Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of South Dakota Effort has been made in this bulletin to obtain as complete a list of South Dakota birds as possible. In all, 322 species and subspecies have been recorded. With few exceptions these are represented in the University Museum collections at Vermillion. There is perhaps no State in the Union where bird study is more perplexing than in South Dakota. From east to west the State embraces birds of woods, prairie and mountains. The range of many birds is constantly moving westward, and this causes variation in the migrating routes of many species. The Black Hills, lying only a little apart from the Rocky Mountains, are apt to be visited occasionally by western species. From south to north, likewise, both trees and latitude affect the bird problem. The Missouri River with its wooded banks and ravines, traversing the middle of the State, provides conditions which attract some species farther north than they would otherwise come. But for this fact we probably would not have the beautiful Western Blue Grosbeak within our borders. Birds from farther east and south also, such as Cardinals and Wood Thrushes, follow the growing trees into South Dakota. Many birds are found in the southern part of the State which are never seen in the northern part; and some birds which formerly nested in South Dakota no longer do so. So numerous, therefore, are the changes going on in bird life within the State that observations which were made a few years ago may not be accurate today and observations made today may not be accurate tomorrow.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Birds That Have Been Observed in the State of North Dakota The fauna of the different portions of the state varies so greatly-that a list which simply names the birds found within our borders would be very' unsatisfactory. For ex ample to say that the Whip-poor-will and the Magpie are found in the state is misleading because the former is prob ably not found west of the woods along the Red river, and the latter not east of the Missouri. To overcome this ditti culty with the greatest economy of space I have divided the state into three great sections and then specified in which of these each bird is found. This is done by the figures 1, 2 or 3 after the names. They indicate that. The bird is found in section 1, 2 or 3 as described below. If more than one of these figures occur they show that the bird has been reported from all the sections noted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evaluation of a Habitat Capability Model for Nongame Birds in the Black Hills, South Dakota Coefficients in the habcap model quantify rela tive (o to capability of each structural stage as habitat to sustain a prescribed population density for each species. The habcap model includes separate coefficients for feeding and cover. Although feeding and cover coefficients are the same for most species, we based our test of the model on cover coefficients because cover includes nest placement in breeding territories. Abundance of bird species at each site Was the sum of observations S50'm from the count point. We used bird count data from 1992 and 1993 to test hypotheses that the observed abundance in each structural stage was similar to predicted abundance by the habcap model using chi-square goodnessof-fit tests (freese Chi-square tests were made only for structural stages with coefficients >0. Since fewer counts were made in old-growth and dry meadows, predicted abundance in these structural stages was adjusted to represent the proportion of total count days. Predicted abundance of bird species (pnj) in each structural stage (ssi) was calculated as. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Extension, Vol. 2 of 6: Pass on the Torch, November, 1912, the Guide for North Dakota Bird Study Many state biological surveys have likewise added their quota to the accumulating data along similar lines of local study. The introduction of bird study in its varied phases into the public schools has been a most important means of reaching not only the rising generation of children but through them extending the message and spirit to the older generation. Many clubs and organizations not primarily devoted to bird study have also rendered valuable assistance in the pro gress of this movement through the presentation of special papers and lectures upon topics related to bird life and habits as numbers upon their regular programs.

