Cloven Feathered Dove

Habitat: Their habitats are on crops, arable and waste land, gardens. Commonly on footpaths and in

All species are found in North America and tend to be nocturnal, but they inhabit relatively unique niches, which is evident in various minute differences between the species, including fur and nose size. C. townsendii tends to live in evergreen forests that have a moderate climate while C. mexicanus lives in higher, more humid and mountainous habitats. For this reason, C. townsendii has a darker, thicker coat; not only does it act as better natural camouflage, but the coarse, thick hair protects it well from the environment. C. refenisquii is found primarily in the Southwestern United States, but migrates frequently due to the changes in

The boat-billed herons average height for a full grown adult is about 20 inches. They weight usually about 600g or 1.3 pounds. They have a unique black patch at the base of the hind neck. The animals feathers are a pale grey to white color,they have a chestnut colored belly and black on their side near the hip and ribs. They also have a scoop like bill, so they can scoop up their prey. They have wings that they fly with, as their main source of transportation. The have eyes, ears, and a beak that help them to find their prey, but mostly rely on touch. To protect themselves they raise their dark feathers that are located on their heads.

Suspected Current Location- Can be found in waters of coastal United States. Primary nesting areas include Florida and Georgia. Preferred habitat is the open ocean, and preferred nesting beaches are mainland sites facing deep water.

An environment with a lot of vegetation and their preys is ideal for them. They are perfect hunters with ability to stalk their prey with patience and stealth. They then capture their meals with one strong leap. These animals live in solitary or in territories. One unique thing about them is that the females do not share the same territory with each other. Territories for males usually tend to overlap. The territories are established with scent markings and the size varies extremely. The size ranges from twenty five to thirty square miles for males and five square miles for females (Sunquist & Fiona

2) Using the eBird website, I was able to determine the seasonal geographic distribution of the Lark Bunting. December through January, which is winter for those in North America, the Bunting is located in the southwestern United States. It resides in areas located near Texas, Mexico, southern California, and New Mexico. May through July, which is generally summer, the Bunting is located in areas vastly different its winter destinations in that it can be found mainly in the central United States and southern Canada, but is seemingly spotted all over the western United States and, if one keeps their eyes peeled, a few north eastern states.

It has a dark green color, which allows it to blend in with the bushes and other vegetation around it. This helps it because it can also sneak up on its prey and hide from predators. Since it is able to fly very high, they build their nests high up in the trees by the river. This provides its chicks with plenty of protection from predators on the ground. This can also pose a threat for the hawk’s chicks since there is a possibility that a chick can fall out of the nest. This is very unlikely to happen, since the mother hawk is always reinforcing the nest with various twigs found along the riverbank once the chicks have hatched, while the male hawk watches over the baby birds or catches food for them. The female river hawk lays the eggs, which must be kept warm and dry in order for the unborn chick to survive. The nest also must be reinforced when the mother it incubating her eggs or they could fall. Generally, these river hawks are pretty well-behaved and they have really good

The preferred habitat for this species are wet areas such as river bottomlands, floodplains, wet prairies, and marshes. However, relatively drier habitats are often used in summers. They feed primarily on small rodents, but may also consume frogs, other snakes, and nesting birds. Breeding generally occurs during summer or early fall, although it can occur

The fauna in the area include small animals and medium to large birds. There is also a wide range of insects common to the area. The peppermint stick insect is especially prevalent. Cassowaries and scrub turkeys can sometimes be seen wandering the area. The rhino beetle is also a common insect to the region.

Their powerful back legs allow them easy travel through down timber in the boreal forest habitat they are known to inhabit. Boreal forests are known for

is a large seabird, has a long gray bill, long pointed tail, and has white feathers all over

Habitat: Gharials live in rivers. They especially like calm areas of deep rivers. They like to gather on the sandbanks of the rivers to bask and to nest, but mostly they don’t go onto dry land because they can’t lift their bodies off of the ground.

Wyoming, meaning that these little guys can also live in the high desert. The grassland

Where to hunt- Dove is one of the most complex waterfowl in my opinion. The have an unpredictable pattern where ducks do the same thing in repetition. Doves like short grass close to tall sunflowers and dead trees. Now with this being said they are not always their. On of the best ways to get doves is to walk down a gravel road. Ducks are more predictable they are fans of shallow about 3ft of water. They prefer this in a marsh like sanario. The marsh provides them with food so they will take it over most lakes.

Enviorment: The Angolensis lives in the warm tropics of equatorial Angola. It lives in the warm rainforest of central Africa as well.
