Mourning Dove (Zenaida Macroura)
Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) February 2006 Fish and Wildlife Habitat Management Leaflet Number 31 General information The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) is one of the most widely distributed and abundant birds in North America. Fall populations of this game bird in the United States are estimated to be slightly more than 400 million birds. In recent years, the annual harvest by hunting in the United States has been estimated at 18 to 25 million birds, similar to the harvest of all oth- er migratory game birds combined. Mourning doves are highly adaptable, occurring in most ecological types except marshes and heavily forested areas. The mourning dove is a medium-sized member of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Columbidae family. While this family consists of ap- Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) proximately 300 species of doves and pigeons, only 8 species, including the mourning dove, are native tends his wings and begins a long spiraling glide back to the United States.

SANDERS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Migratory Bird Management, 1211 SE Cardinal Court Suite 100, Vancouver, WA 98683 Abstract: This report summarizes information collected annually in the United States on survival, recruitment, abundance and harvest of mourning doves. We report on trends in the number of doves heard and seen per route from the all-bird Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), and provide absolute abundance estimates based on band recovery and harvest data. Harvest and hunter participation are estimated from the Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP). BBS data suggested that the abundance of mourning doves over the last 48 years increased in the Eastern Management Unit (EMU) and decreased in the Central (CMU) and Western (WMU) Management Units. Estimates of absolute abundance are available only since 2003 and indicate that there are about 275 million doves in the United States; annual abundance during the recent 5 years appears stationary in the EMU and WMU, but may be declining in the CMU.

Spring Has Sprung! in What Should Be One of the Coldest Months of the Year, We Are Having Near Record Highs and Buds Are Starting to Break
Spring has sprung! In what should be one of the coldest months of the year, we are having near record highs and buds are starting to break. Luckily we have been receiving plenty of moisture in the Pineywoods and from what I can tell from recent browse surveys, we are going into Spring in pretty good shape. In this edition of the Pineywoods Post we will take a look at some of the Pineywoods latest inhabitants, the white winged dove, one of our prettiest plants. a native hibiscus, and get a Eastern Turkey research update from District Leader Gary Calkins.

Do c o G you think fish and a k r a pronghorn antelope M Fish live in aquatic, or water habitats. live in the same habitat? If you said no, then are you correct. A fish, like a trout, lives in a habitat with cool, clean water where lots of bugs live for them to eat. They also need shelter like the banks of a river to provide e k a place to hide. A pronghorn antelope’s habitat is the prairie. c o Pronghorns are herbivores. Herbivores are animals that G k r eat only plants like grass, flowers and bushes. Grass and a M sagebrush provide pronghorn antelope with food on the prairie. They can find water There are only a certain number of animals that a habitat at watering can support. That is because a habitat only has a limited holes and amount of food, water, shelter and space. For example, prairie streams. different amounts of grass will grow depending on how much snow and rain we get in a year. If we have good rain and snow, then more grass will grow for the herbivores to eat. If we don’t get a lot of precipitation, which is rain and e k c o snow, then we might be in a drought, like Wyoming is now.
