Great Blue Herons Breeding in the Maritime Provinces by Allan D. Smith,Canadian Wildlife Service. Atlantic Region Pdf

The status of Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias) breeding in the Maritime Provinces was studied as part of the National Heron Census (NHC) in 1979-82, when regional reports were published for all other parts of the species' Canadian range. That information from the Maritimes, with many other data from earlier and later periods, is summarized herein, including many details that were not presented in the Maritimes breeding bird atlas (Erskine 1992). These herons breed (or bred) in at least 34 of 36 counties in the region, and data now available confirm the preliminary estimate. Breeding numbers may have increased up to 1980, but probably were stable since then. Poorly standardized assessment of productivity produced a range of estimates of which the upper limit was somewhat lower than found by two intensive regional studies in the 1970s.

The Patient Predator by Robert William Butler,Canadian Wildlife Service Pdf

This report describes a six-year study of the great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on British Columbia's Pacific coast. The study period included five breeding seasons and four winters. The researchers studied a colony of 85-100 pairs on Sidney Island and visited about 40 other colonies around the Strait of Georgia over 1986-91. This report presents the results of the study, with information on the heron's diet, food availability, foraging behavior, use of habitats by age-classes and sex-classes, seasonal shifts in habitat use, spacing of breeding colonies in relation to predators and foraging habitats, effects of nest site selection and time of breeding on breeding success, and local survival of age-classes.

The Great Blue Heron by Robert William Butler Pdf

With its striking plumage, the great blue heron is one of the most widely recognized wading birds in North America. Riding on kelp beds in the Queen Charlotte Islands, wading in coastal streams along the mainland, poised motionless at the water's edge on a misty morning, or nesting in the limbs of old-growth forests, this stately bird is a familiar sight on the coast of British Columbia. The largest colonies are on the Fraser River delta, an area of great ecological significance to the north Pacific. Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding many aspects of the species' breeding biology and courtship behaviour, the foraging and population ecology of this bird remains something of an enigma. In his beautifully illustrated book, Robert Butler follows the great blue heron through a year on the coast of British Columbia. He draws on more than a decade of work to throw light on the adaptability of this magnificent bird to a temperate climate, its diet and breeding habits, habitat use, and conservation. Although the great blue heron has become a symbol of wetland conservation, in recent years it has had to face new challenges as a consequence of rapid urbanization of its environment. In The Great Blue Heron the author also describes the B.C. coast and shares a vision for the conservation of the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River delta.

Birds of Maine by Peter D. Vickery,Charles D. Duncan,Jeffrey V. Wells,William J. Sheehan Pdf

A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated overview to the birds of Maine The first comprehensive overview of Maine’s incredibly rich birdlife in more than seven decades, Birds of Maine is a detailed account of all 464 species recorded in the Pine Tree State. It is also a thoroughly researched, accessible portrait of a region undergoing rapid changes, with southern birds pushing north, northern birds expanding south, and once-absent natives like Atlantic Puffins brought back by innovative conservation techniques pioneered in Maine. Written by the late Peter Vickery in cooperation with a team of leading ornithologists, this guide offers a detailed look at the state’s dynamic avifauna—from the Wild Turkey to the Arctic Tern—with information on migration patterns and timing, current status and changes in bird abundance and distribution, and how Maine's geography and shifting climate mold its birdlife. It delves into the conservation status for Maine's birds, as well as the state's unusually textured ornithological history, involving such famous names as John James Audubon and Theodore Roosevelt, and home-grown experts like Cordelia Stanwood and Ralph Palmer. Sidebars explore diverse topics, including the Old Sow whirlpool that draws multitudes of seabirds and the famed Monhegan Island, a mecca for migrant birds. Gorgeously illustrated with watercolors by Lars Jonsson and scores of line drawings by Barry Van Dusen, Birds of Maine is a remarkable guide that birders will rely on for decades to come.
