Contribution of landbird migration to the biological diversity of the northwest gulf coastal plain
This study examined seasonal diversity and feeding behavior of those avian species utilizing that region of the Northwest Gulf Coastal Plain known as the Chenier Plain. Field observations were conducted at three forested locations on coastal cheniers for three years (1993-95) in the spring and at one location for three years (1996-98) in autumn to determine species presence and diet. One...

Winter ecology of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler
We studied the ecology of the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) during three winter seasons, 1995-1998, in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. Individuals of this species occurred almost exclusively as members of mixed-species flocks, occupying sites with greater densities of encino oak and ground cover and fewer pines than random sites. Most foraging observations were recorded...

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
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)...
