jeffrey barlough ' s ' dark sleeper ' is a masterpiece . barlough weaves his prose delicately and powerfully . this is a book that doesn ' t turn up often anymore .
the dark sleeper swimbait was developed to target fish holding to bottom structure , with overwhelming realism and enticing paddle - tail action . with a soft fin that shields the top hook on both sides , dark sleeper is designed for stealthy , life - like deployment as a bottom - bouncing swimbait . in addition to camouflaging the top hook design , the fins also gently deflect potential snags , allowing dark sleeper to crawl through gnarly structure . soft fin material compresses instantly for sure hooksets , collapsing out of the way to drive metal home .

in the fog - enshrouded city of salthead , metaphysics professor titus tiggs and dr . daniel dampe investigate a series of strange , impossible sightings - from phantom ships and ghosts to creatures long extinct . what they uncover is an ancient , mystical evil intent on destroying every person in the town . written in a style reminiscent of 19th century authors like charles dickens and thomas hardy , with tantalizing elements of science fiction and dark fantasy , jeffrey e . barlough ' s dark sleeper draws the reader into a complicated plot featuring dozens of fascinating characters and culminating in a surprising and unforgettable climax .
the ghosts of a long - dead youth and a drowned sailor , together with the appearance of a rabid , doglike creature , portend ominous events near the isolated city of salthead . asked to investigate the peculiar happenings , renowned metaphysicist titus tiggs and his associate , dr . daniel dampe , uncover an ancient evil bent on the destruction of the town . barlough combines the witty detail of dickensian fiction with the insidious terror of lovecraftian horror in an atmospheric tale of dark imaginings that belongs in most horror collections . copyright 2000 reed business information , inc .

the problem with your typical fantasy novel is that it ' s so . . . typical . the quest , the young man or lady with unusually strong powers , the evil bad guy ( or girl - let ' s be . . .
one of the impacts of twentieth century culture on the art of novel writing has been an increased emphasis on the importance of plot .
i felt distinctly cheated after reading this book . i liked the characters and i liked the main theme , but i think the problem was that i expected the two to interact in some way . . .
it seems as though mr . barlough is more in love with he english language as spoken in the 1800s than he is devoted to the developement of his plot .
this is one of the more unique novels that i have encountered in the last year . it has element of alternate history and science / fiction fantasy , but is equally a mystery in the . . .

every winter in poole harbour , winter - roosts of many different bird species are formed in a selection of habitats . some , like the grebe roosts are well studied and documented , but others are still a total unknown . during the winter period of 2014 / 15 nick hopper was commisioned to carry out a survey into the winter roosting habits of pied wagtail , starling and magpie . in the first part of his three part survey you can read about the behaviour and location choices that pied wagtails adopt pre and post roost during the cold winter months .

my journey starts in pejeng where he breeds the starlings as well as pied mynahs and black - winged starlings , which are even more endangered than the bali starlings . to own a bali starling is considered a status symbol in many countries , so they are poached for the pet trade as soon as they are released into the wild . this makes it extremely important that the locals work to help protect them .

