Anemia and mechanism of erythrocyte destruction in ducks with acute Leucocytozoon infections
In the anemia which accompanies infection by Leucocytozoon simondi in Pekin ducks there was a far greater loss of erythrocytes than could be accounted for as a result of direct physical rupture by the parasite. Erythrocyte loss began at the same time the 1st parasites appeared in the blood and was severest just prior to maximum parasitemia. Blood replacement and parasite loss occurred simultaneous

Lack of association among duck broodmates during migration and wintering
Male (Lensink, 1964: 19) and female ducks tend to return to the area where they last bred or were raised (Sowles, 1955). Band recovery data show a similar tendency for ducks to return to wintering areas (Stewart et al., 1958; Martinson, 1966). Wintering British Columbia Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) populations may be definite associations of birds that breed in the same general locality, migrate t

Singing behavior of the Swainson's warbler
Studies of the singing behavior of the Swainson?s Warbler were conducted mainly near Macon, Bibb County, Georgia, and in the Dismal Swamp, Nansemond County, Virginia, during the springs of 1965 and 1966. Singing behavior on the ground and in trees is discussed. Swainson?s Warblers sing vigorously from the time they arrive on the breeding ground until the latter part of June, when the singing of mo
