Grubb, Jr. Department of Zoology The Ohio State University Back Home Published by The Boxwood Press Used with Permission Preface Chapter One - Ornithology as a Science Chapter Two - Analytical Ornithology Chapter Seven - When Do Great Blue Herons Give Up? ... Appendix 2 - The Spearman Rank Correlation Test Preface One of the most influential field studies of birds ever performed was conducted just north of my university here in Columbus. While carrying on her duties as wife, mother and homemaker, Mrs. Margaret Morse Nice devoted many hours to studying the behavior and ecology of Song Sparrows . Mrs. Nice's account of her work is generally regarded as one of the finer examples of descriptive ornithology ever produced in North America by anyone, amateur or professional. At the time of Mrs. Nice's study, amateurs were routinely making important contributions to ornithology. General conclusions they reached from their field work were useful additions to the body of knowledge about birds, However, from the 1950s on, as the study of avian biology became more analytical and less descriptive, contributions by amateurs became less pivotal to the discipline. One of the functions of this book is to bring the techniques of analytical ornithology to the amateur student of birds. Descriptive ornithology, which Mrs. Nice accomplished so beautifully, requires careful observation and note-taking on the behavior of birds in their natural environment. The next step is to look for generalities, common attributes about the events seen. For example, after a number of years of watching the Song Sparrows she had color-banded, Mrs. Nice could generalize that in Columbus, Ohio, only males of the species stayed on the breeding ground all winter.
BTO - General Information On Ringing Ringing Info. general Information on Ringing. Why do we ring birds? British Trustfor ornithology (Registered Charity Number 216652). http://www.bto.org/ringing/ringinfo/
Extractions: General Information on Ringing Why do we ring birds? Much has been discovered about birds by watching and counting them, but such methods rarely allow birds to be identified as individuals. This is essential if we are to learn about how long they live and when and where they move, questions that are vital for bird conservation. Placing a lightweight, uniquely numbered, metal ring around a birds leg, provides a reliable and harmless method of identifying birds as individuals. Each ring also bears an address so that anyone finding a ringed bird can help by reporting its whereabouts and fate. Some ringing projects also use colour rings to allow individual birds to be identified in the field. After over ninety years of bird ringing in Britain and Ireland, we are continuing to discover new facts about migration routes and wintering areas. However, the main focus of the Ringing Scheme today is the monitoring of bird populations. Ringing allows us to study how many young birds leave the nest and survive to become adults as well as how many adults survive the stresses of breeding, migration and severe weather. Changes in survival rates and other aspects of birds biology help us to understand the causes of population declines. Such information is so important for conservation that the BTO runs two special projects to collect it:

Extractions: Ornithology The Department of Ornithology is the centre for Ornithological research in Kenya. The Departments activities fall into three main areas: curation, research and training. Curation. The Department takes care of the regional reference collection of study skins (and other specimens such as nests and eggs). Some of the 35,000 or so skins date from the last century but they are still in good condition! Looking after the skins and making sure that they are properly catalogued is a major task. The collection is used extensively by scientists interested in bird taxonomy and distribution, and also by artists and birdwatchers. Research. The Department focuses on research and monitoring related to bird conservation. The monitoring programme is an area where birders can become actively involved (see below). Our research focuses particularly on threatened species, the effects of habitat fragmentation and land-use changes (for example, in the Taita Hills forests and Kinangop Plateau grasslands), and sustainable use of birds (for instance, through gamebird shooting). The Departments varied monitoring work includes: The Nest Record Scheme of East Africa
