    Kansas Ornithological Society BULLETIN PUBLISHED QUARTERLY Vol. 60 December, 2009 No. 4 FISH CROW (Corvus ossifragus) RANGE EXPANSION IN KANSAS Tyler L. Hicks1 1Washington State University Vancouver, Science Program, 14024 NE Salmon Creek Ave., Vancouver, WA 98686 ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) has been expanding its range across North America. In the last quarter century the species has made significant advances into Kansas. Utilizing a wide variety of professional and amateur ornithologist’s records I constructed a database of Fish Crow sightings in Kansas during the past 25 years. Utilizing this database and ArcGIS mapping systems I determined the phenology and mapped the current range of Fish Crow in Kansas. In addition, I calculated temporal and spatial rates of expansion for the Fish Crow across the state. I found over 480 individual Fish Crows have been recorded in 20 counties in the south-central and eastern regions of the state. Expansion across the state varied temporally and spatially with the majority of Fish Crow expansion taking place between 1999 and 2009. Expansion rates statewide averaged ~ 18 km/year. However, patterns and rates of expansion along river systems varied drastically. INTRODUCTION The Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) is a medium-sized, all-black corvid that can be found in forested riparian areas in eastern and south-central Kansas. Until recently their distribution was restricted to the far southeastern corner of the state, primarily along the Spring River drainage in Cherokee County (Thompson and Ely 1992). The species has been expanding its range for the past 50 years in Missouri and Oklahoma, where it was first documented in 1954 and 1955 respectfully and had spread to counties bordering Kansas by the mid-1980’s (Wilhelm 1960, Baumgartner and Baumgartner 1992, Robbins and Easterla 1992).

  • Visual Displays and Their Context in the Painted Bunting
    Wilson Bull., 96(3), 1984, pp. 396-407 VISUAL DISPLAYS AND THEIR CONTEXT IN THE PAINTED BUNTING SCOTT M. LANYON AND CHARLES F. THOMPSON The 12 species in the bunting genus Passerina have proved to be a popular source of material for studies of vocalizations (Rice and Thomp- son 1968; Thompson 1968, 1970, 1972; Shiovitz and Thompson 1970; Forsythe 1974; Payne 1982) migration (Emlen 1967a, b; Emlen et al. 1976) systematics (Sibley and Short 1959; Emlen et al. 1975), and mating systems (Carey and Nolan 1979, Carey 1982). Despite this interest, few detailed descriptions of the behavior of any member of this genus have been published. In this paper we describe aspects of courtship and ter- ritorial behavior of the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris). STUDY AREA AND METHODS The study was conducted on St. Catherines Island, a barrier island approximately 50 km south of Savannah, Georgia. The 90-ha study area (“Briar Field” Thomas et al. [1978: Fig. 41) on the western side of the island borders extensive salt marshes dominated by cordgrasses (Spartina spp.). The tracts’ evergreen oak forest (Braun 1964:303) consists primarily of oaks (Quercus spp.) and pines (Pinus spp.), with scattered hickories (Carya spp.) and palmettos (Sabal spp. and Serenoe repens) also present. Undergrowth was scanty so that buntings were readily visible when on the ground. As part of a study of mating systems, more than 1800 h were devoted to watching buntings during daily fieldwork in the 1976-1979 breeding seasons. In 1976 and 1977 observations commenced the third week of May, after breeding had begun, and continued until breeding ended in early August.

  • Prey Records for the Eastern Indigo Snake {Drymarchon Couperi)
    2010 SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 9(1):1-18 Prey Records for the Eastern Indigo Snake {Drymarchon couperi) Dirk J. Stevenson'*, M. Rebecca Bolt^ Daniel J. Smith', Kevin M. Enge^ Natalie L. Hyslop'^ Terry M. Norton'•^ and Karen J. Abstract - Prey items for the federally protected Easteni Indigo Snake (Drymarchort couperi) were compiled from published and gray literature, field observations, necrop- sies, dissection of museum specimens, and personal communications from reliable sources. One hundred and eighty-six records were obtained for 48 different prey spe- cies. Anurans, Gopher Tortoises, snakes, and rodents comprised ca. 85% of the prey items. Most records (n = 143) that mentioned size were from adult indigos; 17 were from juveniles. Prey records were collected from 1940-2008 and were available for all months of the year. These data confirm that Eastern Indigo Snakes eat a wide assortment of prey of varying sizes. This strategy allows D. couperi to potentially forage success- fully in many different types of habitats and under fluctuating environmental conditions, a valuable trait for a lop-level predator that requires a large home range. IatroducHon Drymarchon couperi Holbrook (Eastern Indigo Snake), with a maximum recorded total length of 2629 mm, is one of the largest snakes in North America (Conant and Collins 1991). It has been federally listed as Threat- ened since 1978 under the Endangered Species Act (US Fish and Wildlife Service 1978). Drymarchon couperi is diurnal and mostly terrestrial (Layne and Steiner 1996, US Fish and Wildlife Service 2008). Of the two main hunt- ing strategies employed by snakes (ambush predator vs. active forager; see Mushinsky 1987), D.

