This book focuses on the 203 species that breed in the statefrom the Green-winged Teal to the Great-tailed Grackleto create an accurate and timely reference based on standardized methods of data collection. The Kansas Breeding Bird Atlas represents the efforts of 180 volunteers who diligently sought out birds over six years, observing their behavior and searching for active nests and fledged young throughout the state, whether in tallgrass prairies, riparian forests, or wetlands. In addition to these volunteers' efforts, Busby and Zimmerman gathered a wealth of information relating the observations to ecological factors affecting the birds' habitat selection. In the book, each species is conveniently presented in a two-page spread containing a line drawing, descriptive account, data summary table, distribution map, and, in most instances, a table of breeding status by physiographic region and BBS (Breeding Bird Survey) map.

In cooperation with the University of Oklahoma's Biological Survey , the Sutton Avian Research Center conducted a Breeding Bird Atlas Project in Oklahoma. The field work for the Oklahoma Breeding Bird Atlas began in Spring of 1997, and was completed in 2001. The Atlas utilized volunteers who surveyed approximately 600 randomly determined "blocks", attempting to identify all the species potentially breeding in those blocks. Since the field work was completed, maps showing the breeding distribution for each species throughout the state have been produced, and coupled with text and a color photo for each species. The resulting book is currently available at the University of Oklahoma Press. One long-term benefit of an atlas project is that it can be repeated in 20-25 years, and changes in the distributions of breeding birds may indicate the well being of those species in the state. The atlas project was featured on

Around 70 species of bird breed in Iceland, but as many as 300 have been recorded as seen in total. Some birds overwinter in Iceland returning to the Arctic to breed, some are on passage, and some occur as vagrants blown off course. The nature of the country is more suitable for breeding seabirds than passerines (perching birds). Most of Iceland's birds breed also in Northern Europe apart from 3 species where Iceland is the only place these species normally breed in Europe. These are Great Northern Diver (Common Loon), and two ducks- Barrow's Goldeneye and Harlequin. Below are some details of some of Iceland's birds with their English, Scientific and Icelandic names. Great Northern Diver Gavia immer Himbrimi Great Northern Divers (or Common Loons in USA) breed in Canada spreading east to Iceland. They winter in the coastal waters of Western Europe from Norway to Spain. in winter they lose their black and white plumage to a brownish mottled plumage. They breed on deep lakes with either running or still water in tundra or conifer forests. They have an eerie wailing cry which epitomises the environment in which they live. They are quite large birds some 30 inch(75cm) in size. Harlequin Duck Histrionicus histrionicus Harlequin Ducks breed in Iceland, North America and along the North Pacific Coasts. They are very rarely seen elsewhere in Europe. They breed on islands in turbulent fast flowing rivers and winters on the rocky coasts. it is about 16 inch(40cm) long with a wingspan of 24 inch (60 cm).

[Text Version] Michigan Breeding Bird Atlas II In the 1980s, volunteers surveyed the entire state in a massive effort to record and map in an atlas the birds which breed in Michigan. This information has proved invaluable to scientists and natural resource managers, but there are indications that bird distribution and abundance has changed since this atlas was created. Starting in 2002, the Kalamazoo Nature Center was contracted to coordinate the creation of a second Michigan Breeding Bird Atlas. The data collection portion of this process is scheduled to be completed in 2008, and its success depends again on the dedication of a corps of volunteers: backyard birdfeeders, hunters, amateur birdwatchers, and professionals.

[Text Version] Breeding Bird Atlas II Will Document Changes in Michigan's Bird Populations July 21, 2005 As director of avian research at the Kalamazoo Nature Center for 35 years, Ray Adams, Jr., is one of the leading experts in the country when it comes to understanding the relative health and abundance of birds of the eastern United States. "In the early '70s many species were increasing, but during the 1980s, we began to see a lot of negative changes," Adams said. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources first identified the need for a breeding bird atlas in 1981, but it wasn’t until the inception of the state income tax checkoff for nongame wildlife that money was available to fund the project. Adams and the Kalamazoo Nature Center were recruited to coordinate the effort with the Detroit and Michigan Audubon societies providing additional support. From 1983 through 1988, more than 2,000 volunteers collected over 500,000 field records of nesting birds. The effort was the most complete and authoritative accounting of the state’s breeding bird populations ever compiled. At least 215 birds were confirmed to nest in the state, with another 18 species identified as possible or probable Michigan breeding species.

