Seasonal trends in summer diet of the lapland longspur near Barrow Alaska USA Seasonal trends in summer diet of the lapland longspur near Barrow Alaska USA
Contents of lapland longspur [Calcarius lapponicus] stomachs and esophagi were sampled near Barrow, Alaska [USA], from May-Aug. in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1973. Data from stomach contents were corrected for differential digestion of prey items. Longspurs shifted seasonally from larval to adult arthropods and back to larvae, responding to changes in the abundance of these prey items. Seeds...

Feeding habitat use by colonially-breeding herons, egrets, and ibises in North Carolina Feeding habitat use by colonially-breeding herons, egrets, and ibises in North Carolina
Nine species of herons, egrets, and ibises were followed by airplane from a nesting colony near Beaufort, North Carolina to their feeding sites. Except for Cattle Egrets, which flew exclusively to fields and dumps, the birds flew mainly to saltmarsh habitat. The selection of feeding habitats by Great Egrets and Louisiana Herons was directly related to tidal depth. The Great Egret was the...

The use of feeding habitat by a colony of herons, egrets, and ibises near Beaufort, North Carolina The use of feeding habitat by a colony of herons, egrets, and ibises near Beaufort, North Carolina
Nine species of herons were followed to their feeding sites from a nesting colony near Beaufort, North Carolina, by airplane. Except for the Cattle Egret, which flew exclusively to fields and dumps, all other species flew mainly to saltmarsh habitat. In addition, habitats were selected in relation to tidal depth and it appears, at least for the Great Egret, that low tide habitats were...
