Development of Management Objectives for Breeding Birds in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley Allan J. Mueller , Daniel J. Twedt , and Charles R. Loesch ABSTRACT Although every physiographic area is unique, the methodology applied here should be applicable in other situations. INTRODUCTION Bird Conservation Plans (BCPs) for each physiographic area will make critical contributions to the national Partners In Flight (PIF) conservation plan. To be most useful, these regional BCPs should promote on-the-ground conservation actions by developing quantified, site-specific habitat and population objectives. As a model for the PIF planning process, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan has had great success in putting conservation on the ground through the preparation of detailed regional plans with objectives that focus conservation efforts, provide funding justifications, and provide perspective on the "big picture." Frequently we do not have firm scientific information to quantify conservation issues. However, if we wait for all of the information that we think we require, the time for effective conservation action may pass. We therefore must move forward and make conservation recommendations as soon as possible, based on the best information currently available. As new information becomes known, recommendations can be modified. This iterative method of operation, called adaptive management, is becoming widely accepted in the conservation/scientific community (Franklin 1995, Kirchhoff et al. 1995, Meffe and Viederman 1995, Petit et al. 1995). This paper presents a general model for setting detailed, regional bird conservation objectives, and describes the application of this model, using the best available information in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV).

The Breeding Birds of Lake View Cemetery Available in booklet form at the Garfield Monument in Lake View Cemetery. Introduction While notable for its natural history, the cemetery is of interest for its architecture and the fame of many of those interred there. The James A. Garfield Monument, a memorial to the 20th president, rises above the trees and provides the best view of the lake. The Wade Memorial Chapel, with its exquisite interior, designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, sits between the ponds. A large obelisk marks the grave of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller, whose Cleveland estate is now Forest Hill Park, adjacent to the cemetery on the northeast. Lake View is also the burial site of Jared Potter Kirtland, early local naturalist for whom the endangered Kirtland's Warbler was named, and Arthur B. Williams, author of Birds of the Cleveland Region (1950), naturalist at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and pioneer in breeding bird census techniques. I have birded in Lake View Cemetery since 1971 when I lived across the street. In addition to working on the Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas in Lake View, I have participated in the Cleveland Christmas Bird Count by covering Lake View Cemetery since 1975, led spring bird walks there in 1985 and conducted hawk watches as part of area-wide projects sponsored by the Kirtland Bird Club. I have seen many changes in the cemetery and welcome today's open atmosphere and recognition of Lake View Cemetery as an outdoor museum for the living.

See Appendix A for a list of all species observed in Lake View. order and names according to the AOU Checklist, 6th ed., 41st supplement Least Bittern Great Blue Heron *Green Heron Turkey Vulture ... Part 3, Thrushes to House Sparrow Least Bittern Ixobrychus exilis . A male calling softly during the day in cattails on the lower pond 2 through 6 June 1984 was undoubtedly unmated. Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias . Individuals are occasionally seen flying by or on the ponds. This colonial nester does not have a colony in or near the cemetery. *Green Heron Butorides virescens . Adults were seen feeding on the ponds every summer prior to draining of the lower pond in 1989. Two adults were feeding at least three downy young, about two weeks old, on 29 June 1985 at a nest along the brook near the upper pond. This species no longer summers in the cemetery. Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura . Birds are often seen in flight but never perched. This species travels considerable distances to feed. *Canada Goose Branta canadensis . Geese have nested annually since 1975 in the pond areas and subsequently many additional locations. In 1975 a pair nested on an insular area of the upper pond which was long the prime location. The nest was completed 19 April and incubation began immediately. The female was restless on 17 May and had three goslings on 21 May. The two goslings still present on 31 May were raised to maturity. By 1983 the number of geese summering may have been in excess of 80 when at least five pairs attempted to nest. One pair hatched at least two, but neither survived. The fifth pair, whose nest above the dam was never found, had young and eventually raised four goslings. The other three nests were unsuccessful, including the very natural appearing one built on a muskrat house on the lower pond. These incidences of nest failure and juvenile mortality illustrate the low survival experienced by waterfowl which hampers efforts to verify nesting attempts by less numerous and obvious species.