this species is instantly recognisable , with its black and white plumage and its long tail that always seems to be on the move . pied wagtails use a wide range of habitats and are even found nesting in the middle of our largest city centres . outside the breeding season , pied wagtails gather to roost in reed beds , greenhouses or in bushes and trees in supermarket car - parks and petrol - stations . presumably , they feel more secure when sleeping with the lights on .
starlings are great at mimicry , with examples including machines , such as telephones and car alarms , and other birds such as curlews and pied wagtails . consequently , it ' s difficult to know what their song is other than a medley of squeaks , clicks and whistles .
a clutch consists of 4 - 6 glossy blue eggs , which are laid one every other day . the incubation usually starts after the third or fourth egg has been laid . the young hatch about 14 to 15 days later . the female broods the chicks for about two weeks , with the female staying at the nest during the night . the chicks are fed by both parents until they fledge ( leave the nest ) about three weeks later . one instance of interspecific feeding has been reported - where a common myna fed a young asian pied starling .
starlings seem to have an insatiable appetite and will eat just about anything from anywhere - except starling proof feeders - and throw much of it about while they are at it ! further , they feed in flocks and so several birds are usually feeding in this lively manner , which is a sight to behold .
each winter many thousands of starling enter the uk from mainland europe often forming large evening murmurations in rural , urban and semi - urban areas . roost sizes can vary greatly year on year , and in this report nick hopper focuses on the winter roost behavior during the 2014 / 15 winter period within poole harbour .
unfortunately , the second bali starling chick died too . the adults are just not good parents and fed themselves before the baby . both were hand - raised and never learned how to properly parent . so we separate them , and each will get a new parent - raised mate in the hope that their new partners will teach them how to care for chicks .
asian pied starlings occur naturally on the plains and low foothills of the indian subcontinent ( south asia ) and southeast asia up to 2 , 300 feet ( 700 meters ) above sea level . these starlings typically remain in areas with easy access to open water . over the last decades , they have expanded their territories . populations of them have also established themselves in dubai .
starling populations have declined seriously ( by over 70 % ) in recent times and are on the red list of birds of high conservation concern . there are several causes of this decline : changes in farming practices , changes in grassland management , loss of invertebrate food through the use of pesticides , fewer nesting sites in urban areas owing to household improvements and poorer survival rates among young birds .
an increasingly common vagrant from eastern europe is the rose - coloured starling . in the summer , the adults have distinctive and unmistakable black and pink plumage - the breast , belly and back being pink . many visitors , however , are juveniles and these can be easily overlooked as they look similar to juvenile common starlings , except that the bill is yellowish , legs are pale pink , and the plumage is a drab pale grey - brown with darker wings .
sexes alike . black and white ( pied ) plumage distinctive ; orange - red beak and orbital skin in front of eyes confirm identity . sociable ; small parties either move on their own or associate with other birds , notably other mynas and drongos ; rather common and familiar over its range but keeps a distance from man ; may make its ungainly nest in garden trees , but never inside houses , nor does it enter houses ; more a bird of open , cultivated areas , preferably where there is water ; attends to grazing cattle ; occasionally raids standing crops .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is reported to be common to abundant ( feare et al . 1998 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be increasing , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as generally common to fairly common , although rare and local in pakistan ( grimmett et al . 1998 ) , while national population sizes have been estimated at < c . 100 introduced breeding pairs in taiwan and c . 100 - 10 , 000 introduced breeding pairs in japan ( brazil 2009 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be increasing due to range expansions in pakistan and sumatra as ongoing habitat degradation is creating new areas of suitable habitat ( feare and craig 1998 ) .

justification : the newly split species has almost completely disappeared from the wild within the past few decades , from which is inferred a very rapid population decline due to trapping for the cage bird trade . any remaining wild population is estimated to be very small , and the interbreeding in captivity of this species and g . contra leaves considerable doubt over the continuing existence of wild populations of g . jalla on java and perhaps anywhere . for these reasons the species is evaluated as critically endangered .
the species is known from java and bali , and formerly from lampung province in east sumatra , indonesia .
the newly split species has almost completely disappeared from the wild within the past few decades , a decline that has gone largely unnoticed due to the species previously being included with the widespread g . contra . wild populations are thought to have gone extinct on sumatra sometime between 1990 and 2000 , had been reduced by 2010 to a tiny remnant in a remote area of central java ( known from trapped birds ) and a small population on bali that may be derived from escapes ( eaton et al . 2015 ) . trend justification : the wild population on java may have been lost within the past few years , with recent records appearing to relate to small numbers of escaped or released birds . the large numbers being supplied to the market by commercial breeders are not readily distinguished from wild - sourced birds as the practice of using closed rings is very rare and not enforced at the point of sale ( s . chng in litt . 2016 ) .
considered to have been similar to g . contra , a bird of open habitats with scattered trees , especially agricultural areas with wet ground and often associated with human habitation ( craig et al . 2016 ) .
large numbers , apparently of this taxon , are being bred in commercial bird farms in central java to supply the trade . however , imports of other taxa into java and apparent mixing of these in captivity seem likely to have reduced the likelihood there being a source of g . jalla stock for conservation breeding ( collar et al . 2012 , eaton et al . 2015 )
conservation actions underway it is not known to occur in any protected areas but key sites have been identified . research proposed surveys of locations where wild populations may persist are required urgently .

