Records of the brambling in North America

A Brambling, Fringella montifringella , was seen regularly in Portland, Oregon, from 22 November 1967 to 3 April 1968 and photographed by many people. First discovered at a feeder in the northeast section of the city by Jeff Gilligan and Ron Klein, from January on it was a daily visitor to the feeder of the Albert H. Praels in the same part of Portland. The bird, judged by plumage to be a male, fed regularly with House Finches ( Carpodacus mexicanus ) on sunflower seeds. The occurrence of this individual in Portland was recorded in Audubon Field Notes (22: 471, 1968) without detail.

Habitat use at night by wintering American woodcock in coastal Georgia and Virginia

Nocturnal habitats used by American woodcock (Scolopux minor) were studied using radio telemetry at two coastal wintering sites in Georgia (1982-84) and Virginia (1991-92). In Georgia, use of forested habitats at night was extensive while use of fields at night varied between years but generally was low. We found no difference in the probability of moving to a field at night among the four age-sex classes (P = 0.23). A significant effect (P < 0.05) of age-sex class was noted between distances moved from diurnal to nocturnal locations in Georgia. Young females moved farther than any other age-sex class. In Virginia, no effect of age-sex class was found on the probability of being located during the night in either a field or a forest.

A.B.A. Checklist: Birds of Continental United States and Canada

The 'Summary' in this edition of the A BA Checklist has been greatly expanded to include all properly documented records for each accidental species. These records are published, except for a very few recent ones which are in press or in preparation. Emphasis is on records supported by specimens or photographs, but sight records are also included. To make these accounts more useful to researchers, a reference has been given for each record. All records, except those identified as '(photo)' or '(specimen)', or by some other type of objective evidence, are sight records. Because of the interest shown in this section of the Checklist, coverage has not been confined to accidental species (defined as those which have occurred fewer than ten times in the ABA Checklist area during the twentieth century). Accounts are also given for selected rare visitors and native species. Two of the primary references are abbreviated in the accounts: Audubon Field Notes-AFN, and American Birds-AB.
