Gaining an understanding of bird communities in different habitat types is essential for the conservation of ecologically important habitats. Wetlands possess different types of habitats and provide an important environment for wintering waterbird communities. This study compares avian communities in five different habitat types in the Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary (MWWS), Myanmar. From December 2014 to the first week of February in 2015, bird and habitat data were collected from representative areas of five habitat types (i.e., short grassland, tall grassland, lotus fields, open water areas, and rice fields) at MWWS. We established nine sampling plots in each habitat type, and used the point quadrat method to survey habitats and the point count method to survey birds in the habitats. Simple one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc tests were used to determine differences between bird communities. We made 95 detections during 19 daily visits to each of the five habitat types. During the survey period, we recorded a total of 10,389 individuals belonging to 52 different bird species, based on 7-min observations at each of the 45 point count stations. Furthermore, we detected significant differences by habitat structure (i.e., vegetation coverage, height, and density; water depth; and plant species diversity) as well as bird communities (i.e., species richness, abundance, and diversity indices). In addition, the detailed analysis of 52 avian species revealed significant differences among 45 species with respect to the mean numbers of observed individuals in the survey habitats. The findings of this study revealed significant differences in the structure and composition of waterbird communities among the five assessed habitat types. Because natural marshes provide preferable habitats for a larger number and greater diversity of birds, relative to rice fields, natural marshes should be prioritized for conservation and restoration in Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary.

We estimated the nitrogen and phosphorus loads of wintering waterfowl feces in Lake Paldang. The average number of individual birds that belonged to Anatidae species was 2,852.5 from 2005 to 2008 in Lake Paldang. The number of Anatidae reached 97.4% of the total number of individual birds. For evaluating the loading amounts of N and P by waterfowl to Lake Paldang, the feces dry weight (g/day) of each Anatidae species was estimated by multiplying the body weight of the each bird by 2.25% and assumed that N and P in feces contain 1.46% and 0.33%, respectively. We assigned probability 1/3 to the nutrient decomposition of the bird feces in water. The nitrogen loading by wintering waterfowl feces was 0.06 ton/year and the phosphorus loading was 0.001 ton/year. These amounts were 0.0002% of all N loadings and 0.0001% of all P loadings. Therefore the wintering waterfowl might have little impact on the water quality in terms of eutrophication in Lake Paldang.

Eurasian black vulture (Aegypius monachus) belongs to family Accipitridae and is a raptor preying small birds and mammals. It is a wintering bird residing from the mid of November to the late of March in Korea. Although Eurasian black vulture population wintering at Korea is gradually increased, the efficient rescue and treatment for injured Eurasian black vultures are still problematic, due to lack of basic data. Therefore, in this survey, to obtain basic resources for establishing more efficient rescue system, we surveyed the number of Eurasian black vultures wintering at Gangwon province, wintering ecology and injury state of Eurasian black vulture. Survey area was Togyo reservoir at Cheorwon, Seonan basin at Yangoo and Wolsong reservoir at Chuncheon from November 2004 to March 2005. From 12 rescued Eurasian black vultures, physical examination, total plasma protein (TPP) and packed cell volume (PCV) were measured. To survey injury state of Eurasian black vultures wintering at Gangwon province, we surveyed the cause, morbidity and mortality from 103 Eurasian black vultures, based on medical records from animal rescue teams. The number of eurasian black vultures were gradually increased from November, peaked at Feburary, then steeply decreased at March. Eurasian black vultures showed the most vigorous activity around 1 PM within a day. In physical examination, mean body weight was $9.6{\pm}1.22kg$, body length was $1130{\pm}45.4mm$. No statistically significant difference in body weight and length between male and female eurasian black vultures was observed. Mean PCV was $40.2{\pm}2.7%$, while mean TPP was $5.86{\pm}0.8mg/dl$. The most common cause of injury and mortality was intoxication, while that of morbidity was fatigue.

This study surveys and analyzes the ecology of Gangseo area to be developed near Nakdonggang River and West Nakdonggang River in Busan - before its development. With the result of the surveys as its basis, the study also finds ways to conserve the area's bird habitats in response to the planned development. According to the site surveys over four seasons, West Nakdonggang River which is near the targeted development area is a wintering ground for migratory birds. Some representative bird types in this area are ducks, geese, and other water birds. There are even six legally protected species. The average altitude of their flight is calculated to be $92.4{\pm}18.8m$ and the main purpose for the migration is determined to be for food. According to evalution of the conservation value of the area, Nakdonggang River and West Nakdonggang River turns out to have the highest conservation value. Other areas are developable as long as it was environmentally friendly. Therefore, this study suggests incorporation of ecological parks and biotopes within the targeted development area along with the proposal for spaces in the surroundings where the wintering birds can rest and feed. Especially for the wintering birds that rest at Nakdonggang River and West Nakdonggang River, their flight direction and pattern was examined to determine that their resting ground should be located 50~100m off of the river bank. Furthermore, this study proposes ways to maximize bird habitat by building ecological corridors between the agricultural channel and other small streams in the targeted development area and the habitats in the surroundings. Lastly, the study suggests the construction of low buildings, at most 20m in height, near Nakdonggang River and West Nakdonggang River considering the birds' flight altitude and direction.

