Lipid and water depletion in migrating passerines following passage over the Gulf of Mexico Lipid and water depletion in migrating passerines following passage over the Gulf of Mexico
Lipid depletion is currently believed to be the primary factor limiting flight duration of migrating birds in North America, while the influence of water loss is thought to be small. Three migrating species of passerines, wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), Swainson's thrush (Catharus ustulatus), and summer tanager (Piranga rubra) were captured during the 1993 spring migration just after...

Comparison of condition indices in migratory passerines at a stopover site in coastal Louisiana Comparison of condition indices in migratory passerines at a stopover site in coastal Louisiana
We evaluated the utility of four nondestructive condition indices—body mass, body mass scaled by wing chord length, fat scoring, and total body electrical conductivity method (TOBEC)—as predictors of lipid levels in migrating Wood Thrushes (Hylocichla mustelina), Swainson's Thrushes (Catharus ustulatus), and Summer Tanagers (Piranga rubra). The Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)...
