New Records of Calidris alpina arcticola from Korea Confirmed by Resightings of Color-marked Birds = 유색표식 관찰을 통해 확인된 북방민물도요(Calidris alpina arcticola)의 새로운 도래 기록

국문 초록 (Abstract)

국내에 도래하는 민물도요(Calidris alpina)에는 큰 무리를 지어 흔히 통과하는 민물도요(C. a. sakhalina)와 미조로 확인된 큰민물도요(신칭, C. a. pacifica)의 2개 아종이 기록되어 있다. 2007년부터 2009년까지 국내에서 관찰된 민물도요의 유색표식을 조사한 결과, 알래스카 북부의 Barrow에서 번식한 북방민물도요(신칭, C. a. arcticola) 3개체가 새만금 일대에서 중간 기착하는 것이 확인되었다. 국내를 통과하는 도요류의 강한 회귀성과 이동 전략을 감안할 때, 이 결과는 최소한 가을철의 남하 이동시기에는 새만금 일대가 국내 신아종으로 기록된 북방민물도요의 핵심 중간 기착지로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 보여주는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 민물도요 3개 아종별 도래현황에 대한 조사와 함께, 새만금 매립 사업에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 실질적인 저감 대책이 요구된다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the Republic of Korea, two subspecies of the Dunlin Calidris alpina have been recognized: the abundant and common C. a. sakhalina and the vagrant C. a. pacifica. As a result of color-marked bird resightings on the west coast of Korea from 2007 to 2009, three C. a. arcticola, which bred in Barrow, northern Alaska, were observed in the Saemangeum reclamation project area. Given skipping migration strategies and high site fidelity of many shorebird species in Korea, this result strongly suggests, at least during their southward autumn migration, that the tidal wetlands of the Saemangeum area play an important role as a key staging site for the newly recorded C. a. arcticola in Korea. Further studies on the current status of the three Dunlin subspecies in Korea and the implementation of effective mitigation measures at Saemangeum are strongly recommended.