본 연구는 덕유산 국립공원을 대상으로 서식 조류군집을 파악하고, 이의 보호 및 관리 방안을 제시하기 위하여 실시되었다. 조사구역으로는 주 등산로 2개소를 선정하여, 1993년 2월 20일과 7월 22일 2회에 걸쳐 야생조류에 대해 선조사법에 의해 실시되었다. 조사지에서 관찰된 조류는 총 5목 17과 34종이었고 이 중 천연기념물 제 323호인 새매, 황조롱이와 희귀조류인 큰오색딱다구리, 홍여새가 관찰되었다. 해발 1,000m 이상의 초원지역은 갈색양진이의 겨울철 월동지로, 붉은뺨멧새의 여름철 번식지로 이용되고 있으며 이 지역에 대한 보호가 시급하다고 판단된다. 무주구천동 계곡은 계곡성 조류에게 20년 전에는 양호한 서식지였으나, 인간의 이용밀도의 증가로 인해 계곡성 조류가 다수 감소한 실정이므로 이 지역에 대한 관리가 요망된다.

The Wintering Waterbird Census of Korea was started in 1999 and monitors 200 major migratory sites in South Korea. Waterfowl counts have been undertaken for more than 20 years since; however, a limited number of studies have analyzed the temporal patterns of waterfowl population. In this study, we analyzed population size changes of wintering whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) at 112 monitoring sites from 2001 to 2018. The average number of whooper swans was $4,296{\pm}42.66$ and there was a trend for an increase in population size across the survey period. We found that the population in the Nakdong River Estuary, one of the major wintering sites over 18 years (26.22% of the national population), had rapidly decreased (-0.77% per year). Conversely, the whooper swan population in the Junam Reservoir and Sihwa Lake increased (+1.64%, +0.54% per year, respectively). Estuaries showed the highest dominance of whooper swans among the five different habitat types, accounting for 32.13% of the population. Reservoir/lakes had 30.60% of the total population and reclaimed lakes(18.24%), river (13.11%), and coast (5.93%) followed. The annual distribution of the whooper swan population in South Korea has been affected by various habitat conditions resulting from human activities and urbanization. To better understand the complex factors that can cause rapid changes in wintering waterfowl populations, it is necessary to integrate the data from the bird census program with environmental conditions to conduct in-depth pattern analyses over longer time periods.

멸종위기종 개리(Anser cygnoides)의 월동기 서식지 이용과 먹이원에 대해 연구하였다. 개리는 서천갯벌에 10월에 도래하여 약 6개월간 월동한 후, 다음해 4월초에 월동지를 떠나 번식지로 이동하였다. 서천갯벌에서 월동하는 동안 개리는 뚜렷한 지역 간 이동, 서식지 이용 패턴을 보였다. 즉 도래초기인 10월에는 주로 송림리 갯벌의 매자기류 (Bolboschoenus sp.) 군락지를 집중하여 이용하였으나, 11월부터는 장구만 지역으로 이동하여 연안 갯벌에 일부 존재하는 매자기류 군락지와 인근 농경지에서 섭식활동을 하였다. 배설물에서 추출한 유전자 분석을 통해 개리가 사초과의 매자기류 식물을 월동기간 동안 주먹이원으로 이용한다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 분포와 섭식지 이용에 변화를 보이는 시기에 사초과 식물 외에도 콩과 식물의 검출양이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 개리가 월동기간 동안 섭식하는 먹이원의 이용가능성 변화에 반응하여 서식지를 이용하는 전략을 취하는 것으로 평가된다. 서천갯벌은 개리의 월동지로서 가치가 있으며, 특히 송림리와 장구만 지역에 분포하는 매자기류 군락지는 월동기간 동안 개리가 이용하는 핵심지역으로 보호되어야 한다.

본 연구는 동림저수지에서 지난 18년(1999~2016)동안 1월에 조사한 조류자료를 대상으로 시계열적 변화와 환경 요인과의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 조사 자료는 '겨울철 조류 동시센서스'를 활용하였고, 연도별 개체군의 변화를 파악하기 위해 주성분 분석과 군집분석을 사용하였다. 환경 요인은 1월 평균 기온과 평균 저수율을 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 조류의 개체군 변화는 2개의 물새 그룹과 산새 그룹 1개의 증감으로 설명될 수 있다. 물새 그룹의 개체수가 증가하는 시기는 산새 그룹의 개체수가 증가하는 시기에 비해 월평균기온이 $1.4^{\circ}C$ 이상 높았다. 이에 비해 저수율의 영향은 분명하지 않았다. 기온의 영향을 받는 가창오리의 도래 여부는 나머지 하나의 물새 그룹과 산새 그룹에 모두 영향을 주는 요인이었다. 이 연구 결과는 기온 변화가 조류의 광역적인 공간 분포에 영향을 미치고, 가창오리와 같이 개체군이 큰 종 또는 무리의 이동은 조류의 지역적인 종구성과 개체수에 영향을 미친다는 것을 시사한다. 따라서 광역적인 규모에서의 환경 변화와 그에 따른 종 분포의 변화에 대한 이해는 지역적인 규모에서 조류 개체군의 시계열적 흐름을 이해하는데 도움을 준다.
