Environmental contaminants, human disturbance and nesting of double-crested cormorants in northwestern Washington Environmental contaminants, human disturbance and nesting of double-crested cormorants in northwestern Washington
Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) in extreme northwestern Washington produced few young (0.27/occupied nest) in 1984; the clutch size was generally small and eggs, if laid at all, were laid later than usual. Residues (geometric means, wet weight) of DDE (0.58 and 0.59 ppm) in eggs from Colville Island and Protection Island were lower than from other locations in the...

Organochlorine residues in great blue herons from the northwestern United States Organochlorine residues in great blue herons from the northwestern United States
We collected eggs or young Great Blue Herons from eight nesting colonies in the northwestern United States from 1977 through 1982. Subadults were collected at three estuarine areas in Puget Sound in 1981 and dead young or adults were collected at various localities. Nearly all samples analyzed contained organochlorine residues. There was no evidence that nay of the organochlorines...

Persistence of DDT and metabolites in wildlife from Washington State orchards Persistence of DDT and metabolites in wildlife from Washington State orchards
Residues of the DDT group, particularly p,p′-DDT (DDT) were detected in high or unusual amounts in some wildlife samples collected in fruit orchards near Wenatchee, Washington from 1979 to 1983. Samples of birds contained p,p′-DDE (DDE) and DDT in ratios (DDE:DDT) as low as 2.6:1 in eggs and 1.9:1 in brains. An unexpectedly high number (about 50%) of some samples, such as fat of adult...

Case histories of bald eagles and other raptors killed by organophosphorus insecticides topically applied to livestock Case histories of bald eagles and other raptors killed by organophosphorus insecticides topically applied to livestock
Since 1982 when secondary poisoning of a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was documented following the recommended use of famphur applied topically to cattle, the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center has tested dead birds of prey for poisoning by famphur and other pouron organophosphorus (OP) insecticides. Brain cholinesterase (ChE) activity was first determined, then if ChE was...

Field methods to evaluate effects of pesticides on wildlife of the northwestern United States Field methods to evaluate effects of pesticides on wildlife of the northwestern United States
Field .methods used to evaluate the impact of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides on wildlife populations in the Pacific Northwest are reviewed. Five field studies, presented in a CASE HISTORY format, illustrate study designs .and thetypes of information collected. The pesticides investigated included DDT, heptachlor, endr1n, and famphur, and the species studied included the...

Concentrations of metals in mink and other mammals from Washington and Idaho Concentrations of metals in mink and other mammals from Washington and Idaho
From 1981 to 1983, concentrations dfof metals were determined in mink Mustela vison, muskrats Ondatra zibethica, and small mammals at one contaminated site in Idaho and at two less contaminated sites in Idaho and Washington. The highest concentrations of Pb and Cd occurred in samples from the Coeur d'Alene River system near or downstream from an extensive mining—smelting complex in...

Radiotelemetry locates wintering grounds of DDE-contaminated black-crowned night-herons Radiotelemetry locates wintering grounds of DDE-contaminated black-crowned night-herons
This study was designed to determine if night-herons nesting at Ruby Lake, Nevada, shared a common wintering area with lesser contaminated night-herons nesting farther north in Oregon and Idaho. Radiotelemetry (29 transmitters) and banding studies indicated that the lesser-contaminated Oregon-Idaho night-herons wintered primarily in coastal Mexico (mean 22-23'N latitude), while the Ruby...
