Wright1,2 ABSTRACT.—Distribution of the plains pocket mouse (Perognathus flavescens) overlaps tallgrass prairies in northeastern parts of the species’ range in the central United States. Distribution and abundance of the plains pocket mouse appears negatively impacted by agricultural practices during the last century due to the scarcity of records throughout the region. In eastern Nebraska, few plains pocket mice have been captured and no published account exists in recent decades.

Baker What is a Sparrow? Generally, sparrows are characterized as New World sparrows belong to the bird small, gray or brown-streaked, conical-billed family Emberizidae. 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.

  • Why Birds Are So Named
    27 WHY BIRDS ARE SO NAMED. BY KATIE M. ROADS. “What’s in a name ?” Would some of the names of our birds suit one as well as another, or, as in other branches of science, has there been some significance attached to them or so1n.echaracteristic described by them ? While some birds rest content with one name, some have such marked pecularities as to attract the attention of different per- sons and each person has given his own interpretatioa of these by giving a name of his own. This may account for the 124 different names for thbeFlicker as complcid by Prank L. Burns. in The Wilson Bulletin No. 31. While all birds have not this motley array of names, the majority are supplied with several. In the following incomplete list it will be observed that the names employed involve practically every part of the bird’s external anatomy. The color involves the main color of the bird,as well as the colo’r of the head, the back, the wings, the tail, the under parts, the sides, the biK,and even peculiarities in markings. The shape and length of tail and bill, peculiarities of feet and Iegs, the pIace it frequents, the call notes, the song, the imitation in either form, color, or notes, and other things, including persons and places. While many of these names are more or I’ess useful in describing the bird, some of them are distinctly misleading or misnomers. It will be impossible to collate all names which every bird may be or may have been called by, therefore it seems wise to limit this paper to the vernacular or English names in gene.r- al use and of recognized standing in ornithological literature.

  • Hispid Pocket Mouse Chaetodipus Hispidus
    Wyoming Species Account Hispid Pocket Mouse Chaetodipus hispidus REGULATORY STATUS USFWS: No special status USFS R2: No special status USFS R4: No special status Wyoming BLM: No special status State of Wyoming: Nongame Wildlife CONSERVATION RANKS USFWS: No special status WGFD: NSSU (U), Tier III WYNDD: G5, S1S3 Wyoming Contribution: LOW IUCN: Least Concern STATUS AND RANK COMMENTS The Wyoming Natural Diversity Database has assigned Hispid Pocket Mouse (Chaetodipus hispidus) a state conservation rank ranging from S1 (Critically Imperiled) to S3 (Vulnerable) because of uncertainty about the proportion of range occupied and population trends for this species in Wyoming. NATURAL HISTORY Taxonomy: Historically, there were four recognized subspecies of Hispid Pocket Mouse, and only C. h. paradoxus was found in Wyoming 1-5. A recent DNA-based study determined that the previously accepted subspecies are neither morphologically nor genetically distinct and instead proposed new subspecies boundaries delineated by four geographically and ecologically disjunct mitochondrial clades 6. Following this taxonomic revision, Wyoming remains within the distribution of the newly defined subspecies C. h. paradoxus 6. Description: It is possible to identify Hispid Pocket Mouse in the field. It is the largest Wyoming pocket mouse species; adults weigh between 40–60 g and can reach total lengths of 200–223 mm 2. Tail, hind foot, and ear length ranges from 90–113 mm, 25–28 mm, and 12–13 mm, respectively 2. Hispid Pocket Mouse is named for its distinctly coarse dorsal pelage, which is buff to yellowish orange mixed with black hairs, thus leading to an overall brownish or even olive appearance 1, 2, 4, 5, 7.
