Spatial heterogeneity in predator activity, nest survivorship,and nest-site selection in two forest thrushes
Veery (Catharus fuscescens) Science Article 6 abstract The ability of prey to find and use predator-free space has far-reaching consequences for their persistence and interactions with their predators. We tested whether nest survivorship of the ground-nesting veery (Catharus fuscescens) and shrub-nesting wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) was related to the local absence of a major nest […]
First photographic evidence of Veery (Catharus fuscescens) for Peru
Veery (Catharus fuscescens) Science Article 1 abstract The Veery (Catharus fuscescens) is little known in Peru. We present the first photographic evidence of Veery in Peru during October 2004. The date of our observation and of other sight-records suggests that Veery is a rare migrant in extreme eastern Peru. Michael J. Andersen et al, Boletin […]

JUVENILE AND ADULT SURVIVAL OF SWAINSON’S THRUSH (CATHARUS USTULATUS) IN COASTAL CALIFORNIA: ANNUAL ESTIMATES USING CAPTURE-RECAPTURE ANALYSES
Swainsons Thrush (Catharus ustulatus) Science Article 1 abstract We estimated annual rates of survival for juvenile and adult Swainson’s Thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) using capture-recapture analyses from 22 years of mist-netting data in coastal California (n = 2,651 individual captures). Our apparent survival estimate was 56% for adults and 25% for juveniles. We are the first […]