they have also adapted well to urban living and are often seen in cities and villages , and are generally seen in small groups . in urban environments , they are becoming so abundant that they are considered pests by many human residents . iucn ( 2006 ) listed them recently as among “100 of the world’s most invasive species” .
slight plumage variations , extent of streaking and size differences have been noted between the different subspecies .
range : found in extreme eastern pakistan , in the lahore area ; northern and central india ( east to western assam , south to extreme northern karnataka and northern andhra pradesh ) ; and southern nepal and bangladesh .
id : similar to the nominate form , except for having reduced streaking on the shoulders and nape ( back of the neck ) .
range : found in the state of manipur located in northeastern india ; also western and northern myanmar and southwestern china ( southwestern yunnan ) .
range : southern and eastern burma ( myanmar ) , southern china ( southeastern yunnan ) , thailand ( except eastern parts ) , northwestern laos and cambodia .
the plumage is a contrasting black and white , with the upperparts , throat and chest being black and the cheeks , lores ( areas between the eyes and the bill ) , wing coverts and rump being white . the bare skin around the eyes are reddish . rarely , leucism ( partial albinism ) has also been recorded with this species .
juvenile birds can be identified by the fact that the black markings of the adults are replaced by dark brown .
most breeding activities have been recorded between march and october . as the breeding season commences , flocks break up and birds pair up , although several pairs may breed in the same vicinity . the courtship ritual involves calling , fluffing of the feathers and head bobbing .
the nest is placed on a large tree ( often banyan , mango , jackfruit or rosewood ) or in urban areas , on man - made structures . it is loosely constructed out of straw into the shape of a dome with an entrance on the side .
their diet mostly consists of insects , worms , spiders , etc . and various fruits .
they produce a wide repertoire of calls consisting of whistles , trills , buzzes , clicks and warbling notes .
they make well known for their outstanding ability to mimic human speech and imitate tunes .

endemic to south africa , lesotho and swaziland , generally preferring open habitats with lots of grass , such as cultivated areas , grassland and rural settlements , but generally avoiding larger cities and towns .
it mainly eats arthropods , supplemented with seeds , fruit and nectar , doing most of its foraging on the ground . it often associates with livestock , catching the prey they disturb and removing ticks from their skin . the following food items have been recorded in its diet :
monogamous , usually colonial cooperative breeder , nesting either solitarily or in colonies ranging from a few pairs to several thousand individuals . the breeding pair are typically assisted by up to 7 helpers , who are either immature or unmated adults , often becoming the mate of a bird previously assisted in an earlier breeding season .
egg - laying season is year - round , peaking from august - january .
it lays 2 - 6 eggs , which are incubated solely by the female for about 14 - 16 days .
the chicks are fed by parents and helpers , leaving the nest after about 23 - 27 days ; helpers continue to feed them for about a week more before they become independent .

in the winter it has white speckles above and below . the sexes are alike though the male has fewer speckles on the rump and wings . the bill is dark grey - brown during the winter .
the speckles disappear through the course of the winter and by the spring the plumage becomes predominantly iridescent with green and purple . the colour of the base of its quite long yellow beak is different in males and females - it is pink for girls and blue for boys .
juvenile starlings have grey - brown plumage with large white speckles on the underparts and light cream coloured throat , but moult completely in the autumn in to the spotty adult plumage . they have a dark greyish bill .
first winter starlings look most peculiar and give rise to many queries about strange birds in people ' s gardens - they are typically grey - brown on the head and back but blackish with white spots below .
in flight , starlings have pointed , triangular wings and fly fast and direct . when they come in to land they look a little like harrier aircraft with slightly drooped triangular wings .
male starlings can be heard singing throughout the year except when they are moulting in july and august .
starlings seem to feed on just about anything : insects , worms , snails , berries , fruit , scraps , suet . however , they feed only invertebrates - not
junk
food - to their young .
their beak is used to probe the ground and is powerful enough to be opened to part the ground and reach food that is buried , they can also swivel their eyes forward to look along the length of their bill to the area they are probing .
they are often found with lapwings in wetland areas , where they feed on the food that the lapwings have disturbed - this is called commensal feeding .
the male builds the nest from grass in a hole in a wall , tree or building , but the female lines it with feathers , wool and moss . the male may decorate the nest with leaves and petals in order to deter parasites and improve his chances of attracting a mate .
the eggs are pale blue , smooth and glossy , and about 30 mm by 21 mm . the male and female take turns incubating the eggs , and both adults feed the young . the female will sometimes remove an egg from a neighbouring starlings ' nests and lay one of her own in its place so as to give her offspring a better chance of surviving .
starlings will use medium - sized nest boxes with a hole about 45 mm diameter .
juveniles disperse after becoming independent and roam woodlands and the countryside in large flocks . in the autumn , many birds from scandinavia , finland and poland cross the north sea to winter in britain .
in the wintertime , both resident and immigrant birds form large roosts , gathering in buildings , trees or reed beds . the roosts are often several thousand birds ' strong , but those that gather in reed beds , such as on the somerset levels , can comprise a few million birds . as the day draws to a close , the starlings return to the roost and before settling down for the night the increasingly large flock darkens the skies as it swirls around like a swarm of insects , making this one of nature ' s greatest spectacles .
when the young have left their nest , usually by the end of may , seeing both parents dashing back and forth with food for the gaping mouths of up to four juveniles is common . the juveniles are very inquisitive and are always drawn to the pond , where they inevitably find a way in through the netting .
in the winter , the starlings roost at night either in the city centre or in woodlands . between 9 . 00 am and 10 . 00 am , a murmuration of starlings will descend on our suburban gardens looking for food and then again just before dusk , when they are usually also seen bathing and can quickly empty the bird bath of water through their furious splashing .
during the summer and early autumn we rarely see any starlings as they are probably in woodland and farmland areas . their numbers peak in the winter when migrants ( up to 30 million birds from northern europe ) add to the numbers and they search for food in the suburbs , and in the spring when they are feeding juveniles . the migrant birds usually have duller bills .
over the years fewer starlings have been visiting the garden ; a possible explanation is that food is abundant elsewhere , such as in the city centre .

