The status of osprey research in western North America
Charles J. Henny
1985, Book chapter, Raptor Research Foundation Symposium on the Management of Birds of Prey. International Meeting. Session 9. Western North American Osprey Symposium.
The status of research on the Osprey tn western North America is reviewed. For discussion purposes the geographical populations are conveniently subdivided into Canada and Alaska, the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the western interior of the United States, and Mexico. Suggestions are made for further research on the...
A review of organochlorine pesticide residues in Swainson's hawk eggs
Charles J. Henny
1985, Book chapter, Raptor Research Foundation Symposium on the Management of Birds of Prey. International Meeting. Session 1. Workshop: Status and Listing Needs of Ferruginous and Swainson's Hawks. November 1985
U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service research projects during the last 10 years in the Pacific Northwest resulted in the collecting of a sample egg from 35 Swainson's Hawk nests (Henny and Kaiser, 1979. Murrelet 60:2-5; Henny et al. 1984. Raptor Research 18:41-48). Pesticide residues, eggshell thickness, and reproductive...
Case histories of organophosphate pesticides killing birds of prey in the United States
Charles J. Henny, E. J. Kolbe, E. F. Hill, L. J. Blus
1985, Book chapter, Raptor Research Foundation Symposium on the Management of Birds of Prey. International Meeting. Session 10. Second Raptor Research Foundation Conference on Raptor Conservation Techniques. November 1985
Since 1982 when secondary. poisoning of Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) was documented following the recommended use of famphur on cattle, the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center has tested for organophosphate (OP) poisoning in selected birds of prey found dead. This report documents the circumstances for a number of. cases where birds...
Alaska peregrine falcon productivity in 1984 and the role of organochlorine residues
Robert E. Ambrose, Charles J. Henny, R. E. Hunter
1985, Book chapter, Raptor Research Foundation Symposium on the Management of Birds of Prey. International Meeting. Session 4
Twenty Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) eggs (one per eyrie) were collected at random in Alaska in 1984 for organochlorine residue analysis. Prior to this study we had obtained only addled eggs which were possibly not representative of the egg-laying population if addled eggs contained different levels of organochlorines than viable...
Recent changes in the ranges of North American birds
C.S. Robbins
V.D. Ilyichev, V.M. Gavrilov, editor(s)
1985, Book chapter, Acta XVIII Congressus Internationalis Ornithologici, volume II
The North American Breeding Bird Survey has provided an annual index of population change since 1966. About 2400 randomly distributed roadside routes of 50 three-minute stops each provide the basic data for computer analysis. One of the reports produced shows the percentage of routes on which each species is encountered...
The manatee in Haiti
G. B. Rathbun, C.A. Woods, J. A. Ottenwalder
1985, Oryx (19) 234-236
The future looks bleak for the manatee population in the waters around Haiti. Results of a survey conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service suggest that numbers have declined drastically over the last 50 years. The best hope for the few remaining is that the hunting expertise will vanish...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Snowshoe hare
Raymond G. Carreker
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.101
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the Snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Swamp rabbit
Arthur W. Allen
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.107
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Spotted owl
Stephen A. Laymon, Hal Salwasser, Reginald H. Barrett
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.113
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Red-spotted newt
Patrick J. Sousa
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.111
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Least tern
Raymond G. Carreker
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.103
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the least tern (Sterna antillarum). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: White ibis
Terrence M. Hingtgen, Rosemarie Mulholland, Robert W. Repenning
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.93
White ibises (Eudocimus albus) are members of the family Threskiornithidae in the order Ciconiiformes. They are medium-sized wading birds with a tapering decurved bill. Adults are white with black tips on the four largest primaries. Males tend to be 35% larger than females, averaging 1,036 ± 30 g (33 ±...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Southern and gulf flounders
Kevin M. Enge, Rosemarie Mulholland
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.92
Both the southern and gulf flounders (paralichthrS lethostigma, f. albi~utta) are important commercial and recreationa species. Catch statlstics for flounder do not differentiate between species; however, southern flounders are more common than gulf flounders except on the gulf coast of Florida (Topp and Hoff 1972). The commercial fishery consists of...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Lesser snow goose (wintering)
John C. Leslie, Phillip J. Zwank
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.97
The lesser snow goose may have the largest population of any goose in the world (Cooch 1958; Kerbes 1975; Ogilvie 1978). Its arctic breeding range has greatly expanded since the mid-1950's (Bellrose 1976). In the United States, it normally ranks behind only the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) in population size...