Opposite each species map is a summary account giving historical perspective, relative abundance, habitat, seasonal schedule, nest, egg, and song descriptions, clutch size, egg dates, number of broods, and other pertinent details. Each species account is illustrated with a scrupulously accurate, watercolor portrait by award-winning nature artists John Sill and Barry Van Dusen. The book also includes a set of eight transparent overlay maps in an attached pocket that allow the reader to correlate key environmental factors with the distribution of nesting species. Introductory sections describe the atlas survey methodology, and two appendixes document bird species known to breed in Massachusetts before and after, but not during, the survey period, and list scientific names of plants and animals (other than birds) noted in the text. This is a book that will appeal not just to ornithologists, but to anyone who appreciates the remarkable diversity of bird life in Massachusetts.

Namely, I examined how heterospecific attraction affects habitat selection in migrant birds and the potential role of predation risk in enhancing heterospecific attraction during breeding with particular emphasis regarding the interaction between resident and migrant birds. Geographically, low densities and low relative proportions of resident titmice (Parus and Aegithalos spp.) were associated with harsh winter conditions. The densities of northern European titmice populations are suggested to be lower than expected on the basis of summer productivity potentially causing geographical variation with respect to the interactions between resident and migrant birds. As expected, the associations between titmice and migrants appear stronger and more positive in northern Europe than elsewhere.

The Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a roadside route survey of avifauna designed to monitor abundance and distribution of birds in the United States and southern Canada. Data from these censuses are one of the main sources of information on avian population trends across the continent. These surveys are conducted in June every year. BBS surveys on the INL have yielded useful information about population dynamics of native birds, effects of weather and fire on avian abundance, and the breeding status of a number of bird species of concern, including sagebrush obligate species and other species exhibiting declines through their range. 113 bird species have been identified on the INL during the 1985 - 2002 Breeding Bird Surveys.

Select Land Management Link Idaho NERP Vegetation Surveys Flora of the INL Wildfire on the INL Wildlife Surveys Species Lists Breeding Bird Surveys Raptor Counts Threatened Species Breeding Bird Survey Results 2003 Abundance The 2003 Breeding Bird survey took place June 1 - June 25. A total of 5,844 individual birds were recorded along the 13 survey routes. This is above the 1985-2002 average of 4,375 birds/year (no surveys were conducted in 1992 or 1993). Although bird numbers remained relatively unchanged from the 2002 survey, drought conditions continued during 2003 with higher than normal rainfall occurring in April and lower than normal in May and June. Horned Larks and Meadow Larks comprised more than 50% of all birds counted on the 2003 survey. Horned Larks are a dominant component of grassland communities on the INL. The conversion from sagebrush to grassland, due to large fires, has allowed this species to increase in abundance. At the same time sagebrush obligate species (e.g. Brewer’s Sparrow, Sage Sparrow, and Sage Thrasher) have remained relatively stable but slightly decreased The high numbers of birds counted in 2003, however, does not necessarily reflect large numbers of birds counted among all taxa. Several species were at or below long-term averages and a few species observed in six or more previous years were absent in 2003, including Burrowing Owl, Bank Swallow, and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Waterfowl counts at the INL were also low due to the lack of water in the Big Lost River over the past 4 years. The Big Lost River, Sinks and Spreading Areas have not held water since summer of 1999, thus reducing the number of birds that would normally use these areas. The only waterfowl observed in 2003 were at the facility wastewater treatment ponds.

Refuge Information Wildlife Habitat People ... Search [This information was originally produced by Beverly Skinner, wildlife biologist at Innoko National Wildlife Refuge (in west central Alaska), for radio broadcast on Public Radio stations throughout Alaska.] Breeding Bird Surveys and Partners in Flight This month, all across Alaska, neo-tropical breeding birds are being identified and counted by biologists and volunteers along established bird routes. The Innoko Refuge staff now has seven separate routes to complete during the prime breeding and singing period of June 10 through the 30th. The refuge is currently involved with both the national breeding bird survey program as well as the newer Alaska Partners in Flight off road breeding bird point count survey program. Although the two programs have slightly different methods of counting birds, the end result is the same - a yearly tally of all birds seen or heard along a permanent route which allows for a comparison over time of the numbers of each bird species. This is know as trend data. Neo-tropical birds return to Alaska to nest each summer in the brightest plumage and full of song. Their brightly colored feathers and singing allow the male birds to non-violently compete against other male birds for a territory. In mid through late June, by moving through an area constantly singing, the males are able to stake out a territory for themselves and their mate which will provide the needed space and food to raise a nest full of young. It is during this time of constant singing that bird survey routes are conducted. Routes are started at dawn, which for interior Alaska is 3:33 am, and continue throughout the peak singing time each day.