archived 2016 topics : hill myna ( gracula religiosa ) is being split : list g . religiosa and g . indica as least concern , g . robusta as critically endangered and g . venerata as endangered ?
this is part of a consultation on the red list implications of extensive changes to birdlife’s taxonomy for passerines .
lynx edicions and birdlife international will soon publish the second volume of the hbw - birdlife illustrated checklist of the birds of the world , building off the handbook of the birds of the world series , and birdlife’s annually updated taxonomic checklist .
the new checklist will be based on the application of criteria for recognising species limits described by tobias et al . ( 2010 ) . full details of the specific scores and the basis of these for each new taxonomic revision will be provided in the checklist .
following publication , an open and transparent mechanism will be established to allow people to comment on the taxonomic revisions or suggest new ones , and provide new information of relevance in order to inform regular updates . we are also actively seeking input via a discussion topic here regarding some potential taxonomic revisions that currently lack sufficient information .
the new checklist will form the taxonomic basis of birdlife’s assessments of the status of the world’s birds for the iucn red list . the taxonomic changes that will appear in volume 2 of the checklist ( for passerines ) will begin to be incorporated into the 2016 red list update , with the remainder to be incorporated into subsequent red list updates .
preliminary red list assessments have been carried out for the newly split or lumped taxa . we are now requesting comments and feedback on these preliminary assessments .
large numbers , apparently of this taxon , are being bred in commercial bird farms in central java to supply the trade . however , imports of other taxa into java and apparent mixing of these in captivity seem likely to have reduced the likelihood there being a source of g . jalla stock for conservation breeding ( collar et al . 2012 , eaton et al . 2015 ) ; while chng et al . ( 2015 ) mention large numbers of likely captive - bred juveniles in javan markets these are not listed as definitively this taxon in their appendix .
any remaining wild population is likely to be tiny and clarifying the status ( and indeed identity ) of the birds currently at large within the species native range is a high priority .
it is proposed that the newly split species be listed as critically endangered , under criteria a2d + 3d + 4d ; c2a ( i ) ; d .

gracupica jalla are regularly seen in large numbers in markets in indonesia . 666 individuals were recorded from 44 stalls in three markets in jakarta surveyed in july 2014 ( chng et al . , 2015 ) ( another 116 were gracupica contra floweri ) . furthermore , 242 individuals were recorded from 57 stalls in an inventory of five markets in surabaya , malang and yogyakarta in june 2015 ( chng and eaton , 2016 ) ( 4 more were gracupica contra floweri ) – of these , 2 were observed with closed leg rings . 144 were recorded for sale in bandung in september 2016 ( 2 more were gracupica contra floweri ) – of these , 33 were juveniles , and prices ranging from idr650 , 000 to idr1 million were recorded . it is suspected that most of the gracupica jalla seen in trade are from captive breeding facilities .

based on available information , our preliminary proposal for the 2016 red list would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion .


the northern nightingale-wren ( microcerculus philomela ) is a species of passerine bird in the family troglodytidae .

it is found in belize , costa rica , guatemala , honduras , mexico , and nicaragua .

its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests .

