(Glen Everett) Comparative Breeding Behavior of Ammospiza caudacuta and A. maritima Produced by Chris Curnow, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Comparative Breeding Behavior of Ammospiza caudacuta and A. maritima" by Glen E. Woolfenden is a scientific publication from the mid-20th century, specifically published in 1956. The book focuses on the comparative study of the breeding behavior of two species of sparrows, the Sharp-tailed Sparrow ("Ammospiza caudacuta") and the Seaside Sparrow ("Ammospiza maritima"), which inhabit marsh areas in New Jersey. This work provides valuable insights into their reproductive habits, territoriality, and behaviors associated with nesting. The study presents extensive field observations and data collected during the breeding season, illustrating significant differences between the two species. Woolfenden details the territorial nature of the Seaside Sparrow, which defends its nesting territory through singing and chasing intruders, and the more loose and non-territorial behavior of the Sharp-tailed Sparrow. The book describes nest characteristics, parental care, and the growth and behavior of the young birds, highlighting the differences in nesting sites and feeding habits tied to their respective habitats. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of avian breeding behaviors within the context of their specific ecological niches. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