  • Contributions of Intensively Managed Forests to the Sustainability of Wildlife Communities in the South
    CONTRIBUTIONS OF INTENSIVELY MANAGED FORESTS TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF WILDLIFE COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH T. Bently Wigley1, William M. Baughman, Michael E. Dorcas, John A. Gerwin, J. Whitfield Gibbons, David C. Guynn, Jr., Richard A. Lancia, Yale A. Leiden, Michael S. Mitchell, Kevin R. Russell ABSTRACT Wildlife communities in the South are increasingly influenced by land use changes associated with human population growth and changes in forest management strategies on both public and private lands. Management of industry-owned landscapes typically results in a diverse mixture of habitat types and spatial arrangements that simultaneously offers opportunities to maintain forest cover, address concerns about fragmentation, and provide habitats for a variety of wildlife species. We report here on several recent studies of breeding bird and herpetofaunal communities in industry-managed landscapes in South Carolina. Study landscapes included the 8,100-ha GilesBay/Woodbury Tract, owned and managed by International Paper Company, and 62,363-ha of the Ashley and Edisto Districts, owned and managed by Westvaco Corporation. Breeding birds were sampled in both landscapes from 1995-1999 using point counts, mist netting, nest searching, and territory mapping. A broad survey of herpetofauna was conducted during 1996-1998 across the Giles Bay/Woodbury Tract using a variety of methods, including: searches of natural cover objects, time-constrained searches, drift fences with pitfall traps, coverboards, automated recording systems, minnow traps, and turtle traps. Herpetofaunal communities were sampled more intensively in both landscapes during 1997-1999 in isolated wetland and selected structural classes. The study landscapes supported approximately 70 bird and 72 herpetofaunal species, some of which are of conservation concern.

  • A Study of Food and Feeding Habits of Blue Peafowl, Pavo Cristatus Linnaeus, 1758 in District Kurukshetra, Haryana (India)
    International Journal of Research Studies in Biosciences (IJRSB) Volume 2, Issue 6, July 2014, PP 11-16 ISSN 2349-0357 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0365 (Online) www.arcjournals.org A Study of Food and Feeding Habits of Blue Peafowl, Pavo Cristatus Linnaeus, 1758 in District Kurukshetra, Haryana (India) Girish Chopra, Tarsem Kumar Department of Zoology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra-136119 (INDIA) [email protected] Summary: Present study was conducted to determine the food and feeding habits of blue peafowl in three study sites, namely, Saraswati plantation wildlife sanctuary (SPWS), Bir Sonti Reserve Forest (BSRF), and Jhrouli Kalan village (JKAL). Point count method (Blondel et al., 1981) was followed during periodic fortnightly visits to all the three selected study sites. The peafowls were observed to feed on flowers, fruits, leaves of 11, 8 and 8 plant species respectively. These were sighted to feed on Brassica compestris (flowers, leaves), Trifolium alexandarium (flowers, leaves), Triticum aestivum (flowers, leaves, fruits), Oryza sativa (flowers, leaves, fruits), Chenopodium album (flowers, leaves, fruits), Parthenium histerophoresus (flowers, leaves), Pisum sativum (flowers, leaves, fruits), Cicer arientum (flowers, leaves, fruits), Pyrus pyrifolia (flowers, fruits), Ficus benghalensis (flowers, fruits), Ficus rumphii (flowers, fruits). They were also observed feeding on insects in all three study sites and on remains of the snake bodies at the BSRF and JKAL study site. The findings revealed that the Indian peafowl, on one hand, functions as a predator of agricultural pests but, on the other hand, is itself a pest on agricultural crops. Keywords: Blue peafowl, Food, Feeding Habits, Herbs, Shrubs, Trees. 1. INTRODUCTION Birds are warm-blooded, bipedal, oviparous vertebrates characterized by bony beak, pneumatic bones, feathers and wings.

PETERSON* Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Inc. Division of Marine Science 5600 Old Dixie Highway Ft. Pierce, FL 34946, USA. Telephone: (601) 325-3120 (Received 19 December 1989) Abstract-I. Laboratory measurements (30°C and 300/00 salinity) were made of plasma osmolality, plasma chloride ion concentration, hematocrit, oxygen consumption and survival of sheepshead minnow, • Cyprinodon oariegatus Lacepede and sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna (Lesueur) under normoxic (150 mm Hg) and hypoxic (40 mm Hg) conditions. 2. Significant increases in hematocrit and reductions in oxygen consumption were documented for both species. Plasma osmolality increased in sheepshead minnows while in hypoxic conditions but plasma " chloride did not change from values in 150mm Hg in either species. There was no mortality in either species during the 24 hr hypoxia survival tests.
