Directions:
Complete the laboratory exercises and answer each question below in a
distinguishable font (i.e. red)
. Each question is worth 1 point unless otherwise
indicated; 10 points of this assignment is from the nature reflection sheet.
Total 25
points.
EXERCISE 1: GREAT SWAMP AND RAPTOR TRUST
After visiting the Great Swamp and Raptor Trust, answer the following questions.
1.
Throughout the Great Swamp there were many bird boxes. What species were they
intended for and why were they needed?
There were small bird boxes and large bird boxes used for nesting. There were
large bird boxes for the wood ducks to nest in and small bird boxes for the
Eastern bluebird.
2.
Did you see any animals in the marsh environment? If so, what were they? If not, what
species would you have expected to see?
We did not see any animals in the march environments due to the fact that it was
too cold for the animals to be out. We could have expected to see different
species of turtles and frogs. Some turtles include snapping turtles, eastern
painted turtles, and box turtles. You could also potentially see wood ducks.
3.
Why is it important to protect wetlands? In general, what functions do they provide and then
specifically, why is it important to you (2 pts.)?
Wetlands provide a natural way of controlling flood and provide protection from
storm damage through absorption and storage of water when there is high runoff.
They also help control water pollution by preserving the quality of drinking water.
Wetlands also help control sediment and soil erosion by acting as a buffer that
traps the sediments from natural and main induced erosions. They provide
breeding, spawning, and wintering habitats for fish and other wildlife. Wetlands
also absorb and store a significant amount of surface water runoff. It is important
to me because they help control water pollution, help to have safe drinking water
and provide sufficient habitats for wildlife.
4.
What is the common name for
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
?
Bald eagle
5.
What is the non-raptor bird with black plumage that is known for its intelligence?
Raven
6.
What is the smallest and most common falcon in North America?
American kestrel
7.
What chemical greatly influenced the survival of raptor species and how did it affect
them?
DDT is a chemical found in insecticide. The chemical interfered with the
reproductive cycle of the raptors.
8.
What are some characteristics of buteos?
They are robust hawks. They have long, broad, rounded wings. They can easily
be seen flying in circles or perched along the road. They hunt mainly from
perches. They also tend to prefer environments with both clearings and trees.
9.
What is the smallest owl found in New Jersey?
Saw whet owl
10. Select a raptor that you saw at the Raptor Trust and describe its life history (5 pts.).
Barred owls live year round in forests with lots of trees that are typically located
near water. They tend to occur in large groups. They eat many small animals such
as mice, squirrels, and chipmunks. Barred owls are native to eastern North
America, south Canada, and regions of Mexico. They have expanded into western
North America. Barred owls are about 11,000 years old. Barred owls are related to
the spotted owls and can be found in similar habitats.
11. Please paste an image below of your nature reflection. Locate something that stands out
or that you find particularly interesting at the Great Swamp. Draw it and describe it. Not
everyone is an artist or a writer and that is okay! Just take the time out to sit, enjoy your
surroundings, and reflect (10 pts.)!

There are many threats to the golden lion tamarin (GLT) population. These threats include logging,
urbanization and increased agriculture as well as mining and land development. Only about 7% of the
former Atlantic Forest remains, and where it does exist, it is highly fragmented and subject to
fuelwood harvesting and illegal logging. In 1969, the number of golden lion tamarin individuals in the
Atlantic Forest was found to have dropped to a low of 150 individuals. The species was listed as
endangered by the IUCN in 1982, and by 1984, the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. and
the World Wide Fund for Nature began a reintroduction program with 140 zoos cooperating
worldwide. Despite the success of the project, the IUCN classification rose to Critically Endangered in
1996. By 2003, the successful establishment of a new population at Uniao Biological Reserve
enabled downgrading the species to endangered,…

Background Information: In 1970 the deer population of an island forest reserve about 518 square kilometers in size was about 2000 animals.
Although the island had excellent vegetation for feeding, the food supply obviously had limits. Thus, the forest management personnel feared
that overgrazing might lead to mass starvation. Since the area was too remote for hunters, the wildlife service decided to bring in natural
predators to control the deer population. It was hoped that natural predation would keep the deer population from becoming too large and als
increase the deer quality (or health), as predators often eliminate the weaker members of the herd. In 1971, ten wolves were flown into the
island. The results of this program are shown in the following graph (below).
