Download or read book With Wings Extended written by Greg Hoch and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, many people had given up on the wood duck, dooming it to extinction along with the passenger pigeon and Carolina parakeet. Today, it’s one of the most familiar and most harvested ducks in the eastern half of the country, and one of America’s great conservation success stories. In With Wings Extended, Minnesota conservationist Greg Hoch introduces readers to a duck they probably recognize but may not know well. This book shows how almost anyone can get involved in conservation and do something for wildlife beyond writing checks to conservation organizations. Hoch illustrates the complexities of wildlife and habitat management that landowners as well as state and federal wildlife agencies deal with on a daily basis, and takes readers through the life stages of what is largely considered the most beautiful duck in the world. In this fascinating and practical read, Hoch blends the historical literature about the species with modern science, and also shows how our views of conservation have changed over the last century.

Download or read book Nest Box Selection of Wood Ducks as Influenced by Color and Site Factors written by Thomas Earl Morse and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selection of colored nest boxes by wood ducks (Aix sponsa) was evaluated during the breeding seasons of 1967-68 in Benton County, Oregon. No color or site factor influence was observed in 1967 when nest boxes were erected in sets of eight boxes served in 1967 when nest boxes were erected in sets of eight boxes adjacent to water. Color and site factor influence was observed in 1968 when the nest boxes of a set were erected on a diagonal plane extending from water's edge into the woods. Nest box selection by adult hens in 1968 was influenced by a strong fidelity to color of the box in which they had successfully nested in 1967. Nest box selection by yearling hens in 1968 was not influenced by color of the box in which it hatched but was related to an interaction of color and vegetational obstruction in the foreground of the box. Bright colors (white, yellow, orange and red) appeared to offset the adverse effects of vegetational obstruction on nest box selection. Nest box selection and inspection was found to be influenced by visibility of the entrance hole. No relationship was determined between the location of the first nest selected within a set and selection of subsequent nest boxes within the same set. It appears that erecting boxes painted conspicuous colors will enhance utilization of boxes in woody areas and will increase the available nesting habitat away from the margins of a pond or a stream.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood duck (Aix sponsa) nesting behavior, nest box production and utilization was studied from 1972 to 1974 on three areas in Madison County, Kentucky. Spring arrival of wood ducks occurred in late February and early March. Nest searching began the second week of March. The dates of first laying varied from March 21 to March 23. Egg laying reached a peak in late March. Eggs were deposited at the rate of one egg per day. Average clutch size of all wood duck nests was 12.2 eggs. Average clutch size of normal nests was 11.5 eggs. Clutch size varied from 9 to 20 eggs. One dump nest was discovered. The mean incubation period was 30.3 days. The positions of wood duck eggs changed daily during incubation. A total of 117 wood duck eggs were laid in nest boxes and 77 ducklings left the boxes. Hatching success was 65.8 percent. Three natural cavities containing wood duck nests were located. Mean clutch size for nests in natural cavities was 13.7 eggs. Hatching success was 92.7 percent. The peak hatching period occurred during the third and fourth weeks of May. Brood size decreased from 9.6 ducklings at hatching to 4.3 ducklings at flight stage. No predation of nesting wood ducks or eggs was noted. Competition for nest boxes was severe. Wildlife species occupied 91.4 percent of available nest boxes in 1972 and 73.6 percent in 1973. The starling (Sturnus vulgaris) was the most serious nest competitor. Wood duck usage of nest boxes was low but increased from two nests (7.2 percent) in 1972 to eight nests (20.5 percent) in 1973. This increase was due to improved maintenance and relocation of nest boxes.

With some basic carpentry skills you can build a nest box, and be rewarded by the pleasure of watching the activities of the wildlife that take up residence. Nest boxes are a great idea since they: attract wildlife back into gardens thereby introducing breeding and other enriching activities into our daily lives; may assist populations of endangered species; make an unusual gift for a nature loving friend; provide pleasure for nursing home residents; provide excellent school projects -- especially for woodwork classes. Stacey and Alan Franks have spent years researching the needs and habits of hollow-dependent fauna. The practical advice they give is based on personal observation and experience, as well as information they have gathered from other wildlife experts.
