  • Factors Affecting Nesting Success of Wood Thrushes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
    The Auk 116(4):1075-1082, 1999 FACTORS AFFECTING NESTING SUCCESS OF WOOD THRUSHES IN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK GEORGE L. FARNSWORTH • AND THEODORE R. SIMONS 2 CooperativeFish and Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Zoology,North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA ABSTRACT.--Recentevidence suggests that the nestingsuccess of forest-interiorNeotrop- ical migrantsis lower in fragmentedhabitat. We examinedthe nestingsuccess of Wood Thrushes(Hylocichla mustelina) in a largecontiguous forest from 1993 to 1997.From a sample of 416nests we testedfor predictorsof daily nestsurvival rates, including activity at the nest andvegetation parameters at the nestsite. We tested whether disturbance during nest checks (asmeasured by the behaviorof the adults)was relatedto subsequentnest predation. Fe- maleswere more likely to vocalizewhen brooding chicks than when incubating eggs. How- ever,we found no evidencethat observerdisturbance or WoodThrush activity influenced daily nestsurvival rates. Wood Thrushes nested predominately in smallhemlocks, generally surroundedby many other small hemlocks.However, survival ratesof nestsin hemlocks were not significantlydifferent from thosein othersubstrates. Overall, neither activity at the nestnor habitatin the vicinityof the nestwas a goodpredictor of nestingsuccess, and only onevegetation characteristic, a measure of concealment,was significantly correlated with successfulnesting. Brood parasitism by Brown-headedCowbirds (Molothrus ater) was extremelylow (<2% of nestsparasitized). However, nesting success was moderate(daily survivalrate = 0.958)when comparedwith otherpublished studies from more-fragmented landscapes.Our resultssuggest that daily nestsurvival rates do not increasemonotonically from smallto very largeforest patches. Received 31 August1998, accepted 22 March1999. GLOBALDECLINES in Wood Thrush (Hylocich- Midwest probably is insufficient to maintain la mustelina)populations are evident from an- the breedingpopulations in many fragments.

  • A Birder's Guide to Cook County, Northeastern Minnesota Birding
    A Birder’s Guide to Cook County, Northeastern Minnesota This guide will help you find the birds of Cook County, one of the best birding areas in the upper midwest. The shore of Lake Superior and the wildlands of the northeast are natural treasures that are especially rich in birds. Descriptions of the locatoins can be found inside, along with information about how to make the most of your birding during each season of the year. Birding around the year Spring: The migration is always most exciting along the shore of Lake Superior. Spring migration is smaller than fall, but spring specialties include Tundra Swan, Sandhill Crane, Gray-cheeked Thrush, American Tree Sparrow, Harris’ Sparrow, Lapland Longspur and Rusty Blackbird. Boreal species like Black-backed Woodpecker, Boreal Owl and Northern Saw-whet Owl begin nesting during spring, which can begin as early as March and extend until June. Summer: In summer the excitement moves inland where specialties inclue Common Loon, American Black Duck, Bald Eagle, Ruffled Grouse, American Woodcock, Black-billed Cuckoo, Barred Owl, Northern Saw- whet Owl, Whip-poor-will, Olive-sided, Yellow-bellied, and Alder Flycatchers, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Winter and Sedge Wrens, 20 species of warblers, Le Conte’s Sparrow, and Evening Grosbeak. The summer breeding season extends from late May through early August. Autumn: the fall migration along the Norht Shore of Lake Superior is not to be missed! Beginning with the sight of thousands of Common Nighthawks in late August, the sheer quantity of birds moving down the shore makes this area a world-class migration route.
