ECOLOGY (BIO 202) CONSERVATION DATA WORKSHEET Name: Directions: Complete the laboratory exercises and answer each question below in a distinguishable font (i.e. red) . Each question is worth 1 point unless otherwise indicated; 10 points of this assignment is from the nature reflection sheet. Total 25 points. EXERCISE 1: GREAT SWAMP AND RAPTOR TRUST After visiting the Great Swamp and Raptor Trust, answer the following questions. 1. Throughout the Great Swamp there were many bird boxes. What species were they intended for and why were they needed? There were small bird boxes and large bird boxes used for nesting. There were large bird boxes for the wood ducks to nest in and small bird boxes for the Eastern bluebird. 2. Did you see any animals in the marsh environment? If so, what were they? If not, what species would you have expected to see? We did not see any animals in the march environments due to the fact that it was too cold for the animals to be out. We could have expected to see different species of turtles and frogs. Some turtles include snapping turtles, eastern painted turtles, and box turtles. You could also potentially see wood ducks. 3. Why is it important to protect wetlands? In general, what functions do they provide and then specifically, why is it important to you (2 pts.)? Wetlands provide a natural way of controlling flood and provide protection from storm damage through absorption and storage of water when there is high runoff. They also help control water pollution by preserving the quality of drinking water. Wetlands also help control sediment and soil erosion by acting as a buffer that traps the sediments from natural and main induced erosions. They provide breeding, spawning, and wintering habitats for fish and other wildlife. Wetlands also absorb and store a significant amount of surface water runoff. It is important to me because they help control water pollution, help to have safe drinking water and provide sufficient habitats for wildlife. 4. What is the common name for Haliaeetus leucocephalus ? Bald eagle

5. What is the non-raptor bird with black plumage that is known for its intelligence? Raven 6. What is the smallest and most common falcon in North America? American kestrel 7. What chemical greatly influenced the survival of raptor species and how did it affect them? DDT is a chemical found in insecticide. The chemical interfered with the reproductive cycle of the raptors. 8. What are some characteristics of buteos? They are robust hawks. They have long, broad, rounded wings. They can easily be seen flying in circles or perched along the road. They hunt mainly from perches. They also tend to prefer environments with both clearings and trees. 9. What is the smallest owl found in New Jersey? Saw whet owl 10. Select a raptor that you saw at the Raptor Trust and describe its life history (5 pts.). Barred owls live year round in forests with lots of trees that are typically located near water. They tend to occur in large groups. They eat many small animals such as mice, squirrels, and chipmunks. Barred owls are native to eastern North America, south Canada, and regions of Mexico. They have expanded into western North America. Barred owls are about 11,000 years old. Barred owls are related to the spotted owls and can be found in similar habitats. 11. Please paste an image below of your nature reflection. Locate something that stands out or that you find particularly interesting at the Great Swamp. Draw it and describe it. Not everyone is an artist or a writer and that is okay! Just take the time out to sit, enjoy your surroundings, and reflect (10 pts.)!
