As one topic example, Marconi Campos-Cerqueira presented a paper entitled “Past, Current and Future Distributions of Puerto Rican Fauna: Implications from Climate Change.” He modeled likely future suitable habitats in a climate change scenario for a number of bird species of conservation concern.

The book is divided into three parts: “Introduction,” “Avifaunal Overview,” and “Species Accounts.” The authors’ detailed delineation of problems with the accuracy of NYC breeding bird surveys or with the limits of historical writings may test a reader’s patience. Most birders will go straight to the “Species Accounts.”

The species name is cyanouroptera , meaning dark blue tailed and -winged. Originally, the gorget was a piece of armor that protected the throat or gorge. Of course, me writing about the meaning of “gorgeted” rather than providing bird-specific information indicates a lack of papers on the species.
