haemorhous is the latin name for the genus that includes house , purple , and cassin’s finches , and many bird watchers use the term to avoid having to mention all three each time .
redhead populations have remained relatively steady since 1955 , hovering in the 400 , 000 to 800 , 000 range . as of the 2009 survey , there were more than 1 million redheads , a plateau that was reached in 2007 ( u . s . fish and wildlife service , 2009 ) .
redheads tend to begin their breeding season in late april to early june . when a large group of breeding redheads were studied , it was found that only half of the pairs were breeding . apparently not all redhead hens attempt to breed . these non - breeding hens are probably primarily yearlings .
flocks of house finches are common at bird feeders during the non - breeding season . some flocks may stay together through the breeding season as well , and birds will use bird feeders year round . they often forage on the ground , but also perch on weeds , shrubs , or trees . both males and females may sing during the breeding season , and males sing year round .

disease greatly affects the longevity of the redhead . duck virus enteritis ( dve ) , caused by the herpes virus , can cause hemorrhaging and death within two weeks of exposure . if the duck survives , it may become a carrier of the disease . redheads are moderately susceptible to this . another disease that affects the ducks is avian botulism . the disease affects the peripheral nerves , and one characteristic is a drooping neck . maggots feed on the birds that died of avian botulism , concentrating toxin inside themselves . when a redhead eats the maggot , the toxin is ingested and the cycle starts all over again . lead posioning is also a major cause of death in waterfowl . the duck eats the lead pellets that have been discarded from shotgun shells . the duck will become weaker over time until it starves to death . redheads are very susceptible to this because they are bottom - feeders . also , one of the greatest threats to the redhead is hunting .
the redhead ( a . americana ) of north america resembles the common pochard of europe but is larger and darker . its round - headed , short - billed profile distinguishes it from the similarly coloured canvasback . hunters call redheads “fool ducks” because they can be lured with decoys so easily . scaups , or bluebills , …

characteristics and range sometimes confused with the slightly larger canvasback , the redhead is the more common breeder of the two species in british columbia . although females generally make their own nests , they have the distinction of regularly laying eggs in the nests of other redheads or those of other species , especially their close relative the canvasback . restricted to north america , the redhead breeds mainly in prairie potholes and marshes in southwestern canada and western united states , with scattered disjunct populations elsewhere ( woodin and michot 2002 ) . wintering birds are concentrated in coastal wetlands of the gulf of mexico , but can be found across much of much of western north america north to southern british columbia .

this striking and unmistakable bird was a favorite of early ornithologists such as alexander wilson and audubon . often conspicuous because of its strong pattern , harsh calls , and active behavior in semi - open country , it tends to occur in small colonies . although it migrates only short distances , little groups of migrants may be noticeable in early fall and late spring . once a very common bird in eastern north america , the red - headed woodpecker is now uncommon and local in many regions .
this wide - ranging species exhibits a high degree of flexibility in habitat and food use and reproductive behavior , yet , paradoxically , its numbers consistently are surpassed by populations of most other prairie - nesting ducks of north america . many aspects of redhead biology are well known : e . g . , timing and routes of continental migration , courtship behavior , and pairing chronology ( weller

courting male redheads perform a gymnastic “head throw” display , bending nearly in half with the neck bent far over the back until the head touches the tail . the bird then snaps its neck forward while giving a loud , catlike mee - ow call .
the house finch is a recent introduction from western into eastern north america ( and hawaii ) , but it has received a warmer reception than other arrivals like the european starling and house sparrow . that’s partly due to the cheerful red head and breast of males , and to the bird’s long , twittering song , which can now be heard in most of the neighborhoods of the continent . if you haven’t seen one recently , chances are you can find one at the next bird feeder you come across .

