Ave rionegrina sets new world record

San Antonio Oeste, 09/18/1910. - While the Legislature río Negro considers a law to declare the conservation of shorebirds and their habitats of provincial interest, comes the news that a Red Knot identified by its flag [1] as Y0Y, has established a new world record for the species in a continuous flight of 6 days that traveled 8,000 km, without stopping to drink, eat or rest. In mid October 2009, Y0Y reached the coast of Rio Negro where he stayed 173 days moving between the mouth of Black River and San Antonio West-Las Grutas. As of March 2010 was prepared for the migration to Arctic Canada, accumulating fat on a diet of mejillines, sea worms, small clams and crabs during low tide, combined with good hours of rest in the high tides. On March 13, 2010 was seen through telescopes Inalafquen Foundation researchers at the beaches of Natural Protected Area Bahía de San Antonio between Oasis and the Interpretation Center and Bird Observatory "Latitude Flight 40" that this institution has in place. After his long stay in Black River began migrating north 1st. April, flying 1,000 km in 24 hours to the beaches located in Barra del Chui the border between Uruguay and Brazil. He remained there 36 days and was also spotted by researchers working in the monitoring of this species. The flight of 6 marathon day began on May 8, 2010, crossed the Amazon and the Atlantic Ocean and ended on the coast of North Carolina in EEUU.Conocemos details Y0Y feat with so precisely because the May 11, 2009 was captured by researchers in the Delaware Bay, East Coast U.S. who was placed a small "geolocator" of less than 2g of weight on top of one of his legs. At that time Y0Y weighed 125g. Seventeen days later, and probably about 200 g in weight, flew to their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada, where he remained 69 days to start your journey to Black River. In May 2010, after record flight, was captured again in Delaware Bay by the same researchers, who removed the chip and analyzed geolocator information. This instrument records changes in light and dark periods as well as salinity and thus it is possible to infer the latitude and longitude of the places visited by the ave.Estos results have just been published by researchers from USA, Canada, Argentina and other countries in the international scientific journal "Wader Study Group Bulletin. The data revealed by this publication, confirm the fundamental role of the Río Negro beaches to the survival of the red knot, a species that unfortunately is in danger of extinction. And also reinforce the need to protect the diverse environments that use along their migratory route, in particular avoiding the disturbances on their feeding and roosting sites, the backbone of the Campaign for Environmental Education and Social Marketing Foundation carries forward Inalafquen Rare conjunction with Conservation, Manomet Center, Ministry of Education of Black River, CODEMA, City of San Antonio Oeste and the contribution of many volunteers neighbors Protected Natural Area of \u200b\u200bSan Antonio.Con Bay Spring is expected at any moment the arrival of red knots on the beaches of our country and has already deployed a network of observers and fans who await the arrival of Y0Y.

My Finger Is Swollen Near The Cuticle



During this year, some of the organizers of the COA Bariloche we are part of a research group that works with the owls, particularly with the Owl Bataraz (Strix rufipes) and its importance as a species of rodent control, more specifically, long-tailed mouse (O. longicaudatus). Therefore, during the coming months we will be preparing the files of the owls in the area, thus changing the group of birds that we were making chips (Passeriformes).
The extension project is titled "Andean forest and local communities: towards conservation of the owl and its habitat bataraz and maintenance of health and human welfare, funded by the Regional Bariloche, Universidad Nacional del Comahue.
The main objectives of this project are: firstly, to achieve in urban / suburban / rural, range of Hantavirus Andes range, an awareness of the importance of owls as predators tailed mouse and its direct influence on the welfare of human populations. And on the other, get them to understand the importance of conserving these birds, which would in future protection.The their utmost care and campaigns within the population, so far, focus on only one part cycle disease, ie, rodent control and prevention in homes and risk areas. The role of raptors (especially owls) in the biological control of long-tailed, and other rodents in ecosystems is not well for much of the population. Given this situation, there is first the need to raise awareness about this issue. Studies conducted in the framework of scientific research, allow us to ensure that forest and peri-urban areas have the highest incidence of long-tailed, so the communities living in them are most at risk have on the possible spread of disease. For this reason, I think we need to work together to increase the effort to ensure that people who live there know not only the care to be taken in preventing infection, but also to preserve the long-tailed predators, especially owls. These, many sometimes coexist with people without being noticed his presence and in other cases, victims of attacks by preconceptions that are managed as "are birds of ill omen", "unlucky", etc. In this context the idea of \u200b\u200bconvening the educational community because it is fundamental in the transmission of knowledge. For this reason, the school that you directed, is invited to participate in this project in order to know and do know more about the habitat and wildlife that surrounds us.
