Sandhill Cranes

This chapter shows how the author journeyed out to Nebraska in the last days of March to witness the tail end of one of the great ornithological wonders in North America: the northward migration of sandhill cranes along the Platte River. For probably 10,000 years or more, the tall, steel-gray birds have thrown their unmusically beautiful calls across the shallow floodplain that is now in the heart of America's corn and burger-producing breadbasket. In the air they were gracefully buoyant and powerful fliers. On the ground they were just as stately — walking, stalking, dancing, and prancing as crane-kind does. When one is surrounded by cranes it is easy to understand how the family of birds have generated awe and worship around the world.

St Lawrence River

The life cycle of Bythinia tentaculata has been studied over a period of 2 years in five localities of the freshwater estuary of the St. Lawrence River. Sexual maturity is attained after 2 years and the species is iteroparous; this might prove to be a particularly advantageous reproductive strategy in this river. The main phases of individual growth are related to age and thermal variations of the water and they occur during the months of May, June, and July of the first 2 years. Eggs are laid once a year and growth stops during winter for about 6 months. These results on the life cycle and growth of B. tentaculata, particularly in the fluvial section of the St. Lawrence River, are more similar to those obtained in Europe than to those obtained elsewhere in North America. Numbers, biomass, and production are markedly higher here than the values found by other investigators on the same species.[Journal translation]
