In our study region, twigs of cape wild-plum with their pubescence may assist with thermoregulation and, thus, contribute to survival of verdins in relatively harsh environmental conditions.

Energy savings attending winter-nest use by verdins (Auriparus flaviceps).

The verdin (Auriparus flaviceps) is the only species in the genus Auriparus and the only species in the family Remizidae found in the New World.

Behavioral adaptations of the verdin to the desert.

Observations of a ruby-crowned kinglet (Regulus calendula) roosting in a verdin (Auriparus flaviceps) nest in winter.

Webster and Weathers (1988) found that the body resistance of Verdins declined by [less than]10% over a similar range of wind speeds and temperatures.

Our data confirm that total thermal resistance ([r.sub.T] = [r.sub.b] + [r.sub.e]) values are low for Verdins compared to those of similar-sized birds (Webster and Weathers 1988).

These values are similar to those of Webster and Weathers (1988) for Verdins. Using their Eq.

To examine SHG in a ecologically relevant context, heat balance should be estimated for irradiances normally encountered by free-living Verdins. Typically, direct short-wave irradiance on a clear day in the Sonoran Desert ranges from 900-1100 W/[m.sup.2] and varies both with time of day and season.

In the following analyses, we examine the potential importance of solar heat gain and convective heat transfer to water and energy expenditure in Verdins.
