Topic: Wren Blackberry


  
  Problems with wrens on the bluebird trail (Part 1)
Wrens are a problem in that they try to fill all empty boxes with sticks, but I have never seen a wren carry sticks into an occupied box or attempt to drive away other birds exploring empty boxes, although I have seen them take a quick peek in the hole while parents were away.
I strongly suspect this was the wren (#1) that got evicted from the box on the other side of the driveway (territory demarcation?) in which the evictor wren (#2) is now nesting, with 5 eggs as of today.
Wren #1 did make a half-hearted pass at the BCCH while there were 'dee eggs in the hanging box, but was repelled in no uncertain terms.

As you'll see, bird groups such as sparrows, wrens, hawks, and warblers are common to each community, but the actual species differ depending on the habitat.
In the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic states, the original grasses are replaced with plants such as goldenrod, mullein, asters, and brambles (flberry).
Tall saguaro cactus and spiny cholla cactus are common, mixed with trees such as ironwoods and palo verdes, and shrubs such as saltbush, creosote bush, and mesquite.

 The Question Box   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
House Wrens in particular are undesirable occupants as they will usurp an occupied bluebird house by piercing and removing bluebird eggs, and/or building their own nests over the nest of the bluebird.
Wren nests are identified by the presence of small sticks nearly filling the box.
Wrens prefer the security of these edges and might not use a box if it is placed in a more open area.

Wren wrote: "All this talk of 'patent trolls' is then but a red herring, fabricated by large multinationals as a diversion away from the real issue...that they have no valid defense against charges they are using other parties' technologies without permission.

One of the other great things about the trails is that they allow access to flberry vines without having to worry about scratchy thorns and itchy chiggers that are so irritating at this time of year.
One problem in classifying flberries is that they can reproduce asexually by sending out runners, establishing a large local colony of plants that are identical in appearance and genetic make-up.
To complicate matters, flberry appearance also seems to be influenced by environmental factors such as soil nutrients, exposure, and available moisture.

 Navasota Examiner
Two young cousins, both five years old, and a third cousin, eight years old, were the victims of sexual assault as they visited in Blackberry, an area near Plantersville during their summer vacation.
John Wren said the procedure they must follow is rigidly set forth by the courts and deputies fully explain to offenders the process they must follow.
Up until this year, counties were required to publish the names and whereabouts of sex offenders registered in the county, a requirement set aside by the current state legislature.

 Reed College Canyon: "Ecology of the Canyon"
The Himalayan flberry receives no mention in her thesis, and judging by her rigorous and systematic search, it is safe to assume that it was not present.
Honesty and the English wood hyacinths are obvious examples of "escapes" from the surrounding house's gardens, as they are strictly found in peripheral parts of the canyon in dense columns leading back to the yards of houses abutting the canyon.
These two flowering plants are very different than the ivy, holly, and flberry in that by the standards of many students and other users of the canyon, their attractive and showy pink and purple flowers provide a beautiful bloom in the spring (which is of course why they came from gardens).

Just over 500 hectares, or 25 per cent of the original swamps remain in good condition, mostly on private land in patches of less than five hectares.
They are under threat from changed and intensified land use, local population growth and unsustainable agricultural practices, vegetation clearance, water extraction, invasion by exotic weeds such as Blackberry and inappropriate management practices.
With funding from the Trust, and after years of hard work, the Recovery Team - along with landholders - has developed the 'Swamp Management Guidelines for the Fleurieu Peninsula', which helps farmers identify what it is they need to do to manage their swamps.

Snowshoe the Hare and his friend had run thumpety thumpety thump to the shelter of the flberry brambles when they had heard Scrap­per the Kingbird's warning, "Keep-keep-kip kippa kippa kippa kippa kip." They hadn't stopped to see what it was about.
Bluebird long to see that Jenny Wren had actually moved into his new Nesting Box, and she told him very plainly that she expected to stay.

Cambridge Renaissance scholar Jardine follows up her 2002 biography of Christopher Wren with this satisfying rehabilitation of Hooke, Wren's colleague in rebuilding London after the devastating fire of 1666.
Jardine is at times a slightly awkward writer, but she has an interesting story to tell and, on the whole, she tells it well.
Robert Hooke, when he is thought of at all, is generally remembered as the "vain, bad-tempered, quarrelsome adversary of Sir Isaac Newton", forever seeking acknowledgment that it was he, not Newton, who first published the inverse square law of gravitational attraction.

 Recovery Plan for the Mt. Lofty Ranges Southern Emu-Wren (Stipiturus malachurus intermedius) 1999-2003
At about two months of age young males (as observed in the field) are essentially indistinguishable from their fathers, the blue having attained the intensity of adulthood (Pickett, in prep.).
A male and female (apparently together) moved approximately 2.5 km and were observed at the new location on three consecutive visits over three months, but have not been recorded there since, despite searches of the site.
By 2002, observations of MLR Southern Emu wrens use of preferred microhabitats (Action 3a) would have led to the identification of key habitat features and production of a check sheet for monitoring vegetation (Action 2c).
