  • Eastern Wood-Pewee Contopus Virens
    Eastern Wood-Pewee Contopus virens Folk Name: Dead-limb Bird, Parvee Status: Breeder Abundance: Fairly Common to Common Habitat: Exposed limb, often on a snag tree in an upland, usually open, woodland or woodlot of pines or hardwoods The Eastern Wood-Pewee is a small and generally inconspicuous bird, but it is perhaps our quintessential “flycatcher,” as it is most often seen when it darts out from an open perch—often a dead limb—expertly catches an insect, and then quickly returns to its perch. T. Gilbert Pearson watched one bird near Greensboro repeat this process over and over, catching 36 insects in 5 minutes. collection of eggs was sold to a museum and was stored This bird prefers mature, upland forest habitat, but it is for many years at the Utah Museum of Natural History also found in wooded residential areas. in Salt Lake City. Ultimately, these Eastern Wood-Pewee It was once one of the most common species of eggs became part of a larger regional collection which flycatcher breeding in our region, but today its breeding is now housed at the Western Foundation of Vertebrate population has been significantly reduced, due in part to Zoology in Camarillo, California. expanding urban development throughout the Piedmont. The Eastern Wood-Pewee is a neotropical migrant that Breeding Bird Survey trends in both North and South winters in northwest South America. R. B. McLaughlin Carolina indicate steep declines of Wood-Pewee recorded the spring arrival of the Wood-Pewee in populations in both states. It was one of the top 50 birds Statesville as averaging around 23 or 24 April in the late recorded on Charlotte Spring Bird Counts during the first 1800s.

ABSTRACT.--Wecounted raptors on line transectsalong roads to assessdensities, species diversity, and habitat selection of winter raptors between cropland and rangeland habitats in eastern Kansas.We conductedcounts every 2 wk betweenSeptember-March 1994-98. Speciesdiversity indices did not differ between the two habitats (P -- 0.15). We calculateddensity estimates and cover type selectionfor Red- tailed Hawks (Buteojamaicensis),Northern Harriers (Circuscyaneus), and American Kestrels(Falco sparv- erius).Red-tailed Hawks and Northern Harrier densitieswere higher in cropland, while kestreldensities did not differ betweenthe two habitats.All three speciesacross both habitatshad a general preference for idleland habitat. We believe three factors could explain the higher raptor densitiesin cropland: increasedprey abundance,increased visibility of prey associatedwith harvestedagriculture fields, and/ or a higher relative amount of preferred hunting habitat.

    What are birds of prey? Birds of prey, or raptors, are amazing animals. They have large eyes that face forward, powerful talons and a hooked beak. Their food includes amphibians, birds, insects, mammals and reptiles. Scientists recognize eight major groups of birds as “birds of prey.” Buteos (large hawks) fly on wide, slow-beating wings which allow them to soar and search for prey. The short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) is endangered in They perch on tree limbs and fence or telephone posts. Illinois. It is a rare winter and summer resident in marshes, meadows, fields and parks. This owl has Accipters (true hawks) have a long tail (like a rudder) and short rounded wings. When flying, they very small ear tufts and a golden-brown body with make several quick wing beats and then glide. True hawks are aggressive and very quick. dark marks on its chest, belly and back. Dark rings circle the owl’s bright yellow eyes. It is 13-17 inches Ospreys can be recognized by wings that appear to be “bent,” or angled, when they fly. Found near long and has a wingspan of 38-44 inches. The large bodies of water, they dive feet-first to catch fishes. short-eared owl feeds on rodents, insects and Falcons have long, thin, pointed wings, a short bill and a streamlined body. They can fly very fast. small birds during the late afternoon and early evening. It is known to play dead when Eagles are larger than hawks and have longer wings. Their bill is almost as long as their head.

  • Town of Superior Raptor Monitoring 2019 Summary
    Town of Superior Raptor Monitoring 2019 Summary Sponsored by the Open Space Advisory Committee Introduction: In late 2018, the Town of Superior Open Space Advisory Committee initiated a program to monitor the presence and activity of raptors (eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls) in and near Superior. The program has several goals: determining what raptor species are present in Superior, learning what areas raptors use at different times of the year, monitoring any nesting activity, working to prevent unnecessary disturbance to raptors, identifying habitats to protect, and providing relevant education to the Town’s residents. Nine volunteer observers, all Superior residents, monitored seven general locations approximately weekly during the 2019 nesting season and identified eight species of raptors in the target areas. Some of these species use open spaces in Superior only intermittently, for hunting or migration. However, monitors determined that four species nested in or adjacent to Superior in 2019; ten nests were located and at least nine of them produced fledglings. The nesting species were Great Horned Owl, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, and American Kestrel. Background: Southeast Boulder County, and especially the prairie dog colonies along Rock Creek west of Hwy 36, historically supported significant densities of several raptor species, especially during winter. As late as the mid-1980s, winter bird counts showed that our area had one of the highest populations of Ferruginous Hawks in the entire U.S. [3,4]. With the loss of open space due to increasing development in the 1990s and the additional reduction of prairie dogs due to intermittent plague epidemics, populations of large open-country raptors in Figure 1 - Cooper's Hawk by Barbara Pennell and near Superior declined precipitously [2].

There are current records across the species historical range, the southern third of the Lower Peninsula, but abundance is unknown and only historical records exist for several central counties. This species should stay listed as state threatened due to limited area of occupancy and declines.

Amphibians Marbled Salamander Ambystoma opacum Expert review (2005); Technical Advisory Committee for the T&E list revision recommended this species to be delisted from Endangered to Special Concern (2014). The historical range is limited to a small portion of the southwest Lower Peninsula and represents the northernmost extent of the species' range.
