    Fall 2003 Migration of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds in New England

    fall 2003 Migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds in new england Sharon Stichter Editor’s Note. This article is a revised and expanded version of a report that first appeared on the New England Hummers website on 10/27/03. For a fuller description of the project, please see the website at <http://www.nehummers.com>. At the site you can also sign up to be a Site Monitor for 2004. ruby-throated hummingbirds are common nesters in new england, but each year these diminutive birds travel to Mexico and central america to spend the winter. how late do they stay in new england in the fall? have the “last observed” dates been getting later in recent years? do the birds depart “all at once,” or are there ebbs and flows of migration? are there observable changes that can indicate the beginning of hummingbird migration? over the 2003 season the new england hummers research project collected data on these questions as part of a study of the migration, distribution, and population fluctuations of Archilochus colubris in our region. this report is based on three sources of information: 1) data from our site Monitors; 2) reports from the many other observers who took the time to report their sightings to new england hummers or to the state listserves Massbird, nh.birds, rI birds, and Maine-birds; and 3) the reports from hawkcount.org from two Massachusetts hawkwatch sites. our research utilizes citizen observation as its primary source of data. we now have about 50 site Monitors scattered across new england, mostly in Massachusetts and new hampshire, who keep watch on their hummingbird feeders throughout the season and report specified observations.

    Concord River Diadromous Fish Restoration FEASIBILITY STUDY

    Concord River Diadromous Fish Restoration FEASIBILITY STUDY Concord River, Massachusetts Talbot Mills Dam Centennial Falls Dam Middlesex Falls DRAFT REPORT FEBRUARY 2016 Prepared for: In partnership with: Prepared by: This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary Concord River Diadromous Fish Restoration FEASIBILITY STUDY – DRAFT REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of restoring populations of diadromous fish to the Concord, Sudbury, and Assabet Rivers, collectively known as the SuAsCo Watershed. The primary impediment to fish passage in the Concord River is the Talbot Mills Dam in Billerica, Massachusetts. Prior to reaching the dam, fish must first navigate potential obstacles at the Essex Dam (an active hydro dam with a fish elevator and an eel ladder) on the Merrimack River in Lawrence, Middlesex Falls (a natural bedrock falls and remnants of a breached dam) on the Concord River in Lowell, and Centennial Falls Dam (a hydropower dam with a fish ladder), also on the Concord River in Lowell. Blueback herring Alewife American shad American eel Sea lamprey Species targeted for restoration include both species of river herring (blueback herring and alewife), American shad, American eel, and sea lamprey, all of which are diadromous fish that depend upon passage between marine and freshwater habitats to complete their life cycle. Reasons The impact of diadromous fish species extends for pursuing fish passage restoration in the far beyond the scope of a single restoration Concord River watershed include the importance and historical presence of the project, as they have a broad migratory range target species, the connectivity of and along the Atlantic coast and benefit commercial significant potential habitat within the and recreational fisheries of other species.
  • Fitness Tests to Predict Vo2max

    Fitness Tests to Predict Vo2max

    Prediction Tests Tests For Predicting VO2max Maximal Tests 1.5 Mile Run. Test Population. This test was developed on college age males and females. It has not been validated on other age groups. Test Procedures. A 1.5 mile level running surface is used. The 1.5 miles is covered in as fast a time as possible. It is best to run at an even pace until near the end, just as in a race. It is best to have at least one trial run before the test to establish a pace-sense for this distance. Only the time for the run, in minutes and seconds and the heart rate at the end of the test is recorded. VO2max is computed with the following equation: . -1. -1 VO2max (ml kg min ) = 88.02 + (3.716 * gender) - (0.0753 * body weight in pounds) - (2.767 * time for 1.5 miles in minutes and fractions of minutes) Where gender = 1 for males and 0 for females. Accuracy of Prediction. This test has a R = 0.90 and an SEE = 2.8 ml.kg-1.min-1. Reference: George, J. D. et al. VO2max estimation from a submaximal 1-mile track jog for fit college-age individuals.
