EENY156 European Corn Borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae)1 John L. Capinera2 Distribution flights and oviposition typically occur in May, late June, and August. In locations with four generations, adults are active First found in North America near Boston, Massachusetts in April, June, July, and August-September. in 1917, European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), now has spread as far west as the Rocky Mountains in both Egg Canada and the United States, and south to the Gulf Coast Eggs are deposited in irregular clusters of about 15 to 20. states. European corn borer is thought to have originated in The eggs are oval, flattened, and creamy white in color, Europe, where it is widespread. It also occurs in northern usually with an iridescent appearance. The eggs darken Africa. The North American European corn borer popula- to a beige or orangish tan color with age. Eggs normally tion is thought to have resulted from multiple introductions are deposited on the underside of leaves, and overlap like from more than one area of Europe. Thus, there are at least shingles on a roof or fish scales. Eggs measure about 1.0 two, and possibly more, strains present. This species occurs mm in length and 0.75 m in width. The developmental infrequently in Florida. threshold for eggs is about 15°C. Eggs hatch in four to nine days. Life Cycle and Description The number of generations varies from one to four, with only one generation occurring in northern New England and Minnesota and in northern areas of Canada, whereas three to four generations occur in Virginia and other southern locations. -
Catharus Fuscescens the Veery, Like Most Woodland Thrushes, Is More
Veery Catharus fuscescens The Veery, like most woodland thrushes, is more frequently heard than seen. Most bird ers are familiar with its veer alarm call. Its melodious song, a series of downward spiraling notes, rivals that of the Hermit Thrush. Veeries breed throughout Vermont; their range of accepted habitats overlaps that of all other thrushes except the Gray cheeked. Although accepting a nearly ubiq uitous array of breeding areas, in Connecti cut Veeries preferred moist sites (Berlin 1977) and, indeed, few swamps or moist son's thrushes in overlapping territories woodlands in the Northeast are unoccupied (D.

Pileated Woodpecker Dryocopus Pileatus
Pileated Woodpecker Dryocopus pileatus Folk Name: Logcock, B’Jesus Bird, Johnny Cock Status: Resident Abundance: Rare to Uncommon Habitat: Mature forests “The pileated woodpecker is a living symbol of the American wilderness, a reminder of the virgin forests that existed before European axes felled the great trees. Along with the great horned owl, raven, and wild turkey, the big woodpecker was a part of the limitless eastern forests.” —John Trott, 2000 The Pileated Woodpecker is our largest woodpecker, growing almost as big as an American Crow. It is quite a distinctive bird with a very large stout bill and a “flaming” red crest. The male has a red malar stripe. It has a white eye line and a white stripe on its neck. From the neck down, its body is almost all black when perched. In flight, it shows a small white wing crescent on the upper wings and large white wing patches on the forewings below. It the Logcock,” published in the March 1888 issue of the can be very loud, and its calls will often echo throughout journal Ornithologist and Oologist. In it, McLaughlin the large expanses of mature forest where it nests. It can provides great detail on how to find Pileated nests, nest occasionally be found in younger forests with “scattered descriptions, clutch size, and more. He discusses seven large, dead trees.” Mature forests with larger diameter nests in Iredell County, at least two of which were active trees support more pairs of woodpeckers than forests with in early to mid-April, and he describes the Pileated as “a smaller diameter timber. -

Wood Warblers of Lake County (Field Guide)
Wood of Lake County An educational wildlife pamphlet provided by the Lake County Public Resources Department Parks & Trails Division 2 The Lake County Public Resources Department, Parks & Trails Division, manages more than three dozen parks, preserves and boat ramps. Lake County park rangers lead regularly scheduled nature in some of these parks. In partnership with the Lake County hikes, bird and butterfly surveys and other outdoor adventures Water Authority, Parks & Trails also schedules guided paddling adventures. For a listing of Lake County parks and events, call 352-253-4950, email [email protected] or visit Forwww.lakecountyfl.gov/parks. more information about birds that can be seen in Lake County, or bookstores. Information on birds is also available online at the check out a field guide to birds available at many local libraries Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, www.birds.cornell.edu. Bird watchers in Florida tend to bring a little more on their trips than their Northern peers. While the average temperature in Lake County is a mild 72°F, the summer months in Central Florida can be steamy. Outside enthusiasts are always encouraged to carry sunscreen to protect skin from sunburn, insect repellent to ward off mosquitoes and plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Sunscreen should be 15 SPF or higher and applied 20 minutes before. 3 Park rangers recommend these six popular comprehensive guides: • A Field Guide to the Birds, Eastern and Central North America (Fourth Edition, 1980, Roger Tory Peterson) • Stokes Field Guide to Birds, Eastern Region (First Edition, 1996, Donald and Lillian Stokes) • All the Birds of North America (First Edition, 1997, The American Bird Conservancy) • Field Guide to the Birds of North America (Fourth Edition, 2002, The National Geographic Society) • Focus Guide to the Birds of North America (First Edition, 2000, Kenn Kaufman) • The Sibley Guide to Birds (First Edition, 2000, David Allen Sibley) Insect repellent should contain DEET. -

