  • 111 Historical Notes on Whooping Cranes at White
    HISTORICAL NOTES ON WHOOPING CRANES AT WHITE LAKE, LOUISIANA: THE JOHN J. LYNCH INTERVIEWS, 1947-1948 GAY M. GOMEZ, Department of Social Sciences, McNeese State University, Box 92335, Lake Charles, LA 70609, USA RODERICK C. DREWIEN, Hornocker Wildlife Institute, University of Idaho, 3346 E 200 N, Rigby, ID 83442, USA MARY LYNCH COURVILLE, John J. Lynch American Natural Heritage Park, 1393 Henderson Highway, Breaux Bridge, LA 70517, USA Abstract: In May 1939 biologist John J. Lynch of the U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey conducted an aerial survey that documented the existence of a non-migratory population of whooping cranes (Grus americana) near White Lake in southwest Louisiana. Lynch found 13 cranes, including 2 pre-fledged young, confirming breeding. Lynch’s survey occurred, in part, because fur trappers and alligator hunters working in the White Lake marshes had informed the biologist of the cranes’ presence and habits. Lynch con- tinued his contacts with these knowledgeable marsh users, and in 1947 and 1948 interviewed at least 7 individuals. In 2001, M. L. Courville, along with her sister Nora Z. Lynch, discovered the interview notes among their father’s papers. The notes contain information on the Louisiana non-migratory population’s range, abundance, habitat use, feeding behavior, nesting, and young, including survival of twins; they also include a small amount of information on sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) and migratory whooping cranes. Both Lynch and Robert P. Allen relied heavily on this “traditional ecological knowledge” in their accounts of non-migratory whooping cranes in southwest Louisiana. Because of their biological and historical significance, the interview notes are reproduced in this paper.

  • Wisconsin Bird Nesting Dates for Species Tracked by the Natural
    Introduction to the “Wisconsin Bird Nesting Dates (Avoidance Period) for Species Tracked by the Natural Heritage Inventory” The table “Wisconsin Bird Nesting Dates (Avoidance Period) for Species Tracked by the Natural Heritage Inventory” below, provides guidance to DNR staff and external certified reviewers who use the NHI Portal for Endangered Resources reviews. This guidance was developed by a team of Natural Heritage Conservation program staff from DNR using the best available information for species on the Natural Heritage Working List. The Nesting Dates (Avoidance Period) table was developed to help customers comply with State and Federal laws and thus avoid “intentional taking, killing, or possession” of bird nests, eggs, and body parts. For each species, the avoidance dates are the period each year when birds are most vulnerable because there are eggs or flightless chicks in nests. Species tracked by the Natural Heritage Inventory include endangered, threatened and special concern species. Avoidance of these nesting dates is required for endangered and threatened species and recommended (voluntary) for special concern species. For more information on rare bird species, see the Rare Bird webpage.

  • Northern Bobwhite Colinus Virginianus Photo by SC DNR
    Supplemental Volume: Species of Conservation Concern SC SWAP 2015 Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus Photo by SC DNR Contributor (2005): Billy Dukes (SCDNR) Reviewed and Edited (2012): Billy Dukes (SCDNR) DESCRIPTION Taxonomy and Basic Description In 1748, Catesby gave the Bobwhite quail the name Perdix sylvestris virginiana. In 1758, Linnaeus dropped the generic name Perdix and substituted Tetrao. The generic name Colinus was first used by Goldfuss in 1820 and, despite several ensuing name changes, became the accepted nomenclature (Rosene 1984). Bobwhite quail are members of the family Odontophoridae, the New World quail. Bobwhite quail are predominantly reddish-brown, with lesser amounts of white, brown, gray and black throughout. Both sexes have a dark stripe that originates at the beak and runs through the eye to the base of the skull. In males, the stripe above and below the eye is white, as is the throat patch. In females, this stripe and throat patch are light brown or tan. Typical weights for Bobwhites in South Carolina range from 160 to 180 g (5.6 to 6.3 oz.). Overall length throughout the range of the species is between 240 and 275 mm (9.5 and 10.8 in.) (Rosene 1984). Status Bobwhite quail are still widely distributed throughout their historic range. However, North American Breeding Bird Survey data indicate a significant range-wide decline of 3.8% annually between the years 1966 and 2009 (Sauer et al. 2004). In South Carolina, quail populations have declined at a rate of 6.1% annually since 1966 (Sauer et al. 2011). While not on the Partners in Flight Watch List, the concern for Northern Bobwhite is specifically mentioned Figure 1: Average summer distribution of northern bobwhite quail due to significant population declines 1994-2003.
