  • Red-Breasted Nuthatch and Golden-Crowned Kinglet
    Red-breasted Nuthatch and Golden-crowned Kinglet: The First Nests for South Carolina and Other Chattooga Records Frank Renfrow 611 South O’Fallon Avenue, Bellevue, KY 41073 [email protected] Introduction The Chattooga Recreation Area (referred to as CRA for purposes of this article), located adjacent to the Walhalla National Fish Hatchery (780 m) within Sumter National Forest, Oconee Co., South Carolina, has long been noted as a unique natural area within the state. The picnic area in particular, situated along the East Fork of the Chattooga River, contains an old-growth stand of White Pine (Pinus strobus) and Canada Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) with state records for both species as well as an impressive understory of Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and Great Laurel (Rhododendron maximum) (Gaddy 2000). Nesting birds at CRA not found outside of the northwestern corner of the state include Black-throated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens) and Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). Breeding evidence of two other species of northern affinities, Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) and Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) has previously been documented at this location (Post and Gauthreaux 1989, Oberle and Forsythe 1995). However, nest records of these two species have not been documented prior to this study. The summer occurrence of two other northern species on the South Carolina side of the Chattooga River, Brown Creeper (Certhia americana) and Winter Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) has not been previously recorded. Only a few summer records of the Blackburnian Warbler (Dendroica fusca) have been noted for the state. Extensive field observations were made by the author in the Chattooga River area of Georgia and South Carolina during the breeding seasons of 2000, 2002 and 2003 in order to verify breeding of bird species of northern affinities.

    Solving Sparrows (Supplemental to the North Branch Nature Center Online Presentation on 1 May 2020) © Bryan Pfeiffer 1. Know Song Sparrow and Its Repertoire Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) is one of the most widespread Birds on the continent. It is your “default” sparrow: aBundant, visible, heavily streaked and with a longish tail. You can’t know sparrows until you know Song Sparrow. Its song is variaBle, But most often Begins with two or three repeated short notes followed By a drawn, odd, nasal, somewhat Buzzy note or two, then ending in a trill. Those Oirst few repeated notes are your best handles for learning this song. 2. Learn the “Sparrow Impostors” They included: female Red-winged BlackBird (raucous with a dagger-like Bill), American Pipit (rather than hopping like most other sparrows, it has a silly walk), female Purple Finch and House Finch (high in trees), various streaked thrushes, female BoBolink, female Indigo Bunting, House Sparrow (particularly females), two warbler species: Northern Waterthrush and Louisiana Waterthrush. 3. Is Your Sparrow Clean or Streaked Below? Although this step has some pitfalls, this is a Oine start for Beginning sparrow watchers. It helps you limit your choices. In Vermont, a Birder might encounter aBout a dozen sparrow species in any given year. Swamp Sparrow is sort of an in-betweener. Streaked Clean • Song Sparrow • Chipping Sparrow • Savannah Sparrow • White-throated Sparrow (can be faintly streaked or messy) • Fox Sparrow (migrant) • Swamp Sparrow (dingy) • Lincoln’s Sparrow • American Tree Sparrow (winter) • Vesper Sparrow (upper breast) • White-crowned Sparrow (migrant) • Field Sparrow • Clay-colored Sparrow • Grasshopper Sparrow 4.

Here in North America, birds that live on or near the ground. The sparrows are divided into 13 genera, which also cryptic blend of gray, white, black, and brown includes the towhees (genus Pipilo), longspurs hues which comprise a typical sparrow’s color (genus Calcarius), juncos (genus Junco), and pattern is the result of tens of thousands of Lark Bunting (genus Calamospiza) – all of sparrow generations living in grassland and which are technically sparrows. Emberizidae is brushland habitats. The triangular or cone- a large family, containing well over 300 species shaped bills inherent to most all sparrow species are perfectly adapted for a life of granivory – of crushing and husking seeds. “Of Louisiana’s 33 recorded sparrows, Sparrows possess well-developed claws on their toes, the evolutionary result of so much time spent on the ground, scratching for seeds only seven species breed here...” through leaf litter and other duff.

  • Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers
    Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brandan L. Gray August 2019 © 2019 Brandan L. Gray. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers by BRANDAN L. GRAY has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Donald B. Miles Professor of Biological Sciences Florenz Plassmann Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT GRAY, BRANDAN L., Ph.D., August 2019, Biological Sciences Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers Director of Dissertation: Donald B. Miles In a rapidly changing world, species are faced with habitat alteration, changing climate and weather patterns, changing community interactions, novel resources, novel dangers, and a host of other natural and anthropogenic challenges. Conservationists endeavor to understand how changing ecology will impact local populations and local communities so efforts and funds can be allocated to those taxa/ecosystems exhibiting the greatest need. Ecological morphological and functional morphological research form the foundation of our understanding of selection-driven morphological evolution. Studies which identify and describe ecomorphological or functional morphological relationships will improve our fundamental understanding of how taxa respond to ecological selective pressures and will improve our ability to identify and conserve those aspects of nature unable to cope with rapid change. The New World wood warblers (family Parulidae) exhibit extensive taxonomic, behavioral, ecological, and morphological variation.

Marie, ON P6A 2E5, Canada; [email protected] 3 Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ottawa, ON K1A 0H3, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected] † Deceased. Simple Summary: Cages preventing access to birds were used to measure the rate of predation by birds in a spruce budworm population during the decline of an outbreak. Three species of budworm-feeding warblers were involved in this predation on larvae and pupae. It was found that bird predation is a very important source of mortality in declining spruce budworm populations, and that bird foraging behavior changes as budworm prey become rare at the end of the outbreak. Abstract: The impact of avian predation on a declining population of the spruce budworm, Cho- ristoneura fumifereana (Clem.), was measured using single-tree exclosure cages in a mature stand of balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.), and white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss. Bird population Citation: Régnière, J.; Venier, L.; censuses and observations of foraging and nest-feeding activity were also made to determine the Welsh, D.

The Birds Appendix describes all bird species known by the author to have been recorded at Mountain lake and the immediate vicinity. The Appendix also includes o References section for all citations found in this section and in the Birds Appendix. The Mountain lake Conservancy and lodge property (the property) is characterized by high­ el1vation forests that support diverse biotic communities similar to those in Canada and the northern United States. Bird populations on Salt Pond Mountain ore closely associated with topographical and altitudinal variation and hove been studied there and in other parts of the Mountain lake region for over a century by many observers (e.g. Kessler and Larner 1984; Johnston 2000). Although much of the region was logged starting around the turn of the nineteenth century, small tracts of the or.iginol forest escaped destruction and hove remained relatively undisturbed into modern times. The range in elevation of approximately 600m between the summit and base of Solt Pond Mountain allows for much diversity in both floral and faunal communities including the birds described in this pion.
