Rare and scarce birds of the Azores up to and including 2012. In this data base all by us known sightings of scarce and rare birds are listed, and sightings (birds) are all numbered in chronological order. We have tried to give one number for each bird which means that a bird in the same place in two different days often is presumed to be one and the same bird. In some case (mostly larger birds) we have given a bird the same number even if the observations are made on different islands (if dates, plumage, and presumed migratory/flight direction fits). This is to avoid any double counts. For a number of records (especially older ones) the exact dates may be missing. Dates are then given with zeros in decades, years, or months (No date = 1900-00-00, before 1903 = 1902-00-00, February 1968 = 1968-02-00) et cetera. The data base shows information about references and documentation status, including judgements from CPR. References are shown selected where we have tried to, in first hand, use references concerning the first and the last sighting (sightings in between often omitted). For 2012 observations include data from Aves dos Acores or Azores Bird Sightings when these websites are used as sources. Published and/or written sources overrides messages via SMS, e-mail and net sources, when this is possible. And references from CPR (the yearly Portuguese Bird Report) override other references where the CPR report includes exactly the same information. Judgements from CPR (approved or rejected observations) are shown for those sightings where the actual birds are involved. This often means that CPR have approved or rejected reports covering just parts of the time a bird has been seen. A long staying bird reported from September 12th to November 30th may, for example, just have been reported to CPR concerning an observation from October 10th. The latest CPR report used in this material is the one published 2011 (Anuário Ornitológico 8) mostly covering observations in 2010.

Page 1: Rare and scarce birds of the Azores up to and including 2012.sr-oland.se/onewebmedia/PigeonstoNewWorldBlackbirds.pdf17 (17 new birds making a total of 22.) at Cabo da Praia, Terceira

Rare and scarce birds of the Azores up to and including 2012.

In this data base all by us known sightings of scarce and rare birds are listed, and sightings (birds) are

all numbered in chronological order.

We have tried to give one number for each bird which means that a bird in the same place in two

different days often is presumed to be one and the same bird. In some case (mostly larger birds) we

have given a bird the same number even if the observations are made on different islands (if dates,

plumage, and presumed migratory/flight direction fits). This is to avoid any double counts.

For a number of records (especially older ones) the exact dates may be missing. Dates are then

given with zeros in decades, years, or months (No date = 1900-00-00, before 1903 = 1902-00-00,

February 1968 = 1968-02-00) et cetera.

The data base shows information about references and documentation status, including

judgements from CPR. References are shown selected where we have tried to, in first hand, use

references concerning the first and the last sighting (sightings in between often omitted). For 2012

observations include data from Aves dos Acores or Azores Bird Sightings when these websites are

used as sources. Published and/or written sources overrides messages via SMS, e-mail and net

sources, when this is possible. And references from CPR (the yearly Portuguese Bird Report) override

other references where the CPR report includes exactly the same information. Judgements from CPR

(approved or rejected observations) are shown for those sightings where the actual birds are

involved. This often means that CPR have approved or rejected reports covering just parts of the time

a bird has been seen. A long staying bird reported from September 12th to November 30th may, for

example, just have been reported to CPR concerning an observation from October 10th. The latest

CPR report used in this material is the one published 2011 (Anuário Ornitológico 8) mostly covering

observations in 2010.

This list is a stripped and modified version of the list in Birding Azores database, which also include a

large number of photos (more than 3000) attached to corresponding observations.

Blue Jay Cyanocitta cristata Gaio-de-poupa No 1. 1 at Lagoa das Furnas northern shore, São Miguel 1998-07-09. (Probably escaped or

ship-assisted). John Bell in litt., The Blue Jay is a common bird all over southern Canada and eastern USA, and at least some of the northern race bromia migrates south with thousands moving past some costal areas. Still it is not a long-flying bird. But it is very curious and intelligent, and further more an “all-eater” – which all makes it a bird that is very likely to be ship-assisted over the ocean. Since it also often is kept in cages, and the date for the observation is out of normal migrating
