  • 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.

  • Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List
    Draft Version Target Shorebird Species List The target species list (species to be surveyed) should not change over the course of the study, therefore determining the target species list is an important project design task. Because waterbirds, including shorebirds, can occur in very high numbers in a census area, it is often not possible to count all species without compromising the quality of the survey data. For the basic shorebird census program (protocol 1), we recommend counting all shorebirds (sub-Order Charadrii), all raptors (hawks, falcons, owls, etc.), Common Ravens, and American Crows. This list of species is available on our field data forms, which can be downloaded from this site, and as a drop-down list on our online data entry form. If a very rare species occurs on a shorebird area survey, the species will need to be submitted with good documentation as a narrative note with the survey data. Project goals that could preclude counting all species include surveys designed to search for color-marked birds or post- breeding season counts of age-classed bird to obtain age ratios for a species. When conducting a census, you should identify as many of the shorebirds as possible to species; sometimes, however, this is not possible. For example, dowitchers often cannot be separated under censuses conditions, and at a distance or under poor lighting, it may not be possible to distinguish some species such as small Calidris sandpipers. We have provided codes for species combinations that commonly are reported on censuses. Combined codes are still species-specific and you should use the code that provides as much information as possible about the potential species combination you designate.

  • 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.

(1999): Biometrics of Redshanks (Tringa totanus) caught in the region of the Gulf of Gdansk during autumn migration. Vogelwarte 40: 110-116. Biometrics of the Redshank migrating in autumn through the Gulf of Gdansk were studied between 1983 and 1990. A total of 78 adult Redshanks and 775 juveniles was caught and measured. On average all measurements of adults were longer than those of juveniles. Almost all measurements of juveniles differed significantly among half-month periods, but not seasonally (except wing length). There was a significant decrease in tarsus plus toe length from the second half of July to the first half of September. Similar trends were shown in total head length and wing length. These facts correspond with dates of arrival of birds from the “southern” and “northern” po­ pulations. Key words: Redshank (Tringa totanus), biometrics, migration, Gulf of Gdansk.

  • Pattern and Chronology of Prebasic Molt for the Wood Thrush and Its Relation to Reproduction and Migration Departure
    Wilson Bull., 110(3), 1998, pp. 384-392 PATTERN AND CHRONOLOGY OF PREBASIC MOLT FOR THE WOOD THRUSH AND ITS RELATION TO REPRODUCTION AND MIGRATION DEPARTURE J. H. VEGA RIVERA,1,3 W. J. MCSHEA,* J. H. RAPPOLE, AND C. A. HAAS ’ ABSTRACT-Documentation of the schedule and pattern of molt and their relation to reproduction and migration departure are important, but often neglected, areas of knowledge. We radio-tagged Wood Thrushes (Hylocichlu mustelina), and monitored their movements and behavior on the U.S. Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia (38” 40 ’ N, 77” 30 ’ W) from May-Oct. of 1993-1995. The molt period in adults extended from late July to early October. Molt of flight feathers lasted an average of 38 days (n = 17 birds) and there was no significant difference in duration between sexes. In 21 observed and captured individuals, all the rectrices were lost simultaneously or nearly so, and some individuals dropped several primaries over a few days. Extensive molt in Wood Thrushes apparently impaired flight efficiency, and birds at this stage were remarkably cautious and difficult to capture and observe. All breeding individuals were observed molting l-4 days after fledgling independence or last-clutch predation, except for one pair that began molt while still caring for fledglings. Our data indicate that energetics or flight efficiency constraints may dictate a separation of molt and migration. We did not observe Wood Thrushes leaving the Marine Base before completion of flight-feather molt. Departure of individuals with molt in body and head, however, was common. We caution against interpreting the lack of observations or captures of molting individuals on breeding sites as evidence that birds actually have left the area.
