| Nesting, feeding, characteristic behaviors: |
Nests
in a deciduous tree or in a conifer at a height of 10-20 (0-75) feet,
in a cup nest. This species is a rare cowbird host. During the breeding
season, this species is a vermivore: ground gleaner; omnivore: lower-canopy
forager. During the non-breeding seasons this species is an omnivore: ground forager; lower-canopy
forager. |
||||
| Habitat: | Breeds in Utah in lowland riparian
and urban habitats. |
||||
| How to find: | Contrary to popular
opinion this bird is not a harbinger of spring—at least not in Utah County
and particularly not this winter (2003-4) in Utah where it is widespread. It
has been seen on every Provo CBC
beginning in 1973 to the present with the lowest number (19) in 1979 and the
highest (2044) in 1990. Since this is a very common yard bird I doubt that
detailed descriptions of where to go to find it is needed. ~ Merrill Webb |
