Herring Gulls Nesting in Artificial Goose-nesting Structures
Herring gull (Larus argentatus) nesting in artificial goose-nesting structures was documented at the Winous Point Shooting Club, Port Clinton, Ohio, 1974—78. Gulls and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) nested in 14—28% and 12—23% of the structures, respectively. Gulls nesting in the structures did not influence goose nesting. Clutch sizes and egg-laying dates were synchronous with other local po...
متن کاملCauses and Consequences of Intraspecific Variation in Nesting Behaviors: Insights from Blue Tits and Great Tits
Nest building is an important and yet under-studied stage of the reproductive cycle in many taxa, including birds, and whilst we have a decent understanding of interspecific variation in avian nesting behaviors, our understanding of intraspecific variation in nesting behaviors is much less developed. This is largely because an insufficient number of studies have been performed on any one specie...
متن کاملThe Nesting of the Great Horned Owl
ON March 19, 1926, the nest of a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus pallescens?) was found in one of the thickly wooded canyons on the military reservation, Fort Riley, Kansas, which presented an unusual opportunity for intimate study of the nest life and growth of the young from very early in their life history until the leaving of the nest. The terrain consists of rolling grass-covered hills ...
متن کاملRecent switch by the Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias fannini in the Pacific northwest to associative nesting with Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) to gain predator protection
The Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias fannini Chapman, 1901 in the Pacific northwest appears to have modified nesting behaviour in response to the strong recent recovery of the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus (L., 1766)) population. Previously undescribed, herons now often nest in close association with some breeding eagles, even though eagles depredate heron nestlings, are implicated in the...
متن کاملA rat-resistant artificial nest box for cavity-nesting birds
The puaiohi or small Kauai thrush (Myadestes palmeri) is an endangered bird endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The sole population of about 500 birds is currently restricted to remote, higher elevation areas of the Alakai Plateau. Puaiohi nest primarily on steep streamside cliffs, and their distribution and abundance are limited by availability of suitable nesting sites. Black rats (Rattus...