This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora of the Black Hills of South Dakota The outcrop of the Cretaceous sandstone forms the foothills, and that of the Jura formation and the Red Beds makes the so-called Race Track, a more or less continuous valley between the foothills and the hills proper. The Race Track is much broader on the south side and forms the larger part of the Minnekahta Plains. On the east side the Carboniferous limestone belt forms a series of hills, and on the west side, where the strata are nearly horizontal, a broad plateau, the Lime stone District. As the slates and schist are comparatively soft, the center of the Black Hills is lower, except where the granite or igneous roeks come to the surface and form the highest peaks in the range.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of North Dakota Birds: Found in the Big Coulee, Turtle Mountains and Devils Lake Region, as Noted During the Years 1890 to 1896 and Verified in the Subsequent Years to Date The following list of North Dakota birds is the result of the observations of several seasons, from the spring of 1890 to 1895 inclusive. The list is a verbatim copy of one written in the winter of 1895-6 but has not been published until now for various good and sufficient reasons. The list has been supplemented and confirmed by the observations of the succeeding years. A list made from notes made the past few years would show a great difference in its comparative abundance or rarity of certain species, and no doubt such a list with notes will be gotten out by some one in the near future. In 1895, from the last of March until August 1, my own observations were supplemented and enlarged by reason of a party consisting of Dr. L.B. Bishop of New Haven, Conn, W.H. Hoyt and John Shaler of Stamford, Conn., N.L. Bigelow of Boston, Mass., and myself, being in the field every day collecting and noting the migratory and breeding species of this territory, and it is safe to say that very few, if any, passed through without some one of the party getting a note of them. Notes were also taken and freely given to me by Mr. E.S. Bryant who was collecting near Freshwater, Dry, and Devils Lakes during the same period, confirming our own observations and adding a few species, as credited to him in the list. Some 230 odd species were given in the first list, but very few of which I have not collected myself. Two of the sub-species were described as new by Dr. Bishop and have since been admitted as good by the A.0. U.committee on classification of species, namely: the Dakota Song Sparrow and Hoyt's Horned Lark. The list has since been enlarged by the addition of some 20 species and sub-species is will be noted in the list. In making up the list, I used the nomenclature and numbering as given in the 1895 edition of the American Ornithologists Unions Check list of North American Birds. The following description of the territory covered by this list was made in 1895-96. A description written now would not be recognized as covering the same country. Taking Cando, Towner County, as a center, a radius of 40 miles would circumscribe the territory covered by this list, and the greater portion of the species noted were taken within a radius of 20 miles. It is classed as rolling prairie with no running streams, except in early spring when the Mauvaise river or Big Coulee and its branches become quite a river while the snow is going off, but they soon run down and during the summer are but little more than a succession of water holes of varying size and depth. The prairies are dotted all over by shallow sloughs formed by the drainage. They usually evaporate by the end of May. They are the favorite feeding places of the Sandpipers and Ducks. In the southeastern part of the county are a succession of lakes of some size, known as Chain Lakes, the largest of which are Lakes Alice and Irwin. Lake Alice is fringed with a growth of trees and bushes on two sides, and is the only place in the county where any trees of size can be found. A few miles north of Cando is a series of alkali ponds. These are shallow and often dry up in summer time. While there is water in them they are favorite resting and feeding grounds for the Sandpiper and Duck. Twelve miles north is Snyder Lake, some four or five miles in length and a half mile in width at its widest part. The south end is quite deep. The water in this lake is very brackish although there is one quite large spring of good water near the north end. The northern part of the lake is shallow and filled with a growth of grasses and rushes common to this kind of a place. Ducks, Grebes and Coots nest in numbers here, as well as other water loving birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Birds of Town and Country: With 114 Illustrations in Color and 52 in Black and White Range: Breeds from eastern North Dakota, central Minnesota, northwestern Michigan, southern Oh tario and southern New Brunswick to central Texas, southern Louisiana, central Alabama and central Georgia; winters from southern Mexico to Panama. The indigo bird is the brightest colored sparrow that visits the north, but one can hardly believe that the sprightly dandy, clad in his rich blue suit, is the mate of the inconspicuous brown bird that seeks assiduously to conceal herself in the leafy cover, as though a bit ashamed of the contrast between her working suit and the holiday garb of her spouse. The indigo is a frequenter of sprout land, of brushy thickets and of Open woodland. And the male is fond of singing his cheerful lay from the topmost twig of a tall shrub or tree, as though challenging the world to produce his equal. For such a dainty bird, the nest is a singularly inartistic structure and very carelessly built. It is placed in the crotch of some low leafy bush and is not at all difficult to find.
