Tachycineta Thalassina 06540
''Tachycineta'' is a genus of birds in the swallow family Hirundinidae. There are nine described species all restricted to the Americas. These are slender swallows with forked tails. Most species have a metallic green back, green or blue head, and metallic blue or unglossed brown wings. All have pure white underparts, and four species have a white rump. Most ''Tachycineta'' swallows are at least partially migratory, with only golden and mangrove swallow being essentially resident. All the species use natural or disused cavities for nest sites. Taxonomy The genus ''Tachycineta'' was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanisin 1850 with the violet-green swallow (''Tachycineta thalassina'') as the type species. The genus name is from Ancient Greek Ancient Greek includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Dark ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean Cabanis
Jean Louis Cabanis (8 March 1816 – 20 February 1906) was a German ornithologist. Cabanis was born in Berlin to an old Huguenot family who had moved from France. Little is known of his early life. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1835 to 1839, and then travelled to North America, returning in 1841 with a large natural history collection. He was assistant and later director of the Natural History Museum of Berlin (which was at the time the Berlin University Museum), taking over from Martin Lichtenstein. He founded the ''Journal für Ornithologie'' in 1853, editing it for the next forty-one years, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow. He died in Friedrichshagen. A number of birds are named after him, including Cabanis's bunting ''Emberiza cabanisi'', Cabanis's spinetail ''Synallaxis cabanisi'', Azure-rumped tanager The azure-rumped tanager or Cabanis's tanager (''Poecilostreptus cabanisi'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.

White-winged Swallow
The white-winged swallow (''Tachycineta albiventer'') is a resident breeding swallow in tropical South America from Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, and Argentina. It is not found west of the Andes. This swallow is largely Bird migration, non-migratory. Taxonomy The white-winged swallow was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1780 in his ''Histoire Naturelle, Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' from a specimen collected in Cayenne, French Guiana. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'' which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Hirundo albiventer'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The white-winged swallow is now one of nine s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chilean Swallow
The Chilean swallow (''Tachycineta leucopyga'') is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae. It breeds in Chile and Patagonia, migrating north as far as Bolivia, Paraguay, and Rio Grande do Sul. Taxonomy and etymology The new genus ''Tachycineta'' was created for this group of swallows by German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850. The current genus name ''Tachycineta'', is from Ancient Greek ''takhukinetos'', "moving quickly", and the specific ''meyeni'' commemorates Prussian botanist and collector Franz Meyen. Some consider the species name to be ''leucopyga'', which is what the species name originally was. This species, along with the white-rumped swallow, ''T. leucorrhoa'', form a superspecies. This species is monotypic. Description The Chilean swallow is about in length and weighs . It is glossy blue-black above and white below with a white rump. Its wings and tail are black, with white tips on its inner secondaries and its tertials. Their underwing coverts and auxiliar ...

White-rumped Swallow
The white-rumped swallow (''Tachycineta leucorrhoa'') is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae. First described and given its binomial name by French ornithologist Louis Vieillot in 1817, it was for many years considered a subspecies of the Chilean swallow. The species is monotypic with no known population variations. It has a white streak, or streak above its lores (the region between a bird's eye and nostrils), which can be used to differentiate it from the Chilean swallow. The lores, ear coverts, tail, and wings are black, with white tips on the inner secondaries, tertials, and greater coverts of the wings. The rest of the are a glossy blue. Its underparts and underwing-coverts are white, in addition to the rump, as the name suggests. The sexes are similar, and the juvenile is duller and browner with a dusky breast. This species usually builds its nest in holes in trees or dead snags or under or in artificial structures like fence posts and the eaves of buildings. T ...

Mangrove Swallow
The mangrove swallow (''Tachycineta albilinea'') is a passerine bird in the swallow family that breeds in coastal regions from Mexico through Central America to Panama. It has blue-green upperparts, blackish flight feathers, a white rump, a black tail, and white underparts. It can be identified by the white streak, the white line near its eye, which only occurs in two other species of ''Tachycineta'': the violet-green swallow and the white-rumped swallow. The sexes, although similar in plumage, differ slightly in size. The juveniles have grey-brown upperparts and white-washed underparts. This swallow's song is generally described as a soft trilling, with a rolled ''jeerrt'' call, and a sharp alarm note. The mangrove swallow is very territorial when breeding, much like the related tree swallow. Its nest is normally built in a hole or crevice near water and less than above the ground. This species usually feeds alone when breeding, but will feed in groups when not. It normally fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adult Hispaniolan Golden Swallow Perched On Artificial Nest-box
An adult is a human or other animal that has reached full growth. In human context, the term ''adult'' has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a "minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible. They may also be regarded as a "major". The typical age of attaining legal adulthood is 18, although definition may vary by legal rights, country, and psychological development. Human adulthood encompasses psychological adult development. Definitions of adulthood are often inconsistent and contradictory; a person may be biologically an adult, and have adult behavior, but still be treated as a child if they are under the legal age of majority. Conversely, one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that may define an adult character. In different cultures there are events that relate passing from being a child to becoming ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
