  • Bird Studies Overview

    Bird Studies Overview

    Chapter 7. Bird Studies Overview teigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge provides a variety of habitats for many species of birds. Thousands of breeding birds rely on the resources of the refuge to Srest, eat, and raise their young. In addition, the refuge supports wetlands that are vital to the survival of migratory birds. The activities that follow offer an excellent opportunity for students to learn about and to observe the different species of birds — their behaviors and adaptations to the habitats on the refuge. Background The actively managed refuge wetlands and grasslands, when combined with the natural floodplain vegetative communities, provide habitat that supports over 200 species of birds. Hundreds of thousands of birds migrate along the lower Columbia River every year. The refuge hosts thousands of migratory birds that fly thousands of miles from their breeding grounds in Arctic Canada and Alaska to their wintering grounds in Baja California or South America, a route known as the Pacific Flyway. The few remaining areas of wetland habitat along the lower Columbia River are vital to the flyway. Some birds spend their winter on refuge wetlands, returning north to nest; some nest here but migrate to milder climates in the south for the winter; and some do not migrate at all but remain in the area as permanent residents. Several of the songbirds found in the summer spend our winters in Central and South America, migrating thousands of miles annually between their summer and winter habitats. Birds using the refuge are specifically adapted to the type of food they eat and the type of habitat they occupy (open water, freshwater wetland, field, riparian woodland, or upland woodland).

    Nocturnal Survey Guidelines Owls, Nighthawks and Whip-Poor-Wills Present Atlas Surveyors with Several Challenges

    Nocturnal Survey Guidelines Owls, nighthawks and Whip-poor-wills present atlas surveyors with several challenges. Although many Minnesota species, including thrushes and marsh birds, may vocalize at sunset, pre-dawn, or even at night, most can be detected during early morning and daytime surveys. The surveyor’s chances of detecting most owls, however, as well as the common nighthawk and whip-poor-will, will be considerably enhanced by adding nocturnal surveys. Owls Minnesota’s 11 owl species are a mix of permanent, non-migratory residents (Eastern Screech Owl, Great Horned Owl and Barred Owl); summer residents (Long-eared Owl, Short-eared Owl, and Saw-whet Owl) and three species whose summer populations probably include both permanent residents and migratory invaders (Boreal Owl, Northern Hawk Owl and Great Gray Owl). The Burrowing Owl is an extremely rare summer resident in the western grassland region and the Barn Owl has been an erratic species whose status as a permanent resident or migratory invader is unknown. Three of these species tend to be more diurnal and the chances of seeing them during the day are relatively good. They include two open habitat species, the Short-eared Owl and Burrowing Owl, and one forest species, the Northern Hawk Owl. Like marsh hawks, Short- eared Owls can often be seen flying low over wet grasslands and marshes hunting for prey during the morning and early evening hours. The Burrowing Owl, a very rare nesting species in the state, is prominent as it stands as a sentinel atop its nesting burrow, just inches above the surrounding grassland.

  • Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles Minor)

    Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles Minor)

    Newfoundland & Labrador Species at Risk Status: Threatened Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) A medium-sized bird, with a large flattened head, large eyes and mouth, a small bill, and a long, slightly notched tail. They have dark brown plumage, mottled with black, white, and buff. Their long, slender pointed wings reveal a white bar when in flight. They feed on insects and are active at dawn and dusk. © Vincent Lucas Provincial Distribution Habitat/ Range Common Nighthawks breed on bare ground, such as sand dunes, beaches, forest clearings, burned areas, rocky outcrops and barrens, peatbogs, and agricultural pastures. They are found across Canada, but in Eastern Canada they breed only in the southern part of Labrador and are considered an uncommon visitor in Newfoundland. Common Nighthawks winter throughout South America. Population Trends In Canada, this rare bird is undergoing a significant long-term population decline of 4.2% per year. Population trends within the Province are unknown. Limiting Factors and Threats Common Nighthawks have been affected by a decrease in the abundance of insects and an increase in habitat loss and alteration. They adapted to urbanization by making use of flat, gravel-covered rooftops as nest sites. Unfortunately, along with their traditional open habitats, these nesting sites are being lost. Special Significance It is the only species of insectivorous, crepuscular bird that uses a wide variety of habitats and is widely distributed in Canada. You can help protect the Common Nighthawk: Department of Environment & Conservation Report any sightings to the Wildlife Division. Wildlife Division Participate in bird surveys and counts. Endangered Species & Biodiversity Support habitat protection for all our rare species.
  • On October 15, 2018, the Committee on the Status of Endangered

    On October 15, 2018, the Committee on the Status of Endangered

    On October 15, 2018, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) submitted 88 assessments of species at risk to the federal Minister of the Environment. On January 11, 2019, the Government of Canada posted the Ministerial Response Statements for these species on the Species at Risk Act (SARA) Public Registry. The Government is now launching public consultations on the potential amendment of Schedule 1, the List of Wildlife Species at Risk under SARA. The complete set of statements and the consultation path (normal or extended) for each species are available at: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate- change/services/species-risk-act-accord-funding/listing-process/minister-environment-response-assessments- october-2018.html You are invited to submit comments on the potential impacts of amending the List of Wildlife Species at Risk according to these COSEWIC status assessments. Your comments will be considered and will inform the Minister’s recommendation to Cabinet. We ask to receive your comments by May 13, 2019 for species under a normal consultation process or by October 14, 2019 for species following an extended consultation path (the Common Nighthawk, the Olive-sided Flycatcher, and the Peregrine Falcon anatum/tundrius). There will also be an opportunity to provide comments during the 30-day public consultation period associated with pre- publication in Canada Gazette Part I. Five of the species included in this national consultation are found in British Columbia. These include: • Acuteleaf Small Limestone Moss: New listing as Endangered o A moss found in a few locations on Vancouver Island. • Smoker’s Lung Lichen: New listing as Threatened o A lichen occurring in three subpopulations in the Coastal Mountain Ranges and Interior Mountain Ranges of British Columbia.
