This is Canada, so it goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway), that common names are given in English and French. A two-page spread is devoted to the Gyrfalcon, which Earley proudly tells us is “one of the most sought-after birds in Ontario, if not all of Canada” (p. Bohemian Waxwing, p. 206, photo by Brian E.

A breeding bird atlas is a special kind of book. For the nature lovers and birders who participate in breeding bird surveys, the atlas represents hours, often hundreds of hours, of volunteer time spent within a community of citizen scientists doing what they love, observing birds. So, what exactly does a breeding bird atlas contain?

One year he was very excited when his female Hawaiian Goose hatched four healthy goslings, the first time he had managed to breed this species. Both geese are quite closely related as they are members of the genus Branta , which also includes the Redbreasted Goose, Brent Goose, Cackling Goose and Canada Goose.

I assumed it to be some kind of domestic breed or an escapee and didn’t pay it much attention. It returned last year with a small flock of Canada Geese and then again this year with a much bigger flock, nearing 150, that contained more oddities. But then compare the size of it against the Canada Geese. We love sharing!

The annual parade of birds is happening and the feathered participants are dressed in their best breeding suits. Now is when we can venture into the closest park and see birds of the deep woods, species that breed far from town. Now is the special time that birders look forward to all year long. Summer Tanagers also migrate.

But it was the Long-billed Dowitchers who were really rocking their breeding plumage. How on earth do they breed so quickly up north?) The slightly more numerous Snowy Plovers , however, will stay right here; Lago de Cuitzeo is one of the few places where this species breeds in central Mexico. And there were lots of them!

They are a non-migratory species found in western coniferous and mixed-coniferous forests, breeding from Alaska, western Canada, and the United States south through western Mexico to Nicaragua. Although they are normally non-migratory, populations that breed at high elevations typically move to lower elevations during the winter.

The Willow Ptarmigan, which is the most numerous, can also be found in Russia, Finland, Scandinavia, and Canada. Unlike other grouse species, the male Willow Ptarmigan remains with the female throughout the breeding season to help raise the chicks. The Willow Ptarmigan was officially designated in 1960, when Alaska entered the union.

Each autumn, nearly the entire breeding population of the Swainson’s Hawk migrates from the temperate zone of North America to wintering areas in South America. From Canada, this migration is more than 10,000 km each way, a distance second among raptors only to that of the Arctic Peregrine Falcon 1.

Beware breeding and nesting swans! Also of interest is how Mute Swans are employed to deter Canada Geese.

Since then their range has spread across the United States and southern Canada, and they remain a sought-after game species. Partners in Flight estimates that the global breeding population is around 50 million; 30% of which can be found in North America and Canada. During some seasons, millions of male pheasants are killed.

Blue-winged Teal breed over a large portion of North America but occur irregularly or at low densities in many portions of their range. The highest breeding densities occur in mixed-grass prairie and parklands of north-central U.S. and the prairie provinces of Canada, where the species is often the most abundant breeding duck 1.

For example, Bluebird ID in the United States and Canada is a simple proposition: if you are in the West, they are Western, while in the East, they are Eastern. Up north, Black-chinned and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are model citizens; their almost-identical females do their civic duty by breeding on different sides of North America.
