Download or read book The Wood Duck and the Mandarin written by Lawton L. Shurtleff and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996-11-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of conservation told through the natural histories of two of the world's most fascinating birds, the Wood Duck of North America and the Mandarin of Asia. The only two species in their genus (Aix), these Northern Wood Ducks are native to different continents but have long been kept together in captivity. Now, for the first time in history, they are also flying side by side in the wild in a small area of northern California. This rare circumstance has given Lawton L. Shurtleff and Christopher Savage the opportunity to observe the Northern Wood Ducks' close relationship and is the starting point of this informative and beautifully rendered book. The opening chapters tell how the Wood Duck and the Mandarin came to inhabit the Pacific Flyway and explain their extraordinary similarities. Subsequent chapters discuss the distinctive histories of the two species and describe the birds throughout the seasons in their native flyways. The Mandarins' place in Asian art and literature is the subject of Chapter Five. The final chapter illuminates the successful work done to protect the North American Wood Duck, which has made a remarkable recovery from near extinction, and the beginning efforts to protect the Mandarin, whose existence in East Asia is seriously threatened. Stunning full-color photographs by renowned wildlife photographers, along with photographs by the authors, capture the exquisite beauty of these much revered birds. Detailed maps show the Wood Ducks' territory in North America and the Mandarins' territory in East Asia and Great Britain. Three appendices--plans for building nestboxes, instructions for banding birds, and lists of books and conservation organizations--and a thorough index are valuable resources in a book that will delight bird-lovers and general readers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing for Wood Ducks The'ben is slightly smaller and more somber in color. She has a gray-brown head and body and a white throat and eye ring. What She lacks in color she makes up in sound, for She is much more vocal than the male. Unlike other waterfowl, the wood duck limits its range principally to deciduous forest areas of the eastern half of North America. It is at home in suitable wooded habitats from Florida to New Brunswick, and from southeastern Texas to northwestern Minnesota. A small breeding group inhabits the west coast from central California into southern British Columbia. The wood duck is the only waterfowl breeding in numbers in Illinois. Here it breeds from the cypress swamps at the southern tip of the state to the tamarack bogs at the northern border, and from the Mississippi River on the west to the Wabash River on the east. In the region of the Illinois River valley near Havana, it reaches its greatest abundance in the state. Few areas in the nation have had as dense breeding populations as this area. The wood duck has undoubtedly suffered more adversities than have most other ducks. By the early l9oo's, the combined effect of habitat destruction and overshooting had so seriously depleted its numbers that conservationists feared the Species would be exterminated. The passage Of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 gave the woodie complete protection from legal shooting. This protection was continued until 1941, when in 15 states a new legal provision permitted one wood duck in the daily bag or in possession of each hunter during the waterfowl hunting season. This legal provision was later extended to most other states. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The North American Perching and Dabbling Ducks written by Paul Johnsgard and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the fourth in a series of books that collectively update and expand P.A. Johnsgard's 1975 The Waterfowl of North America, summarizes research findings on this economically and ecologically important group of waterfowl. The volume includes the mostly tropical perching duck tribe Cairinini, of which two species, the muscovy duck and the wood duck, are representatives. Both species are adapted for foraging on the water surface, mostly on plant materials, but typically perch in trees and nest in elevated tree cavities or other elevated recesses. This volume also includes the dabbling, or surface-feeding, duck tribe Anatini, a large assemblage of duck species that mainly forage on the water surface but nest on the ground, or only very rarely in elevated locations. Of this tribe, 12 species that regularly breed in North America are included, among them such familiar species as mallards, wigeons, pintails, and teal. Descriptive accounts of the distributions, populations, ecologies, social-sexual behaviors, and breeding biology of all these species are provided, together with distribution maps. Five additional Eurasian and West Indian species have been reported several times in North America; these have been included with more abbreviated accounts, but all 17 species are illustrated by drawings, photographs, or both. The text includes about 84,000 words and contains more than 1,000 references. There are also 12 distribution maps, 21 drawings, 28 photographic plates, and 58 anatomical or behavioral sketches.

Download or read book With Wings Extended written by Greg Hoch and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, many people had given up on the wood duck, dooming it to extinction along with the passenger pigeon and Carolina parakeet. Today, it’s one of the most familiar and most harvested ducks in the eastern half of the country, and one of America’s great conservation success stories. In With Wings Extended, Minnesota conservationist Greg Hoch introduces readers to a duck they probably recognize but may not know well. This book shows how almost anyone can get involved in conservation and do something for wildlife beyond writing checks to conservation organizations. Hoch illustrates the complexities of wildlife and habitat management that landowners as well as state and federal wildlife agencies deal with on a daily basis, and takes readers through the life stages of what is largely considered the most beautiful duck in the world. In this fascinating and practical read, Hoch blends the historical literature about the species with modern science, and also shows how our views of conservation have changed over the last century.