Michael Conner (Associate Scientist) and Brandon Rutledge (Lead Technician) The longleaf pine ( Pinus palustris ) ecosystem is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States. Recent incentives have led to increased interest in longleaf pine restoration. These restoration efforts often emphasize reestablishing native groundcovers, yet there have been no studies that address the role of native groundcover on breeding bird communities within longleaf pine forests. Therefore, we studied breeding bird communities in mature longleaf pine stands with either native or disturbed groundcovers to determine the likely effects of groundcover reestablishment associated with longleaf pine reforestation. Avian species richness and diversity did not differ ( P P = 0.571; respectively), and avian community similarity was high (Morisita's index = 0.98) between native and disturbed groundcover. However, pine warblers (

Breeding birds were not censused during 1995 when the plots were harvested. A summary of the response of these bird species to harvesting will be completed by 1998. GOALS To identify the spatial arrangement of territories and habitat preferences of breeding birds in the Hayward Brook Watershed Study area. METHODS A standard territory mapping method was used to sample bird communities on all the plots. Each plot was surveyed 6-7 times during the breeding season (May - July). Bird observations also extended 50 m outside of plot boundaries in order to identify bird territories which extended outside the plot area. Data collected included species and sex of bird, use of song, use of calls, displays of courtship behaviour, aggressive interactions, nest building, nest use and food carrying. The information was plotted on species maps which showed which species were present, where and when observed, and - if possible - what their behaviour was like.

American Golden-Plover Field Report: Photographing Arctic Breeding Birds With The Canon EOS D30 Digital SLR There is an abundance of reviews of the Canon D30 semi-professional digital SLR in the press and on the Internet. What follows is not another review, but a field report of this photographer's experience photographing Arctic breeding birds with the D30 for a week in Churchill, Manitoba. Getting Started My photography is focused mainly on birds using Canon EOS 35mm equipment, specifically the EOS 3, EF 500/4.5 L and an assortment of smaller lenses. For some time now I've been anxious to make the move to digital. So, when the opportunity to borrow a D30 for an upcoming trip to Churchill, Manitoba with Arthur Morris presented itself, I couldn't pass it up. I was excited to use the D30, but I was also a little hesitant. Although the D30 is reputed to produce excellent images, reports of lackluster auto focus and a relatively slow frame rate led me to consider it "not quite there yet" for use as a serious bird photographer's tool. I would definitely pack my trusted EOS 3 and plenty of film in case the D30 didn't work out. I wasn't about to take an unfamiliar camera on such an important trip without first getting comfortable with it, so I tested the D30 for two days before leaving for Churchill. After skimming through the manual and setting up the camera's custom functions to my liking, I was quickly on my way to making beautiful bird photos with the D30. With the exception of an LCD screen and a vertical row of buttons on the back of the camera, the D30 looks and operates just like any other mid-range EOS I have used. Once the menu options are set the way you want them, you will rarely need to refer to the LCD and can operate the camera almost entirely by the familiar EOS dials and buttons.

Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee Back to the TOS Page Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee Charles P. Nicholson This atlas provides ornithologists, ecologists, and birdwatchers with an invaluable resource for monitoring birds within the state. It offers the first fully documented account of distribution patterns for 170 species confirmed as breeding in Tennessee, as well as for several unconfirmed or extirpated species. The species list includes permanent residents, short-distance migrants, neotropical migrants, and endangered species. Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee is based on research conducted from 1986 through 1991 by the Tennessee Ornithological Society and is the first study of its kind ever published for the state. It reviews the methodology employed in the study, which included innovative miniroute censuses. It features detailed accounts of individual species which include both grid maps that plot their distribution and contour maps that reflect their relative abundance. The accompanying text for each species discusses its geographical and historical occurence, cites habitat preferences, and offers notes on breeding biology such as nest placement and clutch size. Line drawings accurately portray the birds in the nesting cycle. In addition to this wealth of data on individual species, the atlas provides background information on the physical and cultural geography of Tennessee and on patterns of land-use change that followed the arrival of European settlers. It also presents the most comprehensive history of ornithology in the state yet published.

