Abstract

Color rings have been commonly and widely used in many ecological and ornithological studies in the field, but color ring-induced injury in passerines is poorly documented. In this report, we describe the first case of toe loss caused by a dislocated split Darvic ring in a Pale Thrush (Turdus pallidus) that was recaptured 596 days after its initial capture and release on Hong-do Island, the Republic of Korea. We also found that a left hind toe of a Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) was entrapped by a split color ring when the bird was observed 135 days after the marking at Heuksan-do Island. Based on these two cases out of the 1,900 color ringed birds, we emphasize a precautionary approach following general guidelines in the application and use of color leg rings for future studies.

플라스틱 유색가락지는 수많은 생태학 및 조류학 현장 연구에 흔히 사용되고 있으나, 참새목 조류에서 유색가락지로 인한 부상에 대한 기록은 드문 실정이다. 본 연구는 전남 신안군 홍도에서의 가락지 부착조사 과정에서 최초 포획된 날로부터 596일 후 재포획 된 흰배지빠귀(Turdus pallidus)가 분할식 다빅(Darvic) 유색가락지로 인해 발가락이 소실되었음을 확인하고 이를 처음으로 보고한다. 또 인접한 흑산도에서는 포획된 지 135일 후에 재관찰된 검은이마직박구리(Pycnonotus sinensis)의 왼쪽 뒷발가락이 유색가락지 안쪽에 끼어있는 사례도 함께 확인하였다. 유색가락지를 부착한 산새류 1,900여 개체에서 확인된 두 사례를 바탕으로, 향후 유색가락지의 사용과 부착에 있어서 일반적인 유색가락지 부착지침을 따르는 신중한 접근법을 강조한다.
