SEASONAL STATUS OF THE AMERICAN PIPIT IN IDAHO
American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) Science Article 2 abstract In Idaho, the American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) has been considered primarily a migrant, either locally common but erratic (Larrison et al. 1967) or uncommon in spring and common in fall (Burleigh 1972). Several other writers considered it an abundant fall migrant but gave no indication of actual […]
Hatchability of American Pipit eggs in the Beartooth Mountains, Wyoming
American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) Science Article 1 abstract Hatchability often is reported as the proportion of eggs laid that hatch. While this may be the demographic value of ultimate interest as an index of recruitment, such broad usage makes it difficult or impossible to identify more specific proximate factors affecting hatching and the extent that […]
NESTLING MORTALITY IN SWALLOWS DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER
American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) Science Article 6 abstract For two consecutive years 24 hours or more of continuous precipitationduring early June resulted in mortality in nestlingT ree Swallows{ Iridoprocnebicolor} and Cliff Swallows {Petrochelidonp yrrhonota} in Marin County,California. There have been few reports of swallow nestling mortality caused byinclement weather in North America. Chapman (1955) […]
Deterring cliff-swallow nesting on highway structures using bioacoustics and surface modifications
American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) Science Article 3 abstract Cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) are migratory birds that breed in coloniesand frequently nest on highway structures. Protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of1918, swallows in their active nests cannot be harmed by nesting-control methods. Thiscauses problems and delays in maintenance of structures by divisions of […]
Cliff swallows and the power of behavioral ecology
American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) Science Article 5 abstract The study of adaptive behaviors lies at the very heart of behavioral ecology. Although there is certainly no lack of debate about what constitutes an adaptation (2), most researchers in the field probably would not quibble with the statement that adapted traits are those that are […]
ACORN WOODPECKER PREDATION ON CLIFF SWALLOW NESTS
American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) Science Article 2 abstract Unlike many other woodpeckers that feed on woodboringinsects and larvae, Acorn Woodpeckers (MeIanerpes formicivorus) feed primarily on acorns, insects caught by flycatching, and sap (Bent 1939, MacRoberts 1970, MacRoberts and MacRoberts 1976). They also supplement their diets with an occasional small lizard (Koenig, pers. comm.), fruit, […]
The life history and ecology of the cliff swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)
American Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) Science Article 4 abstract The life history of the Ciff swallow bug Oeciacus vicarius is closely associated with that of the cliff swallow Hirundo pyrrhonota during the bird’s three month breeding period in the Nearctic region. The bugs are long lived, feed rapidly and lay eggs in several clutches that […]
