These islands harbor five species of land birds: two introduced species (House Sparrow, Passer domesticus, and Cattle Egret, Bubulcus ibis), one widespread dove (Eared Dove, Zenaida auriculata) and two endemic passerines. The two endemic species, Noronha Vireo (Vireo graci‐ lirostris) and Noronha Elaenia (Elaenia ridleyana), have been classified as 'Near Threatened' and 'Vulnerable', respec‐ tively. Here, we quantified the abundance of land birds and correlated it to habitat features to assess potential habitat preferences. We carried out 120 five‐minute point counts in October 2009, and correlated bird abundance with per‐ centages of woodland, bushes, low herbs, bare ground, and man‐made habitats in each sample. The abundance of Noronha Vireo and Noronha Elaenia was positively correlated with woodland and bushes cover. The Eared Dove was associated to sites with bare ground, the House Sparrow with man‐made habitats, and the Cattle Egret with low vege‐ tation sites. Abundances of Noronha Vireo and Noronha Elaenia were significantly higher in sites with natural vegeta‐ tion than in human‐influenced areas. The association between these species and areas with high native vegetation cover highlights their potential vulnerability to human disturbance.

This report summarizes the wild bird banding activities with CEMAVE’s bands at Brazil between 1986 and 1995. During this period, 133 banders have marked 202,999 birds, whose 182,109 were ringed at Brazil (89.71%), 20,002 at Antarctica and the rest of it at Uruguay, Colombia, Peru and Argentina. This corresponds to a total of 819 species from 83 families, where 805 species (98.29%) have been banded at Brazil. The most common species were: Thalasseus sandvicensis (18,512), Zenaida auriculata (11,928) and Dendrocygna viduata (11,656). It also presents the data of 2,732 recoveries of birds banded with CEMAVE’s bands in South America, North America, Central America, Oceania, Africa and yet in Antarctica, in that same period. The three most recovered species were Sula dactylatra (375), Dendrocygna bicolor (372) and Netta peposaca (304).

This report summarizes the activities of bird ringing in Brazil during years 1973 trough 1985. During this period, 59 ringers participated in the marking of of 68,060 birds, where 62,316 were ringed in Brazil (91.6%), 5,375 in Antarctica (7.9%) and 369 (0.5%) in Colombia, using metal rings of the Brazilian Environment Agency (CEMAVE). This total corresponds of 597 species of 73 families, where 557 (93.3%)557 (93.3%) have been marked in Brazil. The report also shows data of 669 recoveries, the most in Brazil (95.2% of total), though others have ocurred in other countries in North America, South America, Oceania and Africa, and even in Antarctica.

In recent decades several records of the sooty albatross (Phoebetria spp.) have been reported on the Brazilian coast. However, almost all reports were based on sightings only, or were identification errors. Concrete evidence of the occurrence of these species along the southern Brazilian coast is lacking. The finding of a live Phobetria palpebrata in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, is presented herein. The bird was measured, photographed and is now in the MZUSP collection. This is the first documented record of this species in southern Brazil.
