Become a better birder with brief portraits of 200 top North American birds. This friendly, relatable book is a celebration of the art, science, and delights of bird-watching. How to Know the Birds introduces a new, holistic approach to bird-watching, by noting how behaviors, settings, and seasonal cycles connect with shape, song, color, gender, age distinctions, and other features traditionally used to identify species. With short essays on 200 observable species, expert author Ted Floyd guides us through a year of becoming a better birder, each species representing another useful lesson: from explaining scientific nomenclature to noting how plumage changes with age, from chronicling migration patterns to noting hatchling habits. Dozens of endearing pencil sketches accompany Floyd's charming prose, making this book a unique blend of narrative and field guide. A pleasure for birders of all ages, this witty book promises solid lessons for the beginner and smiles of recognition for the seasoned nature lover.

The songs of the Bewick's Wren are discrete units of one to three seconds duration with intersong intervals several times the length of the song. Individual song repertoires at the William Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon, range from 13 to 20 song types, and a given song type is repeated many times before another song type is introduced. The entire song repertoire is often sung before any song type bouts are repeated. Attempts to stimulate and to reduce attendant habituation may have been a selective force in the evolution of large song repertoires. Juveniles gain independence from their parents at approximately 35 days of age. Birds disperse as far as 3.2 km, and males may establish permanent territories and begin developmental subsong by 60 days of age. Sensitivity for song learning is probably maximal between 30 and 60 days. Some song variations which are developed by young males appear to be retained from exposure to songs prior to establishing a territory, but most song variations retained in the repertoire are those which match the songs of neighboring territorial males. Thus, neighboring males have very similar song type repertoires. Juveniles may disperse across minor habitat barriers which prevent frequent contact of territorial males on opposite sides, and song learning across such barriers is therefore hindered. The spread of new song variations formed through imperfect copying of a model song, or perhaps through improvisation or "drift", may be restricted by such minor barriers, and local dialects in relatively isolated habitat patches may thus be formed. Because the sensitive period for song learning in the Bewick's Wren occurs after dispersal from the home territory, dialect boundaries do not reflect population boundaries as is hypothesized for some species. The song repertoire size of individuals at the Finley refuge is dependent upon the date of hatching; birds hatched early in the breeding season are exposed to and learn more songs or song elements than birds hatched later in the breeding season. If juvenile males assess habitat quality when searching for a territory, repertoire size in the first breeding season may be positively correlated with habitat quality, and females could possible recognize this correlation. Differences in 14 measured song parameters at nine geographical locations in Oregon, California, Arizona, and Colorado reveal marked geographical differences. The frequency range of song sphrases was correlated with latitude and presumed species richness, and the frequency range of song phrases for the depauperate fauna of Santa Cruz Island, California, was similar to the frequency range of wrens at more northern latitudes, suggesting the possibility that species-rich communities may demand more stereotyped and less variable songs for species recognition. No such patterns were evident in the other 13 measured song parameters.

Hunting The Wren written by Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence and has been published by Univ. of Tennessee Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1997 with Nature categories.
A unique interdisciplinary study, this book examines the British and European tradition of the wren hunt, in which a bird ordinarily revered and protected for most of the year was killed around the time of the annual solstice. In focusing on this ancient ritual, Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence draws on her training in cultural anthropology and biology to cast a fresh light on the complexities of human-animal relationships.Following an introductory chapter on animal symbolism, Lawrence proceeds in subsequent chapters to describe the wren both as a biological entity and as the subject of numerous tales and legends, to delineate the details of the wren hunt ceremony and the various meanings ascribed to it, and, finally, to relate the ceremony to important contemporary issues in human-animal interactions and current attitudes toward the living environment. Whereas most other studies tend to concentrate solely on human perceptions of animals and fail to include the animal's role in the relationship, Lawrence's approach shows how the participation of both animal and human determines the symbolic status of the animal -- which in turn influences the treatment of that animal within a particular society.At a time when human destructiveness toward nature has reached tragic proportions, Lawrence contends, it is critical that we understand the processes by which certain cultural beliefs, in combination with observations about the natural history of a particular animal, result in emotional and mental responses that may ultimately determine the fate of that species. The author argues persuasively that the wren hunt -- with its ancient roots, associated beliefs, and complex meanings in thepreindustrialized world -- still has much to teach us.

Published in 1972, The Song of the Wren contains some light entertainments in the style of the Uncle Silas tales, alongside some more serious stories concerning thwarted love, love triangles, and, in two of the cases, the violence that comes out of psyches twisted by love. 'The Song of the Wren' features the intriguing Miss Shuttleworth as she spars with a young sociologist conducting a survey on various issues, leaving him dumfounded by her apparently mad behaviour and no more appreciative of nature than when he started. She appears again in 'Oh! Sweeter Than the Berry' where she proves herself more than a match for a visiting minister. Convincing him to try one homemade potion after another, she engages the tipsy Reverend in a theological debate until, stunned, he wobbles away and falls to his knees to pray for her. Taking a darker, more abstract turn 'The Man Who Loved Squirrels' is a tale of a woodsman who works alone and lives with his mother, finding company only in the forest's squirrels. A chance meeting with a traveling London woman disrupts his life and ends in tragedy. 'The Tiger Moth' depicts an affair between an airman and a schoolteacher, whose husband is missing in action. The tale hearkens back to Bates's war-time Flying Officer X stories in style, flight accounts, and pilot jargon. The bonus story 'Music for Christmas', first published in 1951, is a comic portrayal of provincial rivalries, involving a musical snob with London tastes, a north Midlands woman favouring local talent, and, relaying gossip and innuendo between the two, a grocery deliveryman.

As the earth's landscape becomes increasingly urbanized, local wildlife must adapt to urban conditions or migrate to areas that are more rural. Urban wildlife face challenges such as direct loss of habitat, competition with non-native species, disturbance due to anthropogenic noise, and micro-climatic changes. Factors such as temperature, relative humidity, and noise affect the acoustical environment and may affect the ability of many animals, including birds, to communicate. Understanding how urbanization affects birds' singing behavior is critical because singing often plays a vital role in attracting mates and defending territories. In addition, as global climate change occurs it will become increasingly important to understand the influence of abiotic factors such as temperature on the singing behavior of birds. Developing a deeper understanding of how these abiotic factors affect singing and other associated behaviors may help guide future conservation actions. Carolina Wrens are often used to study the role of singing in defending territories. They are also a common subject for ranging studies. However, surprisingly little research has been conducted on the factors influencing Carolina Wren song activity over the course of the day. No studies have compared the singing activity of Carolina Wrens in urban and rural environments. The purpose of this study was to compare the singing activity of Carolina Wrens in urban and rural areas. Specifically, this study looked for patterns in the timing of songs throughout the day and examined the effects of season, temperature, and anthropogenic noise on singing activity in urban and rural settings ... I conducted Chi-square analyses to compare seasonal or site-based observed frequencies of singing activity to the corresponding expected frequencies. In May, Carolina Wrens at the urban site sang more than their rural counterparts. Daily activity patterns were visually analyzed using the average number of songs detected for each hour's sampling period. No Carolina Wrens were heard singing the hour before sunrise or the hour after sunset. In May, the dawn chorus lasted nearly twice as long as in July. Zero-inflated Poisson regressions were used to determine the correlations between Carolina Wren singing activity and temperature or anthropogenic noise. Carolina Wren singing activity has significant correlations wit both variables.
