This book was released on 1989 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted in western New York during the 1987 and 1988 waterfowl breeding seasons to identify locally nesting dabbling duck species, document key nesting habitats, and estimate nest success rates (NSR). Data were collected within a 7,963 ha area on the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and state- owned Oak Orchard and Tonawanda Wildlife Management Areas. Systematic nest searches were done in 4 grassland cover types: planted grassland, naturally seeded grassland, reverted cropland, and rights-of-way. The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)and blue-winged teal (A. discors) were the predominant nesting species, comprising 39% and 53% respectively of the 338 nests found in grasslands. The overall nest success rate for mallards was .09 and the NSR for blue-winged teal averaged .21. Mallard nesting attempts were most successful in planted grassland (NSR = .28) and naturally seeded grassland (.11) and least successful in rights-of-way (1%) and reverted cropland (3%). Planted grasslands.

Download or read book The North American Perching and Dabbling Ducks written by Paul Johnsgard and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the fourth in a series of books that collectively update and expand P.A. Johnsgard's 1975 The Waterfowl of North America, summarizes research findings on this economically and ecologically important group of waterfowl. The volume includes the mostly tropical perching duck tribe Cairinini, of which two species, the muscovy duck and the wood duck, are representatives. Both species are adapted for foraging on the water surface, mostly on plant materials, but typically perch in trees and nest in elevated tree cavities or other elevated recesses. This volume also includes the dabbling, or surface-feeding, duck tribe Anatini, a large assemblage of duck species that mainly forage on the water surface but nest on the ground, or only very rarely in elevated locations. Of this tribe, 12 species that regularly breed in North America are included, among them such familiar species as mallards, wigeons, pintails, and teal. Descriptive accounts of the distributions, populations, ecologies, social-sexual behaviors, and breeding biology of all these species are provided, together with distribution maps. Five additional Eurasian and West Indian species have been reported several times in North America; these have been included with more abbreviated accounts, but all 17 species are illustrated by drawings, photographs, or both. The text includes about 84,000 words and contains more than 1,000 references. There are also 12 distribution maps, 21 drawings, 28 photographic plates, and 58 anatomical or behavioral sketches.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of bottomland hardwoods by nesting mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)was studied in western New York on the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and the state-owned Tonawanda and Oak Orchard Wildlife Management Areas. Nest searches were conducted in 550.0 and 712.6 ha of approximately 832.6 ha of available bottomland hardwoods in 1989 and 1990,respectively. Mallards began nesting as early as the third week in March and ended the first week in June, with nesting peaks occurring in mid-April and mid-May. A total of 239 nests were located on tree crotches, hummocks, tree stumps, tree cavities, and 'other' sites. Nest site use compared to availability indicated a significant preference for three crotches and stumps in 1989 (P

Book excerpt: "Wildfowl and screamers belong to a highly diverse family of birds, confined to watery habitats. They are amongst the most attractive of birds and are very well-known to man, who has domesticated them, used their feathers for warm clothing and ornamentation, admired their flight, courtship and migration, caught them for food, maintained them in captivity for pleasure, and written about their doings in delightful children's stories, from Mother Goose to Jemima Puddleduck and Donald Duck. They occur throughout the world except Antarctica. Some are faithful to the same partner for life, others for only the few minutes of copulation. In some species, male and female make devoted parents, and yet there is one within the group whose female lays her eggs in the nests of others and never incubates. Diving as a method of obtaining food has evolved many times within the family. Most nest in the open but others in the tree-hole nests of woodpeckers and some in the ground burrows of rabbits or aardvarks. They may be highly social or solitary, defending a large territory." -- publisher website.
