  • SOME NOTES on SPRUCE GROUSE (Dendragapus Canadensis)
    SOME NOTES ON SPRUCE GROUSE (Dendragapus canadensis) by Michael R. Greenwald, West Roxbury One of the most frequently sought and least frequently found of New England's avifauna is the Spruce Grouse. All too often, when a bird is found, it is identified on the premises that a grouse that does not flee or a grouse observed in Maine, northern New Hampshire, northern New York, or extreme northern Vermont is a Spruce Grouse. Unfortunately, both premises are incorrect. A female Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) will frequently stand her ground, display, and even charge at an unwelcome human intruder if chicks are any­ where in the vicinity. Furthermore, in all of the Spruce Grouse's New England range, the Ruffed Grouse is the more common grouse. This article is an attempt to provide some clues to the identification of the Spruce Grouse (especially the female), some hints on how to find this elusive bird in the V/hite Mountains of New Hampshire, and some miscellaneous notes and observations. There are five recognized subspecies of the Spruce Grouse (formerly Canachites canadensis); the nominate Hudsonian Spruce Grouse (Dendragapus c. canadensis), "Franklin's" grouse (D. c. franklinii), Valdez Spruce Grouse (D. c. atratus, Canada Spruce Grouse (D. c. canace), and Alaskan Spruce Grouse (D. c. osgoodi). (See The A.O.U. Checklist of North American Birds, Fifth Edition, 1957.) Since it is only the Canada Spruce Grouse that occurs in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, southern Ontario, southern Quebec, New England, New York, and the north-central states, this discussion is confined to that subspecies except when, for lack of infor­ mation, studies of the other subspecies must be used.

  • Mountain Birdwatch 2006
    Mountain Birdwatch 2006 © Jeff Nadler FINAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE June 14, 2007 Julie A. Hart and J. Daniel Lambert VINS Technical Report 07-3 Vermont Institute of Natural Science 6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059 ABSTRACT Mountain Birdwatch is a long-term monitoring program for songbirds that breed in high-elevation forests of the northeastern U.S. Since 2001, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) has prepared skilled volunteers to conduct annual surveys along 1- km point count routes located in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Primary emphasis is placed on Bicknell’s Thrush, a montane fir specialist that breeds only in the Northeast and adjacent portions of Canada. Other focal species include Blackpoll Warbler, Swainson’s Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, and Winter Wren. In 2006, Mountain Birdwatchers gathered observations from 155 locations, with point count surveys completed on 119 routes. Bicknell’s Thrush occurred at a frequency similar to 2005. It was detected by point count on 63% of the routes and by any means on 90% of the routes. However, the abundance index for this species fell from a 2005 high of 0.3 individuals per point to the 2001-2004 average of 0.25 individuals per point. Counts of Swainson’s Thrush and Winter Wren reached record highs in 2006, continuing an increasing trend that began in 2003. Blackpoll Warbler exhibited similar gains during this period, following a sharp drop in 2002. White-throated Sparrow numbers remained low for the fourth consecutive year, compared to high counts made in 2001 and 2002.
