Description:

Abstract:: This data set contains the data and morphometric information for birds caught in mistnets and with other means for sampling Avian Influenza (AI) and for banding. These data were collected during April 2008 until October 2008 at 8 (eight) locations in the Khabaravosk and Amursk regions of Russian Far East, in collaboration with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, USA. 450 AI samples were obtained from 66 species. Exact catching location details are given in the following: Lebedinoye Lake (48.9267, 130.5082), Schastya Bay (53.4700, 140.9136), Arhara town vicinity (49.4442, 130.0833), Kleshenskoye Lake (49.4007, 129.7265), Antonovskoye Lake (49.4459, 129.9756), Uril River (49.0918, 130.2870), Amur River (48.8890, 130.6230), Burea River Reservoir (50.3324, 130.5621) . It was assumed that some birds in that study area link with Alaska. This dataset focuses on passerines and shorebirds. Specific AI analysis of samples is coming forward, and will be published elsewhere. Here we present on traditional bird banding and opportunistic measurements of birds caught in the framework of the AI sampling campaign 2006, 2007 and 2008. This dataset links with 6 other sites in the Russian Far East in 2008, and is compatible to other bird banding studies along the flyway. It represents for the first time a coordinated multi-year study done during fall migration and with identical methods at these sites within the Sea of Okhotsk region, Russian Far East. Data from the other study sites are also available online. An analysis of these data is coming forward; for details please contact authors and project collaborators.

Purpose:: These data were collected in order to link the potential occurrence of Avian Influenza in the Russian Far East with morphometric measures for the same individuals. Data from this site are compatible with 6 other locations in 2006, 2007 and 2008 where the same data where collected following an identical protocol. This would allow to learn more about state of the birds, subspecies, migration tactics, flyways and Avian Influenza.

Supplemental_Information: The sampling and banding sites are geo-referenced.

Taxonomic_Procedures:: Bird ID according to Alexey Antonov, using the books: 1. 1. Ryabycev V. K. 2002. Guide for birds of Ural and Western Siberia. Ekaterinburg. Ural State University edition. 2. Marchant J., Prater T., Haymann P. 1988. Shorebirds. An identification guide to the waders of the world. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. 3. Ivanov A. I., Schtegmann B. K. 1964. Brief identification guide for the birds of USSR. Moscow-Leningrad. ''Science'' edition. ; 4. Svensson L. 1975. Identification Guide to European Passerines. Stockholm. Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet edition. Subspecies are often not well described for this region, and thus no data on this issue are given. For digital data: We used ITIS USDA for taxonomic information. For mis-mathces, we used: Stepanyan L. S. 2003. Conspectus of the ornithological fauna of Russia and adjacent territoties. Moskow. 806 p.

Taxonomic_Completeness:: Species were indentified by Alexey Antonov; some species esacped the nets etc. and were not further recorded. Not all birds in the region can be caught with mist nets, and the inventory could be incomplete in these regards. We used ITIS USDA for taxonomica information. But for Acrocephalus arundinaceus orientalis (Salicaria turdina orientalis Temmink et Schlegel, 1847) Cyanopica cyanus (Pallas, 1776) Larus heuglini Bree, 1876 Motacilla alba leucopsis (Motacilla leucopsis Gould, 1838) Motacilla taivana (Swinhoe, 1863) Muscicapa latirostris Raffles, 1822 Parus cyanus Pallas, 1770 Parus minor Temminck et Schlegel, 1848 Parus montanus Baldenstein, 1827 Parus palustris Linnaeus, 1758 Phragmaticola aeedon (Pallas, 1776) the most authoritive Russian source on taxonomy was used: Stepanyan L. S. 2003. Conspectus of the ornithological fauna of Russia and adjacent territoties. Moskow. 806 p.
