Factors most closely explaining activity patterns and behavior of northern saw-whet owls in migratory stopover habitat
… Illinois—a site used by NSWO as a migratory stopover and wintering location. The goal was to investigate how activity patterns (i.e., movements) in the dusk, dawn, and night were impacted by environmental covariates. Owls were most active at dusk and dawn and on warmer darker nights with …

Migratory Stopover of Songbirds in the Western Lake Erie Basin
Songbirds use multiple stopover locations to rest and refuel for subsequent flights while migrating between breeding and non-breeding areas. Selection of high quality stopover habitat may allow migrants to minimize time and energy spent in migration and maximize fitness. Migrants should therefore …

Spring Phenology and Trophic Ecology of Trees, Caterpillars, and Migrating Neotropical -Nearctic Songbirds
… of wood warblers and vireos through the stopover is independent of earlier- or later-than-average spring warm-ups, and, in the event of trophic asynchrony, the magnitude of the trophic cascade generated by birds feeding on caterpillars is altered in the form of increased or decreased …

Stopover duration and habitat use of spring-migrating dabbling ducks in the Wabash River Valley, USA
… period of the waterfowl annual cycle. Stopover sites along migration routes contain habitats and resources required by waterfowl to rest and refuel before continuing north to the breeding grounds. The Wabash River Valley (WRV) in southeastern Illinois provides habitat for over 500,000 …
