-We examined Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) nest box use at the Tishorningo National Wildlife Refuge from 1999 to 2002. In 1999,25 nest boxes were installed and monitored for use by all species during 2 nesting seasons. In 2001, we installed 20 additional nest boxes and monitored all 45 nest boxes for 2 mom nesting seasons. We monitored 178 bluebird nests with a mean clutch size of 4.5 eggs. ...

Washington Ornithological Society

Five new state birds revisited Dennis Paulson InWOSNEWS 30, I asked WOS members to submit a list of the five birds they predicted would be added to the Washington state list next. I also got the experts to reply to the same request. We eight "experts" of the Washington Bird Records Committee gave it our best tries (in fits of indecision, some submitted lists of more than five, but they were pru...

Multivariate Hybrid Visualisation of Ornithological Sensor Data

To overcome the challenges of displaying multivariate sensor data, we propose a novel work-in-progress, hybrid, polar method of visualisation. Sensor data is collected by marine biologists in high volumes and using multiple sensors. Challenges arise when trying to unlock the marine wildlife behaviour from the vast amount of time series data collected. The proposed method filters uninteresting b...

Wasted Food, Wasted Nutrients: Nutrient Loss from Wasted Food in the United States and Comparison to Gaps in Dietary Intake.

BACKGROUND Previous research has estimated that wasted food in the United States contains between 1,249 and 1,400 kcal per capita per day, but little is known about amounts of other nutrients embedded in the 31% to 40% of food that is wasted. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to calculate the nutritional value of food wasted at the retail and consumer levels in the US food supply, and contextuali...