northern nightingale - wren

christian , d . , d . roberts . june 2000 . first description of the nest and nesting behavior of the nightingale wren .
, under the name nightingale wren . their geographic differences , along with distinct differences in song and physical traits have separated the groups . they are sometimes referred to as northern and southern nightingale wrens , respectively . this division is likely the beginning of speciation in this group of very closely related birds .
the nightingale wren has a very limited range . it is found from far southeast mexico through to costa rica ( the northern portion of central america ) . it has been seen by a few observant researchers , birdwatchers , and tourists in this area .
kroodsma , d . & brewer , d . ( 2018 ) . northern nightingale - wren ( microcerculus philomela ) . in : del hoyo , j . , elliott , a . , sargatal , j . , christie , d . a . & de juana , e . ( eds . ) . handbook of the birds of the world alive . lynx edicions , barcelona . ( retrieved from urltoken on 9 july 2018 ) .
nightingale wrens are popular on birding resorts in central america . along with the many other diverse species of birds found in this region , they create an attraction for tourists and an industry for this kind of resort .
nightingale wrens are mostly insectivores that forage in the debris of the forest floor for insects , arachnids , and other small forest invertabrates . a peculiar behavior when searching for food is the constant motion of the tail beating on the ground as they walk . this could be used as a method of drawing food out into the open to be eaten .
nightingale wrens are very elusive , which makes them difficult to study , as well as to observe and enjoy in the wild . their markings and habit of hiding on the forest floor or in low vegetation help them to be safe , and also avoid intervention from humans . the song of these birds is largely what helps people locate them in the forest and distinguish them from other birds .
due to their secretive nature . their mating season runs from may or june until september . they have been observed using previously existing nests on the floor of forests in the dirt to lay eggs and raise their young . some biparental care has also been observed . the average clutch size is about 2 - 3 eggs . the incubation period usually lasts for 19 - 20 days during which the parents are directly involved with caring for the eggs . once hatched , the observed time to fledging is about 16 - 17 days . no observations have been made of the time it takes young to reach sexual maturity . most wrens are polygamous , so it can be hypothesized that nightingale wrens are as well , but no research supports the idea at this time .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size may be moderately small to large , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
partners in flight estimated the population to number fewer than 50 , 000 individuals ( a . panjabi in litt . 2008 ) , thus it is placed in the band 20 , 000 - 49 , 999 individuals here . trend justification : the population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation .

lives in thick evergreen forests , which are also usually very moist , and have a large amount of cover on the forest floor . most of the time
can be found on the forest floor , or perched on low branches and plants , and are very difficult to spot unless they are singing . ravines and foothills in these forests are favorite environments of these birds . ( stiles & skutch 1989 )
both male and female adults have dark black markings , usually scaling on their breast and throat which have a greyish base color , but can appear almost completely black . their dorsal side is dark brown , with black scalloping around the edges , as well as on the wings . there are a lighter spots on the wing coverts . they have a black bill and black legs .
immature wrens have markings similar to adults , but are over - all paler in color , creating more contrast between light and dark markings .
young wrens are even paler than immature wrens , though still similar , also with a marked contrast in color . their scaling is mostly grey , instead of black , and their base color is more of a light cream or buff shade .
males learn only one song during their lifetime , but this song can be altered to fit different uses , such as mating and marking territory .

animals that use metabolically generated heat to regulate body temperature independently of ambient temperature . endothermy is a synapomorphy of the mammalia , although it may have arisen in a ( now extinct ) synapsid ancestor ; the fossil record does not distinguish these possibilities . convergent in birds .
offspring are produced in more than one group ( litters , clutches , etc . ) and across multiple seasons ( or other periods hospitable to reproduction ) . iteroparous animals must , by definition , survive over multiple seasons ( or periodic condition changes ) .
the area in which the animal is naturally found , the region in which it is endemic .
reproduction in which eggs are released by the female ; development of offspring occurs outside the mother ' s body .
rainforests , both temperate and tropical , are dominated by trees often forming a closed canopy with little light reaching the ground . epiphytes and climbing plants are also abundant . precipitation is typically not limiting , but may be somewhat seasonal .

the larvae of many species feed on the flowers and seeds of their food plants rather than the foliage . many species have a very specific food plant . some hawaiian eupithecia are predators of other insects ( e . orichloris , e . staurophragma , e . scoriodes ) . they mimic twigs but when sensitive hairs on their backs are triggered , they quickly grab the insects touching them . the defensive behavior of snapping may have pre - adapted hawaii ' s ancestral eupithecia for shifting to predation from feeding on pollen . also , insect predators that behave in this way are lacking in hawaii ' s fauna .
