    fall 2003 Migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds in new england Sharon Stichter Editor’s Note. This article is a revised and expanded version of a report that first appeared on the New England Hummers website on 10/27/03. For a fuller description of the project, please see the website at <http://www.nehummers.com>. At the site you can also sign up to be a Site Monitor for 2004. ruby-throated hummingbirds are common nesters in new england, but each year these diminutive birds travel to Mexico and central america to spend the winter. how late do they stay in new england in the fall? have the “last observed” dates been getting later in recent years? do the birds depart “all at once,” or are there ebbs and flows of migration? are there observable changes that can indicate the beginning of hummingbird migration? over the 2003 season the new england hummers research project collected data on these questions as part of a study of the migration, distribution, and population fluctuations of Archilochus colubris in our region. this report is based on three sources of information: 1) data from our site Monitors; 2) reports from the many other observers who took the time to report their sightings to new england hummers or to the state listserves Massbird, nh.birds, rI birds, and Maine-birds; and 3) the reports from hawkcount.org from two Massachusetts hawkwatch sites. our research utilizes citizen observation as its primary source of data. we now have about 50 site Monitors scattered across new england, mostly in Massachusetts and new hampshire, who keep watch on their hummingbird feeders throughout the season and report specified observations.

Heritage landscapes are those places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced the land use in a community; and heritage landscapes often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps toward their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

[email protected] NITROGEN-REMOVAL SERVICES OF RESTORED SALT MARSHES IN JAMAICA BAY (NEW YORK, NY) Coastal wetlands are important sites of nitrogen removal, a critical ecosystem service in highly eutrophic environments. In Jamaica Bay, over 92% of historic wetland area has been lost over the past century. Despite considerable efforts to restore wetland ecosystems in Jamaica Bay and throughout New York City, few studies have examined the value of ecosystem services used to justify their cost, and little is known about the ecological mechanisms contributing to the success or failure of reconstruction. Past and ongoing restoration efforts in Jamaica Bay provide a unique opportunity to study nitrogen-removal ecosystem services in natural and restored wetlands in an urban, eutrophic environment. In collaboration with researchers from several institutions, we are using a chronosequence of marsh restorations to assess how marsh vegetation, sediment characteristics, and key processes of the nitrogen cycle develop over time following restoration. The goal of our project is to determine the restoration age and environmental conditions under which salt-marsh restoration will effectively provide ecosystem services such as nitrogen removal. We employ a combination of flow-through incubation, field survey, and experimental methods to identify the key biological and abiotic factors limiting nitrogen-removal services in natural and restored marshes.

This project was the top priority in the Town’s Historic Resource Survey Master Plan (2013) as historic properties on the coastline are considered to be most vulnerable to change. The goal of the survey is to promote the preservation of these valuable properties by raising public awareness of their significance through detailed and cogent narratives of their individual histories and their role as landmarks in the evolving physical and cultural character of their neighborhoods. In addition, the local Marblehead Historical Commission (LHC) desired to upgrade existing levels of documentation and provide information useful in the evaluation of significance for preservation planning and the town’s review of permit applications involving historic properties. The LHC has no direct jurisdiction in project review but hopes survey documentation will lead to informed decisions where significant historic resources are involved. This project recorded architectural, historical and photographic documentation for 186 properties in the coastal zone on survey forms for individual properties and areas provided by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC). Individual properties and historic districts that appear eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places have been identified. Due to the large number of properties documented, exceeding the contractual obligation of 120 properties, those on Marblehead Neck were deferred to a later project with one exception.
