  • Attracting Bluebirds 1.Mount Nest Boxes
    Bluebirds A gentle bird with brilliant blue plumage, the bluebird has endeared itself to people across the country. Bluebird populations, like many other birds, have declined over the last century due primarily to loss of habitat caused by development. Bluebirds nest in tree cavities, and the loss or destruction of old, decaying trees has reduced the availability of suitable nesting sites and increased competition with other cavity-nesting birds. Bluebird Natural History There are three species of bluebirds in North America: Eastern, Western, and Mountain. The various species differ mostly in territory and feather color. The males of all three species are brilliant blue on the head and back, with varying amounts of white and rust on their neck and breast. Female bluebirds are less bright, with more gray-brown coloring on the back and blue highlights on the wings and tail. Bluebirds feed on a large variety of insects, arthropods, and invertebrates, The Eastern bluebird is one of three species of bluebirds found in North including spiders, caterpillars, and grasshoppers. Bluebirds perch on posts, America. Bluebirds are cavity nesters, and can be attracted to your property wires, or branches while scanning for insects. Watch for the bluebird’s by installing nest boxes. characteristic behavior of flying down from its perch to catch prey and then returning to the original perch to eat. In winter, bluebirds are dependent upon berries to supplement their diet. Bluebirds prefer open habitats, such as meadows, parks, orchards, farm fields, and golf courses. They often spend the winter in woodlands or groves. Ranges Eastern Bluebirds are in all states east of the Rockies, from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Warbling Vireo (Vireo Gilvus)
    Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus) NMPIF level: Species Conservation Concern, Level 2 (SC2) NMPIF assessment score: 14 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: No special status New Mexico BCRs: 16, 34, 35 Primary breeding habitat(s): Mixed Conifer Forest, Montane Riparian Other habitats used: Spruce-Fir Forest, Ponderosa Pine Forest, Middle Elevation Riparian Summary of Concern Warbling Vireo is a generally stable and widespread species, but local population trends are uncertain. In New Mexico, it is associated with highland riparian and aspen communities which may be sensitive to disturbance or changes in forest structure. It may also be sensitive to nest parasitism by cowbirds and loss of winter habitat. Associated Species Dusky Grouse (BC2), Northern Goshawk (BC2), Red-naped Sapsucker (SC2), Purple Martin, Violet-green Swallow (SC2), American Robin, Orange-crowned Warbler, Black-headed Grosbeak Distribution Warbling Vireo is very broadly distributed across almost the entire United States and western Canada, excluding the southeast and Gulf Coast regions. Breeding populations also extend south in the Sierra Madre Occidental to central Mexico. The species winters along the Pacific slope of Mexico (Gardali and Ballard 2000). In New Mexico, Warbling Vireos breed in upper elevation forests and woodlands statewide, and also occur in lowland riparian areas. Ecology and Habitat Requirements Across its large range, this species occupies many different woodland and forest vegetation types. It is generally associated with riparian areas and mature, mixed deciduous woodlands. In many locations, it is strongly associated with cottonwood-dominated riparian forests, which provide favored habitat structure of large trees with a semi-open canopy. In New Mexico, it also shows a preference for aspen and spruce-aspen communities.

  • A Synopsis of the Pre-Human Avifauna of the Mascarene Islands
    – 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig.

  • Red-Eyed Vireo Vireo Olivaceus
    Red-eyed Vireo Vireo olivaceus Folk Name: Preacher, Hanger, Red-eyed Swinging Bird Status: Breeder Abundance: Common to Very Common Habitat: Hardwood forests and mixed pine hardwood forests The Red-eyed Vireo is our most common and best known member of the vireo family. It is also the largest of our vireos, averaging 6 inches in length. Adults have a blue-gray head with a distinctive bright red eye and a white eyebrow outlined in black. Its body is olive green above and white below and it has no wing bars. Like our other vireos, this bird is more often heard than seen. It repeats its song over and over all day long, often while perched high up in a tree. This is why many local folk have called it “Preacher” or the “Preacher Bird.” One early interpretation of this bird’s call was: “You see it, you know it, do you hear me? Do you believe it?” last bird leaving during fall migration on 18 September of In June 1919, Charlotte businessman and birder C. M. that year.

  • Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area
    Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area Jeremy Beaulieu Lisa Andreano Michael Walgren Introduction The following is a guide to the common birds of the Estero Bay Area. Brief descriptions are provided as well as active months and status listings. Photos are primarily courtesy of Greg Smith. Species are arranged by family according to the Sibley Guide to Birds (2000). Gaviidae Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: A small loon seldom seen far from salt water. In the non-breeding season they have a grey face and red throat. They have a long slender dark bill and white speckling on their dark back. Information: These birds are winter residents to the Central Coast. Wintering Red- throated Loons can gather in large numbers in Morro Bay if food is abundant. They are common on salt water of all depths but frequently forage in shallow bays and estuaries rather than far out at sea. Because their legs are located so far back, loons have difficulty walking on land and are rarely found far from water. Most loons must paddle furiously across the surface of the water before becoming airborne, but these small loons can practically spring directly into the air from land, a useful ability on its artic tundra breeding grounds. Pacific Loon Gavia pacifica Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: The Pacific Loon has a shorter neck than the Red-throated Loon. The bill is very straight and the head is very smoothly rounded.