Cahill announced today. The project will enlist volunteer bird watchers to help document where each of the more than 240 bird species breed in the state. The effort will culminate in a published atlas that will provide important information for use in conservation, environmental review and land-use planning. "The Breeding Bird Atlas is being initiated during an especially productive period of wildlife conservation in the Empire State," Commissioner Cahill said. "New Yorkers are now able to enjoy the results of the successful restoration of bald eagles, peregrine falcons and wild turkeys to their native habitats across the state." This is the second major undertaking to locate bird species and document their breeding habits in the Empire State. New York's first Breeding Bird Atlas was conducted from 1980 to 1985 and resulted in the 1988 publication, The Atlas of Breeding Birds in New York State. While bird atlases have been completed in many other states, including Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, New York will be the first state to update its initial effort.

Breeding Birds A Profitable Hobby by D. Marlena Should you desire to breed on a small scale or specialize in a certain field locating bird clubs in your area can be very rewarding . If you would like to specialize in show birds of any type, you can almost always find a local group willing to share experience and help to their members. There are local, county, state and national clubs, so there is no limit of groups to which you can be a part. Your local library can furnish numerous reference books of choice and many libraries are now computerized enabling you to do extensive research. Your local feed store is also a good source of supplies as a rule. They can usually provide you with a variety of breeding cages and/or the name of someone who makes wire cages. Often you can have cages built to your specifications. There are all types of birds that can be raised for the pet industry and an introduction to this market will be introduced about the middle of February in this location. I will be

Breeding Birds For The Pet Industry by D. Marlena Most birds can be profitable if selection is made carefully . One thing to first consider is marketability If there is a surplus in your choice of birds to breed, then there is little chance that you can profit monetarily . There are few areas of the country that has no one breeding birds . This is usually a very cold or hot climate . It can be a lucrative area if planning is instituted. Extreme cold? Do you have an area that can be well insulated and furnished with heat lamps? Excessive heat? Do you have the ability to insulate and provide air conditioning? If you only want to breed a few pair, how about converting a room in your house or perhaps your garage has space. If a garage is used, please remember you will not be able to store a car. When you start or run your car, carbon monoxide can quickly kill your birds If this is your first bird breeding experience , why not begin with types that are easy to care for and can give a good return on your investment Cockatiels, canaries

60. Stinchfield Woods Breeding Birds Survey For a decade, volunteers have participated in the Stinchfield Woods breeding birdsSurvey by counting birds heard and seen on a Saturday morning in early June. http://www.si.umich.edu/~ylime/NewFiles/stinchfield.html

Stinchfield Woods is located in northwestern Washtenaw County in Michigan's lower peninsula about 20 miles northwest of Ann Arbor. The Woods features 777 acres of conifer plantations and stands of native hardwoods, mostly oaks and hickories, and is managed by the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources. For a decade, volunteers have participated in the Stinchfield Woods Breeding Birds Survey by counting birds heard and seen on a Saturday morning in early June. The count typically yields species from Michigan's north such as Pine and Black-throated Green Warblers, Solitary Vireos, and Red-breasted Nuthatches. The count for year 2002 took place on Saturday, June 8, 2002. Thirteen birders divided into five groups and found 61 species and 806 individuals. This year's total was only surpassed in 1995 with a record 68 species and 846 individuals. For ten years, 1993 to 2002, the count has averaged 58 species and 744 individuals. Consult the table below for species heard and seen from 1998 to 2002. The table will grow in the years to come. An issue of Michigan Birding and Natural History gives a five-year summary and interpretation of the count by two longtime volunteers, J. Latham Claflin and John M. Swales.
