Baltimore Oriole Icterus Galbula ILLINOIS RANGE

Baltimore oriole Icterus galbula Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Chordata The Baltimore oriole averages about seven to eight Class: Aves inches in length. The male has orange feathers Order: Passeriformes underneath and black back, wing, tail and head feathers. The female and young have orange-yellow Family: Icteridae feathers underneath and olive-green feathers on the ILLINOIS STATUS upper side. Two, white wing bars may be seen on all Baltimore orioles. common, native BEHAVIORS ILLINOIS RANGE The Baltimore oriole is a common migrant and summer resident statewide. It winters along the coast of the southern United States through Central America. It tends to stay high in the treetops, where it may sometimes be located by its whistling song. These birds begin arriving in Illinois each year in April and May. Nesting takes place in May and June with one brood raised per year. This oriole nests in elm, willow, apple, cottonwood and maple trees. The nest is a woven, hanging pouch of plant ﬁbers, hair, yarn, string and bark placed six to 60 feet above the ground. The nest is lined with hair, wool and grasses. The female builds the nest in four to eight days. Three to ﬁve white to pale blue eggs with dark markings are laid in the nest. The incubation period lasts 12 to 14 days with the female alone incubating. Fall migration starts in July, with most of the migration taking place at night. The Baltimore oriole lives in woodlands, especially along lakeshores or streams, and shade trees. It eats insects, fruits and seeds. © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2021.

Free-Roaming Cat Interactions with Wildlife Admitted to a Wildlife Hospital
The Journal of Wildlife Management; DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21181 Note Free-roaming cat interactions with wildlife admitted to a wildlife hospital DAVE L. MCRUER,1 Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA LINCOLN C. GRAY, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, James Madison University, MSC 4304, 801 Carrier Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, USA LEIGH-ANN HORNE, Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA EDWARD E. CLARK JR., Wildlife Center of Virginia, PO Box 1557, 1800 South Delphine Avenue, Waynesboro, VA 22980, USA ABSTRACT Free-roaming domestic cats are a major anthropogenic source of morbidity and mortality to wild birds and mammals in the United States. Permitted wildlife rehabilitators routinely treat cat-caused injuries. However, extent of these activities is under-reported in the scientiﬁc literature. To determine incidence, age class, mortality, diversity and frequency of species affected, nature of injuries, time in care, and temporal and geospatial trends associated with interactions between free-roaming cats and wildlife, we conducted a retrospective analysis on 20,921 records from small birds and mammals presented to the Wildlife Center of Virginia (WCV), USA between 2000 and 2010. Cat interaction was the second greatest cause of small-mammal admissions (14.8%), fourth greatest cause of mammal mortality (70.8%), fourth greatest cause of bird admissions (13.7%), and second greatest cause of avian mortality (80.8%). Eighty-three species were admitted following interactions with cats. Age of wildlife admitted following cat interaction varied by class; juvenile mammals were captured most frequently (40.5%), followed by neonates (34%), then adults (25.5%).

Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written By: Len Ferman
Published in General Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written by: Len Ferman This is the final post in a 3 part series. Read the first two parts: Part 1 | Part 2 How the Worst Team in Baseball History Innovated to Win the World Series 50 Years Ago The New York Mets of 1969 The New York Mets baseball club of 1969 has come to be known as simply the Miracle Mets. The story of that club is perhaps the closest that major league baseball, or for that matter all of professional sports, has ever come to producing a true to life fairy tale. From Worst to First The Mets first season in 1962 was a record setting campaign in futility. The Mets lost 120 of their 160 games. No major league baseball team before or since has come close to losing that many games. And the losing didn’t stop there. From 1962 – 1968 the Mets lost an average of 105 games per year as they finished in last or second to last place every year. Then, in a stunning reversal of fortune, in that miracle year of 1969, when men first landed on the moon, the Mets won 100 games and won the World Series. The Players Credit Their Manager The players on the 1969 Mets all gave the credit for the amazing turnaround to their manager Gil Hodges. “We were managed by an infallible genius[i]”, said Tom Seaver, the club’s young star pitcher. And leading batter on the team, Clean Jones said, “If we had been managed by anybody else, we wouldn’t have won.
