The section "Southeast Michigan (not Washtenaw County)" here is the portion of lower Michigan that is within 50-60 miles (80-100 km) of Detroit. This region is bounded on the east by Lake Erie, the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, and the St. Clair River, on the north by a line from Port Huron to Flint, on the west by a diagonal line from Flint to Jackson and a line from Jackson to the Ohio border, and on the south by the Ohio border eastward to Lake Erie just north of Toledo. This region includes the following counties : Monroe, Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, Livingston, Washtenaw, Jackson, and Lenawee. Washtenaw County is approximately in the center of the region.

83. Nest Locations Of Birds birds nest in places ranging from treetops to holes in the ground. some songbirds and birds of prey nest on cliffs, another location that will be safe http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Birds/nest-location.html

Nest Locations of Birds If asked to picture a typical bird nest, most people think of a bowl-shaped nest woven of twigs and grasses and situated in a tree, a shrub, or in dense grass. Most common songbirds of our forests, fields, and gardens use this type of nest. Birds nest in places ranging from treetops to holes in the ground. Nesting in dense cover, especially off the ground, provides safety from predators. For the same reason, many species nest in cavities in trees or in birdhouses. Woodpeckers excavate their own holes in trees; Bluebirds, House Wrens, starlings, Tree Swallows, and screech-owls use abandoned woodpecker holes or existing tree cavities. The hornbill of Africa takes the protection aspect a step further: The male seals the cavity opening with mud after the female sits on the nest. The male passes food to its mate, and later to the chicks, through a small opening in the wall. Birds make a wide variety of nests in holes in the ground. The Belted Kingfisher excavates a tunnel and nest chamber in the face of a bank, usually near a stream. Burrowing Owls often nest in dens abandoned by prairie dogs of other mammals. Many seabirds such as puffins, auklets, and storm-petrels escape dangers of predatory gulls, which nest on the same islands, by laying and incubating their eggs in dirt burrows or crevices in pile of rocks. For these species the choice of an island colony nest site provides them with protection from mammalian predators.

Derrickson,* and Zdenek Hubálek† *Conservation and Research Center, National Zoological Park, Smithsonian Institution, Front Royal, Virginia, USA; and †Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences, Valtice, Czech Republic The first known human case of West Nile virus infection recorded in the Western Hemisphere was reported in August 1999 ( ). Eventually, 62 cases of the disease were confirmed; no new cases have been reported since October 16, 1999 ( ). Of the human cases laboratory-confirmed as of October 8, 1999, 70% occurred within a circle 10 km in radius centered in the northern end of the New York City borough of Queens ( ). Coincident in both space and time with the human outbreak was a substantial die-off of birds, particularly American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) ). Unusual bird deaths were noted around the Bronx Zoo in mid-August ( ), approximately 8 km north of the epicenter of the human epidemic. Several thousand crows and other avian species are presumed to have died of the virus, mostly in and around the New York City area (

Washington Breeding Bird Atlas: Methods Here are our acknowledgements. Overview : Models were developed by using known locations to delineate range limits, and using known locations, literature review, and expert consultation to develop habitat associations. Predicted distributions were created by selecting appropriate habitats in the land cover map within each species' range limits. NOTE that the locations on the map are not points, they represent the centroid of the 3 mile x 3 mile Breeding Bird Atlas block. Record Collection : We assembled a database of over 117,000 records of breeding birds in Washington. All records were collected after 1986. Three major databases contributed: the Washington Breeding Bird Atlas project (95,417), Fred Dobler's shrub-steppe bird records (15,817), and the WDFW Natural Heritage Database (6,193). The mapped distributions of the points from the first two were scrutinized and error-checked by the first and second authors. Data points from the Natural Heritage Database were checked by the senior author, and generalized from point locations up to the BBA 3mi x 3mi block. Collection of data varied for each database; methods are summarized below. The Breeding Bird Atlas data were collected by volunteers within quarter-township (9 sq. miles) 'blocks' throughout the state. Data were supplied from 2,312 of the 7,912 available blocks. The project was started in 1987 and data were collected through 1995. Birds encountered by volunteers within the blocks were recorded and assigned to one of four evidence categories, with evidence noted on the card as follows:

Requirements of different island nesting birds http://www.rspb.org.uk/countryside/managingreserves/habitats/nesting_islands/isl

Home Countryside Managing nature reserves For habitats ... Wet grassland Island location and design When designing the water body, locate islands where wave action will be minimised, otherwise islands could be eroded. Wave energy is greater where wind can reach over longer stretches of open water, so locating at the up-wind end will minimise impact. Islands with a low-profile, and a shallow gradient into the water are favoured for nesting by waders and waterfowl. Ideally they should be situated in extensive shallows and incorporate small, shallow open water bodies within them . Longer water edge improves feeding opportunities for waders and waterfowl and their chicks, provision of bays on the leeward side of the island will provided sheltered feeding. Beaches designed with as low slope as possible (ie as close to horizontal), ensure extensive feeding areas, though the gradient will be influenced by anticipated seasonal fluctuations in water levels, as a shallow margin should remain even at the lowest mid summer water level, to enable water fowl access to the island and to provide feeding areas. The type of vegetation on an island will depend on the species it is intended to attract. Table 1 summarises which species are attracted to which type of island habitat.

This is on the south side of http://www.naturalhistory.bc.ca/VNHS/Birding/BirdingRareBirdLocations.htm

Vancouver Natural History Society Locations to Check for Rarer Birds Crested Myna Crested Myna For anyone contemplating a trip to Vancouver for Crested Myna sightings, there is one well-known location at which breeding took place in 1998 through to 2001. In January of 2003 there were known to be two birds remaining but reports of the demise of both came during February of that year. The location is along Wylie just south of its junction with 2nd Avenue. This is on the south side of False Creek, Wylie is one block east of Cambie. Coming from the south, get onto Cambie, head north and take the slip road down to 2nd Avenue which is just before the bridge that crosses False Creek. At 2nd Avenue turn right and then make a left of off 2nd. The landmark is the Maynards auction house on the north west corner of Wylie and 2nd Avenue. The birds could often be seen on the roof of this building and also perched on lights in the wall of the brick building to the north-east, and across Wylie, from the Maynards building. They could also be found on the ground in front of the car workshop on the north east corner of Wylie and 2nd Avenue. Brambling A male Brambling was present at Blackie Spit from early December, 1998, through to mid-January of the following year.
