a message for the trapper in large writing in the mud by the water. We later found rides cut in the reeds and bushes in the immediate area where we guessed the trappers also caught birds. This was the only evidence of trapping during our 3 weeks in Ghana.
The site was bird rich and we saw Northern Crombecs, Silverbills, Excalamtory Whydahs, a colony of Red-billed Queleas with males in breeding plumage, Vitelline Masked Weavers, Gabar Goshawk and a flock of Piapiacs.

One of the Roccoli Mosaner near Rifugio Sauch in Val di Cembra, Trentino, Italy.
This impressive structure, which dates back at least from year 1300, was used for bird-catching.