Black-Capped Gnatcatcher, a New Breeding Bird for the United States; with a Key to the North American Species of Polioptila
THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY VOL. 90 AvmL 1973 No. 2 BLACK-CAPPED GNATCATCHER, A NEW BREEDING BIRD FOR THE UNITED STATES; WITH A KEY TO THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF POLIOPTILA ALLAN R. PHILLIPS,STEVEN SPEICI-I, AND WILLIAM HARRISON ON 22 June 1971 one of us (S.S.) collecteda family of five gnat- catchers,including three fledglings,along Sonoita Creek, 8.5 km north- east of Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The adults, male and female, were later determinedon careful comparisonto be Black-capped Gnatcatchers(Polioptila nigriceps), an endemicspecies of northwestern Mexico never previously recorded in the United States. Hitherto the northernmostrecords had been east-southeastof Hermosillo, Sonora (van Rossem,1945) and near Ures, northeastof Hermosillo (Phillips, 1962), localitiesapproximately 240 and 210 km, respectively,south of Nogales. Thenceit rangessouth to Colima. Friedmann (1957) recognizedtwo races,restricta Brewsterof Sonora and adjacent Chihuahua and nominate nigricepsBaird of Sinaloa and Durango to Colima; these he regarded,however, as subspeciesof the more southeasternP. albiloris--a treatment with which we cannot agree (see below). Brewster'sname refers presumablyto the more restricted black capsof his Sonoramales, which howeverwere taken in late winter and probably had not completed the prealternate (prenuptial) molt; whereasBaird's type was in worn summerplumage. Though this char- acter has been generallyrecognized, no differencein the extent of black, accordingto geographicarea, is obviousto us. There is, however,a cline of increasingsize, best marked in tail length, northward; on this basis birdsof northernSinaloa are nearestrestricta, though somewhat variable, and all Sonorabirds are restricta. The Arizona pair, thoughworn, are of maximumdimensions: wing (chord) 49.8 mm in the male (48.1 in female); tail 55.6 (54.5 in female, despite the loss of the central pair of rectrices). -

Pinecrest Golf Course
Pinecrest Golf Course Birds on the Course In North America the Red-tailed Hawk is one of three species colloquially known as the “chicken hawk” or "hen hawk" even though chickens are not a major part of their diet. They were given this name in earlier times, when free-ranging chickens were preyed upon by first-year juveniles. They are also called buzzard hawks or red hawks. Red-tailed Hawks are easily recognized by their brick-red colored tails, from which its common name was derived. In the wild, they are expected to live for 10 -21 years. They reach reproductive maturity when they are about 3 years old. The Red-tailed Hawks is a bird of prey found in North and Central America, and in the West Indies. Throughout their range, they typically live in forests near open country or - depending on their range - in swamps, taigas and deserts. This species is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the international Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In the United States, they are also protected by state, provincial and federal bird protection laws, making it illegal to keep hawks (without a permit) in captivity, or to Red-Tailed Hawk hunt them; disturb nests or eggs; even collecting their feathers is against the law. Red-Shouldered Hawk The Red-shouldered Sharp- Hawk is a medium-sized Hawk. A common Shinned forest-dwelling hawk of the East and California, Hawk the Red-shouldered Hawk favors woodlands near water. It is perhaps The sharp-shinned hawk is small with blue-gray upper parts and rufous bars on white the most vocal under parts. -