immature birds , or birds that are only a few years old , can also readily be identified by having yellowish irises . as the bird attains full maturity over the course of 3–4 years , the iris slowly darkens into a reddish - brown hue .
) , and a couple field marks must be noted in order to distinguish the two . the redhead is slightly smaller ( 19 - 20 inches ) , has a shorter bill , and is darker on the back and flanks . males have a red head and grey body , while females are mostly dark brown . the redhead breeds primarily in the northern great plains , with smaller breeding populations in the southern plains , the rockies , and alaska . although some western areas see redheads all year , most redhead populations migrate south to the southern two - thirds of the united states and into mexico in winter . despite this vast winter range , much higher concentrations of wintering redheads may be found along the coast than in the interior . redheads breed in freshwater wetlands . in winter , this species primarily inhabits coastal areas with plentiful seagrasses . redheads predominantly eat aquatic plants in summer ; in winter , their diet includes seagrasses and mollusks . one of several species of “diving ducks” in north america , redheads may be observed submerging themselves to feed on submerged plant matter . in winter , they may also be observed in large flocks on coastal bays and lagoons . this species is primarily active during the day .

ducks become sexually mature at 1 year of age . they are polygynous . in many species males will defend their mates until the start of incubation , but play no part in incubating and rearing the ducklings . ducks show no mate loyalty . there are also parasitic species , notably the redhead ( aythya americana ) , in which the female will sometimes lay in a host nest and show no parental care .
the swans , geese and ducks are grouped in the anatidae ( pronounced ah - nah - tih - dee ) ; a bird family with one hundred sixty - four species in forty - eight genera , various members of which can be found on all continents .
in canada , the band - tailed pigeon ( columba fasciata ) is found in forested habitats of coastal british columbia . this species has a very low reproductive rate of one egg per pair , but some nest twice each season . the breeding bird survey ( bbs ) provides an annual index to the abundance of the band - tailed pigeon since 1970 . results from the breeding bird survey indicate no significant trend in the population over the long term ( 1973–2009 ) or in the last 10 years ( 1999–2009 ) in canada .

as with the canvasback , the redhead had suffered continental population declines in recent decades , but wintering numbers in the state now ( 2017 ) seem to be rebounding , and the peak counts are now from the past few years . its winter range is quite localized , with several favored feeding grounds - - mostly core sound and the pea island / pamlico sound area - - hosting a few thousand birds , often in dense mono - specific flocks . over 90 % of the wintering population feeds in shallow sounds / bays ; birds seen on coastal lakes and impoundments are often simply roosting or sleeping . however , the species does forage in fresh water , such as on larger lakes and impoundments . unlike the canvasback , which is a casual visitor to the mountains , the redhead occurs in small numbers nearly every season ( though as transients / visitors ) .
after an incubation period of 24 - 28 days , the eggs of the redhead hatch . the ducklings remain in the nest for 3 - 18 hours after hatching so that their down can dry . at 56 days , the juvenile can be seen flapping accross the water , and at 70 to 84 days the ducks are learning to fly . some ducks can sexually reproduce at a year , but more time is usually needed .

the ruddy duck is not an abundant species in canada , and it is mainly found in the prairie pothole region of canada . ruddy duck numbers are stable or increasing throughout most of its north american breeding range . the species is not an important game bird species in canada .
redheads usually gather in small flocks , often mixed with other diving duck species . but in the winter they congregate in very large flocks , made up of tens of thousands of birds . although they are considered divers , they often feed by dabbling . a notable behavior of the redhead is their tendency to parasitize , or lay eggs in other duck ' s nests . many ducks will lay eggs in each others nests , but the redhead takes this practice to another level . female redheads regularly parasitize each other , and at least ten other species of duck , and some non - duck species as well . most females parasitize in addition to raising their own brood , but some females may be entirely parasitic , not raising their own brood at all . sometimes , dump nests occur that are untended and never incubated , but may have up to 87 eggs in them .
these three are the ones that cause the most identification problems for bird watchers . although they’re nomadic , they are more common than most of the other finches . all three species can be found at the same feeders in some parts of north america , and they look almost alike .
the call is a wild laugh , similar to the northern flicker . its drumming can be very loud , often sounding like someone striking a tree with a hammer . this bird favors mature forests , but has adapted to use second - growth stands and heavily wooded parks as well .
this diving duck , restricted to north america , breeds widely throughout the prairie pothole region of the united states and canada . it also nests in dense concentrations in marshes of the western united states . in contrast to its extensive breeding distribution , the redhead in winter is concentrated mostly in coastal areas along the gulf of mexico , with hundreds of thousands of birds traditionally found in the laguna madre of texas and the laguna madre of tamaulipas , mexico .
a redhead pair first inspects potential nest sites from the air , flying low over marshes in the morning and evening . the female swims into dense vegetation to investigate nest sites while the male waits nearby . females choose stands of cattails and bulrushes , located over water where they are safer from mammalian predators . they also nest on uplands and islands within a few feet of the water . if water levels are high , females may nest atop muskrat houses .
when you come across a baby bird out of its nest , it’s hard to resist the urge to come to the rescue . but most of the time it’s best to do nothing . see our primer on when to take action for baby songbirds found out of the nest . learn more >

