Here in North America, birds that live on or near the ground. The sparrows are divided into 13 genera, which also cryptic blend of gray, white, black, and brown includes the towhees (genus Pipilo), longspurs hues which comprise a typical sparrow’s color (genus Calcarius), juncos (genus Junco), and pattern is the result of tens of thousands of Lark Bunting (genus Calamospiza) – all of sparrow generations living in grassland and which are technically sparrows. Emberizidae is brushland habitats. The triangular or cone- a large family, containing well over 300 species shaped bills inherent to most all sparrow species are perfectly adapted for a life of granivory – of crushing and husking seeds. “Of Louisiana’s 33 recorded sparrows, Sparrows possess well-developed claws on their toes, the evolutionary result of so much time spent on the ground, scratching for seeds only seven species breed here...” through leaf litter and other duff.

  • Black-Capped Gnatcatcher, a New Breeding Bird for the United States; with a Key to the North American Species of Polioptila
    THE AUK A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY VOL. 90 AvmL 1973 No. 2 BLACK-CAPPED GNATCATCHER, A NEW BREEDING BIRD FOR THE UNITED STATES; WITH A KEY TO THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF POLIOPTILA ALLAN R. PHILLIPS,STEVEN SPEICI-I, AND WILLIAM HARRISON ON 22 June 1971 one of us (S.S.) collecteda family of five gnat- catchers,including three fledglings,along Sonoita Creek, 8.5 km north- east of Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The adults, male and female, were later determinedon careful comparisonto be Black-capped Gnatcatchers(Polioptila nigriceps), an endemicspecies of northwestern Mexico never previously recorded in the United States. Hitherto the northernmostrecords had been east-southeastof Hermosillo, Sonora (van Rossem,1945) and near Ures, northeastof Hermosillo (Phillips, 1962), localitiesapproximately 240 and 210 km, respectively,south of Nogales. Thenceit rangessouth to Colima. Friedmann (1957) recognizedtwo races,restricta Brewsterof Sonora and adjacent Chihuahua and nominate nigricepsBaird of Sinaloa and Durango to Colima; these he regarded,however, as subspeciesof the more southeasternP. albiloris--a treatment with which we cannot agree (see below). Brewster'sname refers presumablyto the more restricted black capsof his Sonoramales, which howeverwere taken in late winter and probably had not completed the prealternate (prenuptial) molt; whereasBaird's type was in worn summerplumage. Though this char- acter has been generallyrecognized, no differencein the extent of black, accordingto geographicarea, is obviousto us. There is, however,a cline of increasingsize, best marked in tail length, northward; on this basis birdsof northernSinaloa are nearestrestricta, though somewhat variable, and all Sonorabirds are restricta. The Arizona pair, thoughworn, are of maximumdimensions: wing (chord) 49.8 mm in the male (48.1 in female); tail 55.6 (54.5 in female, despite the loss of the central pair of rectrices).

Its breeding, migratory and wintering ranges fall within the jurisdiction of 11 nations, all CITES Parties, including the proponents. The global breeding population of Passerina ciris is divided between two of the range countries, 80% in the United States and 20% in Mexico (Rich et al. 2004). During the breeding season this species is distributed in two disjunctive populations: the eastern breeding population ranges from the Atlantic Coast of the United States, including the barrier islands, from North Carolina south to central Florida.

    Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brandan L. Gray August 2019 © 2019 Brandan L. Gray. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers by BRANDAN L. GRAY has been approved for the Department of Biological Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences by Donald B. Miles Professor of Biological Sciences Florenz Plassmann Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT GRAY, BRANDAN L., Ph.D., August 2019, Biological Sciences Ecology, Morphology, and Behavior in the New World Wood Warblers Director of Dissertation: Donald B. Miles In a rapidly changing world, species are faced with habitat alteration, changing climate and weather patterns, changing community interactions, novel resources, novel dangers, and a host of other natural and anthropogenic challenges. Conservationists endeavor to understand how changing ecology will impact local populations and local communities so efforts and funds can be allocated to those taxa/ecosystems exhibiting the greatest need. Ecological morphological and functional morphological research form the foundation of our understanding of selection-driven morphological evolution. Studies which identify and describe ecomorphological or functional morphological relationships will improve our fundamental understanding of how taxa respond to ecological selective pressures and will improve our ability to identify and conserve those aspects of nature unable to cope with rapid change. The New World wood warblers (family Parulidae) exhibit extensive taxonomic, behavioral, ecological, and morphological variation.

  • Washita Battlefield National Historic Site Bird Checklist
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Southern Plains Inventory & Monitoring Network Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Washita Battlefield National Historic Monument Bird Checklist EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICATM Washita Battlefield National Historic Site preserves and protects the site of the Battle of the Washita when the 7th US Cavalry under Lt. Col. George A. Custer attacked the Southern Cheyenne village of Peace Chief Black Kettle along the Washita River on November 27, 1868. The historic site promotes public understanding of the attack and the importance of the diverse perspectives related to the struggles that transpired between the Southern Great Plains tribes and the US government. The site’s natural landscape and cultural heritage are intertwined; both are managed to evoke a sense of place and reflect the setting of the Cheyenne encampment. The grasslands Northern and river bottoms were home to native cultures, and the native flora Cardinal and fauna were essential to the way of life for plains tribes. The park’s landscape contains a diversity of bird habitats ranging from the riparian area along the Washita River to grasslands and shrublands on the floodplain and uplands. At least 132 different species of birds have been documented in the historic site. Walking the park’s trail is the best way to view birds in the historic site. The 1.5-mile trail passes through grassland with sand sage and yucca before dropping down to the floodplain and the Washita River and then returning to the parking lot. Most of the wildlife that inhabit the Washita area are secretive in their activities.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines.
