TL;DR: The California Bird Records Committee (CBRC) accepted 269 records of 92 species in 1998, accepting 195 of them as mentioned in this paper, and the acceptance rate of 72.5% was typical for the last decade but below the overall Committee average (Rottenborn and Morlan 2000). Sixty-three records were not accepted because of insufficient documentation or descriptions were inconsistent with known identification criteria.
Abstract: The California Bird Records Committee assessed 269 records of 92 species in 1998, accepting 195 of them. New to California were the Bulwer's Petrel (Bulweria bulwerii), photographed on Monterey Bay, Monterey Co., the Bristle- thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis), photographed and videotaped at Crescent City, Del Norte Co., and Pt. Reyes, Marin Co., the American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), photographed at Iron Mountain Pumping Plant, San Bernardino Co., the Iceland Gull (Larus glaucoides), photographed at Bodega Harbor, Sonoma Co., and Otay, San Diego Co., the Bridled Tern (Sterna anaethetus), sketched and described at Bolsa Chica, Orange Co., and the Olive-backed Pipit (Anthus hodgsoni), photo- graphed at Southeast Farallon Island, San Francisco Co. The Harris's Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) is no longer considered extirpated from California. With these additions, California's bird list stands at 613 species, eight of which are nonnative. This 24th report of the California Bird Records Committee (hereafter the CBRC or the Committee) details the evaluation of 269 records of 92 species. Although most records pertain to birds found in 1998, the period covered by this report spans the 25 years from 1974 to 1999. Accepted were 195 records involving 73 species. The acceptance rate of 72.5% was typical for the last decade but below the overall Committee average (Rottenborn and Morlan 2000). Sixty-three records were not accepted because of insufficient documentation or descriptions were inconsistent with known identification criteria. Six additional records were not accepted because of questions concerning the bird's natural occurrence or establish- ment of introduced populations. Counties best represented by accepted records were Monterey (14 records), Kern (13), Orange (13), San Diego (13), Marin (11), San Francisco (11), and Riverside (10). Records were accepted from 20 other counties. Highlights of this report include the addition of six species new to the California list: Bulwer's Petrel (Bulweria bulwerii), Bristle-thighed Curlew (Numenius tahitiensis), American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), Iceland Gull (Larus glaucoides), Bridled Tern (Sterna anaethetus), and Olive- backed Pipit (Anthus hodgsoni). Potential first state records not accepted include the Lesser White-fronted Goose (Anser erythropus), Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis), Falcated Duck (Anas falcata), Ross's Gull (Rhodostethia rosea), and McKay's Bunting (Plectrophenax hyperboreus). Also reported here is the Committee's decision to readmit the Harris's Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) to the list of extant species in California. With these additions, California's list stands at 613 species, of which eight are non- native and two have been extirpated in historical times. Potential first state records of the Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta), Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), Slaty-backed Gull (Larus schistisagus), Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis), and Gray Silky-fly-

TL;DR: Bird populations were censused by the spot-mapping method in a Quercus mongolica forest at Ashoro, eastern Hokkaido, during the breeding seasons of 1984 and 1985, and the most abundant species included Anthus hodgsoni, Phylloscopus occipitalis, Ficedula narcissina, and Passer rutilans.
Abstract: Bird populations were censused by the spot-mapping method in a Quercus mongolica forest at Ashoro, eastern Hokkaido, during the breeding seasons of 1984 and 1985. During the study period 40 bird species were recorded, 29 of which occupied territories within the study area. The most abundant species included Anthus hodgsoni, Phylloscopus occipitalis, Ficedula narcissina, Muscicapa latirostris, Parus palustris, Parus ater, Parus major, Sitta europaea, and Passer rutilans. The results were discussed in comparison with bird community studies conducted in other types of deciduous broad-leaved forests in Hokkaido.

TL;DR: The complete mitochondrial genome of A. hodgsoni was determined and the phylogenetic tree was reconstructed using the Bayesian analysis method and Anthus was clustered into genus Anthus and received strong support.
Abstract: Anthus hodgsoni is a species of small passerine bird in the family Motacillidae, which is widely distributed. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of A. hodgsoni. The result showed that the total length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,886 bp and contained 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region. The phylogenetic tree was reconstructed using the Bayesian analysis method and divided into four genera, Anthus, Dendronanthus, Motacilla and Tmetothylacus. The A. hodgsoni which we determined was clustered into genus Anthus and received strong support.

TL;DR: The authors of as mentioned in this paper argued that the potential bird-flu risk in bird-banding sites were caused by water birds which were the main carriers of birdflu, and that spring birdbanding was necessary due to the fact that migrating birds flew over the Ailao Mountains in spring.
Abstract: Bird-banding is one of key approaches to study migrating birds.There was little data in detail on migrating birds of Dazhongshan,an important bird migrating corridor in Northern Ailao Mountains,Yunnan province.Results based on bird-banding in 1997,2010 and 2011 indicated that 2330 autumn migrating birds in total,belonging to 108 species,24 families and 10 orders,were captured in Dazhongshan bird-banding site,northern Ailao Mountains,Yunnan province.Among the captured bird species,78.3% belonged to Passerines;the dominant species were Anthus hodgsoni(accounting for 16.95%of captured individuals),Ficedula parva(13.39%),Lanius cristatus(9.83%),Luscinia calliope(8.71%) and Emberiza rutila(4.80%);and 16.7% were water birds.The results were similar with those found in the other bird-banding sites.The authors argued that the potential bird-flu risk in bird-banding sites were caused by water birds which were main carriers of bird-flu,and that spring bird-banding is necessary due to the fact that migrating birds flew over the Ailao Mountains in spring.
