  • Lesser Snow Goose EN
    Introduction This bird • has evolved a strong serrated bill and tongue to cut and tear the roots of bulrushes and sedges • often has a rusty orange face, because its feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the bird feeds • is probably the most abundant goose in Canada • unlike most other waterfowl, usually nests in large colonies with densities of up to 2 000 pairs per square kilometre Description The Lesser Snow Goose Chen caerulescens caerulescens has two different appearances, white phase and blue phase. The plumage of white-phase geese is almost completely white, except for black wing tips. The blue-phase goose has a white head, a bluish colour on the feathers of the lower back and flanks, and a body that ranges in colour from very pale, almost white, to very dark. Both the white- and blue-phase snow geese frequently have rusty orange faces, because their feathers have been stained by iron in the earth where the birds feed. The downy goslings of the white-phase geese are yellow, those of the blue phase nearly black. By two months of age the young birds of both colour phases are grey with black wing tips, although the immature blue-phase birds are generally a darker grey and have some light feathers on the chin and throat, which can become stained like those of the adults. The goslings have mostly lost their grey coloring by the following spring; in April and May they may only show a few flecks of darker coloring on their head and neck, and a few grey feathers on their wings that distinguish them from adults.

  • THE ALEUTIAN CACKLING GOOSE in ARIZONA DAVID VANDER PLUYM, 2841 Mcculloch Blvd
    THE ALEUTIAN CACKLING GOOSE IN ARIZONA DAVID VANDER PLUYM, 2841 McCulloch Blvd. N #1, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, 86403; [email protected] ABSTRACT: There is little published information about the occurrence of the Aleutian Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii leucopareia) in Arizona. Formerly listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this subspecies has rebounded, leading to an increase in numbers occurring outside its core range, including Arizona. Since the first in 1975, at least 24 well-founded records for Arizona have accumulated, one supported by a specimen, two by band recoveries, and 20 by diagnostic photo- graphs. Since 2013 the Aleutian Cackling Goose has occurred in Arizona annually between November and February. It is most frequent along the Colorado River, but records extend as far east as Willcox, Cochise County. The taxonomy of the “white-cheeked” geese is complex and debated. Currently, most treatments list 11 or 12 taxa in this group, and Banks et al. (2004) split them into two species: the Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) and the Canada Goose (B. canadensis). Taxonomists generally recognize four extant subspecies of the Cackling Goose: hutchinsii, taverneri, minima, and leucopareia (Aleutian Cackling Goose). The now extinct population formerly breeding in the Commander and Kuril islands in Russia and wintering south to Japan has been considered a separate subspecies, asiatica (Banks et al. 2004), or a western population of leucopareia (e.g., Baldassarre 2014, Reeber 2015). Birds discovered breeding on the Semidi Islands in 1979 and wintering in coastal Oregon are phenotypically interme- diate between other populations of leucopareia and taverneri (Hatch and Hatch 1983) and do differ genetically from other populations of leucopareia, but they likely represent distinct populations of leucopareia rather than a valid separate taxon (Pierson et al.

  • The Status and Occurrence of Emperor Goose (Chen Canagica) in British Columbia
    The Status and Occurrence of Emperor Goose (Chen canagica) in British Columbia. By Rick Toochin and Jamie Fenneman. Introduction and Distribution The Emperor Goose (Chen canagica) is largely restricted to the Bering Sea region of the North Pacific throughout the year (Schmutz et al. 2011). The species breeds in coastal habitats of western Alaska, including the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, Seward Peninsula, and St. Lawrence Island, as well as along the coast of Russia from the Chukchi Peninsula south to Anadyr Bay (Schmutz et al. 2011). Most of the world’s population winters along the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula, regularly occurring east to Kodiak Island (Schmutz et al. 2011). This Bering Sea species is a rare annual vagrant found south along the Pacific coast of North America, with numerous records south to southern California (Hamilton et al. 2007). Most records south of Alaska are from coastal habitats, although there are also many records from inland areas that support large numbers of wintering waterfowl south of British Columbia, including California’s Central Valley (Hamilton et al. 2007), Oregon’s Willamette Valley (Pacific Flyway Council 1998), and the Klamath Basin of northern California and southern Oregon (Hamilton et al. 2007).The only U.S. inland record away from the Pacific states is a bird collected in November 2000 in southern Idaho (IBRC 2014). Vagrants have also occurred south along the Pacific coast of Asia to Japan as well as in Hawaii (both singles and small flocks) (Schmutz et al. 2011). Although this species experienced population declines between the 1960s and 1980s, recent surveys suggest that populations have stabilized or even increased slightly over 1980s levels (Schmutz et al.

  • The Structure and Composition of Vegetation in the Lake-Fill Peatlands of Indiana
    2001. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 10:51-78 THE STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF VEGETATION IN THE LAKE-FILL PEATLANDS OF INDIANA Anthony L. Swinehart 1 and George R. Parker: Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 Daniel E. Wujek: Department of Biology, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48859 ABSTRACT. The vegetation of 16 lake-fill peatlands in northern Indiana was systematically sampled. Peatland types included fens, tall shrub bogs, leatherleaf bogs and forested peatlands. No significant difference in species richness among the four peatland types was identified from the systematic sampling. Vegetation composition and structure, along with water chemistry variables, was analyzed using multi- variate statistical analysis. Alkalinity and woody plant cover accounted for much of the variability in the herbaceous and ground layers of the peatlands, and a successional gradient separating the peatlands was evident. A multivariate statistical comparison of leatherleaf bogs from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire was made on the basis of vegetation composition and frequency and five climatic variables. The vascular vegetation communities of Indiana peatlands and other peatlands in the southern Great Lakes region are distinct from those in the northeastern U.S., Ohio and the northern Great Lakes. Some of these distinctions are attributed to climatic factors, while others are related to biogeo- graphic history of the respective regions. Keywords: Peatlands, leatherleaf bogs, fens, ecological succession, phytogeography Within midwestern North America, the such as Chamaedaphne calyculata, Androm- northern counties of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio eda glaucophylla, and Carex oligospermia of- 1 represent the southern extent of peatland com- ten make "southern outlier peatlands ' con- munities containing characteristic plant spe- spicuous to botanists, studies of such cies of northern or boreal affinity.
