Extractions: Nature Photography All the photographs on this website were taken with the wildlife in its natural habitat. The photos were taken either in gardens or on public paths/right of way in West Yorkshire. Birds are the only creature to have feathers called plumage, they are warm blooded and lay eggs. A birds bones are light with a honeycombed structure for strength. They have good eyesight and hearing but sense of smell is poor. In Britain some of the birds we consider common such as the sparrow are in decline, reasons why are not fully understood. You can help by putting food and water out for birds - in winter it is recommended putting out high energy food such as fat, birdcake seed and nuts. Try to avoid nylon mesh bags as they can trap birds feet. Spring and Summer feeding is not advisable unless you know what you are doing, at this time birds require high protein foods such as mealworms sunflower seeds and currants. Peanuts and bread are not recommended as they can be harmful if brought to nestlings.

ECOLOGY: MIGRATORY BIRDS AND MOLTING LOCATION ECOLOGY MIGRATORY birds AND MOLTING location The following points are made by Geoffrey E. Hill (Science 2004 3062201) 1) For the past 50 years, http://scienceweek.com/2005/sb050211-2.htm
Extractions: 1) For the past 50 years, most field ornithologists studying migratory birds that breed in North America and Europe have concentrated on analyzing their breeding ecology. Molt and migration have received scant attention, as has the time these migratory birds spend at their wintering grounds, even though this period may occupy 8 months of a bird's annual cycle [1]. It is easy to understand why ornithologists, most of whom live in the US, Canada, and Europe, have concentrated on the breeding biology of migratory birds. Not only are there many interesting questions that can be addressed through breeding studies, but also migratory birds are accessible in the spring and summer, are predictable in their movements, and conspicuous in song. After breeding, territories are abandoned, home ranges expand greatly, and birds begin their nocturnal southward movement, making it impossible to track individuals of most species. 2) However, new technologies are helping ornithologists to overcome these obstacles, bringing studies of molt and migration to the fore. Norris et al[2] analyzed the ratio of stable-hydrogen isotopes in the feathers [3] of individual American redstarts (Setophaga ruticilla) of known reproductive history to determine when and where molting takes place.

Guidelines To The Use Of Wild Birds In Research - Marking A method for colormarking incubating birds by applying dye to their eggs (Paton and Pank to monitor the location and movements of tagged individuals. http://www.nmnh.si.edu/BIRDNET/GuideToUse/MARKING.HTM
Extractions: Return to Table of Contents A. Overview All laboratory and much field research involving wild birds requires that individuals be marked in some way for future identification. It is essential not only to the welfare of the birds but also to the integrity of the research results that the marking procedure not adversely affect the behavior, physiology, or survival of individuals. Because of the difficulty in providing appropriate controls for the marking method, systematic studies of possible For a marking procedure to be effective, it should meet as many of the following criteria as possible (Marion and Shamis 1977). a . The bird should experience no immediate or long-term hindrance or irritation. b . The marking should be quick and easy to apply. c . The marking code (digits or colors) should be readily visible and distinguishable. d . The markings should persist on the bird until research objectives have been fulfilled. e . The bird should suffer no adverse effects on its behavior, longevity, or social life. f . Careful records should be made of all aspects of the marking procedure. These should be maintained in an accessible and safe place. In special cases it may be possible to identify individuals on the basis of unique markings or vocalizations (see Pennycuick, 1978; Gilbert, et al. 1994) without the necessity of handling or attaching markers to them.

All About Birds Where to Put Your Bird Feeder. location, location, location Set up your feeder in a quiet place where it is easy to see and convenient to refill. http://birds.cornell.edu/programs/AllAboutBirds/AttractingBirds/FeedingBirds/Fee
Extractions: Feeding Wild Birds Feeder Types Choosing Bird Food Feeder Location ... Nuisance Birds Location, location, location... Be careful not to locate your feeder too close to cover, though. Nearby branches can provide good jumping-off points for seed-hungry squirrels and bird-hungry cats. A distance of about 10 feet seems to be a good compromise, but try experimenting. You can provide resting and escape cover for ground-dwelling birds such as Song Sparrows, by placing loosely-stacked brush piles near your feeders. Beware of placing your feeder near windows; birds may collide with them. Ornithologists estimate that window strikes kill millions of birds each year. Go to our Attracting Birds: Challenges page to find out how to prevent window strikes. Hummingbird feeders: If you're putting out a hummingbird feeder, make sure it's protected from the wind; a swaying feeder may spill sugar solution. Also, try putting the feeder in the shade because sugar solution spoils quickly in the sun. To attract hummingbirds, tie red ribbons around the feeder so they flutter in the breeze.