the nest , though it is seldom that any nest material is used , is usually in a hole in a tree , a crack in a rock face , or in a rabbit burrow , but the bird also nests in ivy , or in the thick growth round the boles of linden trees .
i noticed occasional lulls of about ten minutes with no birds . sometimes this coincided with a circling hawk or a large gust of wind . however , when one bird was brave enough to return , they all rushed back . it appears that they subscribe to the safety - in - numbers philosophy .
after pair bonds dissolve the males may fly hundreds of miles north to gather on large lakes and go through a flightless stage . the main migration is fairly early in the fall , peaking in august and september . spring migration usually lasts from february to may . the redhead is the only duck that winters in greater numbers in the interior rather than on the coast , and in washington numbers during migration are heavier in the eastern half of the state than the west .
the anatidae are represented in north america by sixty - nine species in twenty - three genera ( including the extinct labrador duck ) . members of this well known bird family include the graceful , long - necked swans , familiar geese of farm fields and golf courses , and the many species of ducks .

, is a wading bird of the heron family , common all over north and central america as well as the west indies and the galápagos islands , except in deserts and high mountains where there is no water for it to wade in . the great blue heron is the largest heron in north america .
some redheads build their nests over the water so that terrestrial animals , like skunks , will not destroy them . unfortunately , water poses no problem for raccoons . terrestrial and bird predators eat the duck ' s eggs . redheads also attempt to hide their nests , and this greatly reduces the risk of predation .
it is a bird of open rather than dense woodlands , and frequently feeds on the ground . it will occasionally nest in large gardens , but is usually extremely timid , probably due to the heavy hunting pressure it faces on migration . the flight is often described as arrowy , but is not remarkably swift .
evolutionary biologists are often misled by convergence of morphology and this has been common in the study of bird evolution . however , the use of molecular data sets have their own problems and phylogenies based on short dna sequences have the potential to mislead us too . the relationships among clades and timing of the evolution of modern birds ( neoaves ) has not yet been well resolved . evidence of convergence of morphology remain controversial . with six new bird mitochondrial genomes ( hummingbird , swift , kagu , rail , flamingo and grebe ) we test the proposed metaves / coronaves division within neoaves and the parallel radiations in this primary avian clade .

there is a large black finely white-edged dot in disc at three-fifth and a fine slightly curved line of whitish irroration from a wedge-shaped white mark on the costa at four-fifth to the dorsum before the tornus .

there is a marginal series of white dots edged with blackish terminally around the posterior part of the costa and termen .

the hindwings are rather dark grey .

paectes arcigera is a moth in the noctuidae family .

it is restricted to the eastern caribbean islands , ranging from puerto rico to the lesser antilles ( including the u.s. virgin islands , the british virgin islands , guadeloupe , dominica , st. lucia and trinidad ) .

the length of the forewings is 9.5 – 12.2 mm for males and 9.8 – 11.6 mm for females .

the costal area of the forewings is gray .

there is an ovate white basal spot in the ventral half and pale gray white-tipped scales in the dorsal half .

the antemedial line is thin and black and forms the ventral border of the basal spot .

the medial area between the antemedial and postmedial lines is mostly white mixed with pale-gray scales .

the hindwings have dark gray marginal shading and the veins are highlighted in dark gray , with white between the veins and at the base .

the anal fold has a white and dark gray striped pattern .

adults are probably on wing throughout the year .

owlet moth caterpillars can be used as biological control agents for invasive plants . a species of interest for the biological control of the brazilian peppertree was submitted for identification . it was discovered to be part of a complex of eight species that are very difficult to distinguish from each other externally and can only be identified using internal reproductive structures . this study resolved the identity of the species , five new species were described , and illustrations and keys for identification using the reproductive structures are provided . this paper will be important to scientists working on the biological control of weeds and agriculturally important moths .
