Wood thrush postfledging movements and habitat use in northern Virginia
Article Abstract:
Postfledging movements and habitat use of the Wood Thrushes of northern Virginia were examined to determine the significance of postfledging dispersal, particularly to the conservation of the species. The study found that postfledging movements among Wood Thrushes were mainly prompted by the availability of food resources and the presence of conspecifics. The ecological significance of the postfledging period lies in the need to protect habitats used during the period as well as during the nesting period in order for conservation to be successful.

Variation in Song Sparrow nest defense: individual consistency and relationship to nest success
Article Abstract:
A study on the variation in Song Sparrows' nest defense was conducted to determine their individual consistency and relationship to nest success. A Northwestern Crow and a Dark-eyed Junco served as predators mounted near nests during incubation. Results reveal that female Song Sparrows spent more time near the crow showing more alarm to it as compared to the Junco. Furthermore, female responses were independent from their age and subsequent success of their nests.
