Dumetella

Bark lice (Liposcelis) were in nests of 11 species, including yellow-billed cuckoos (Coccyzus americanus), eastern phoebes (Sayornis phoebe), blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata), house wrens (Troglodytes aedon), marsh wrens (Telmatodytes palustris), American robins (Turdus migratorius), gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis), brown thrashers (Toxostoma rufum), rose-breasted grosbeaks (Pheucticus ludovicianus), common grackles (Quiscalus quiscula), and house sparrows (Passer domesticus).

Data from one microbe, Escherichia coli 8739, revealed that American robins (Turdus migratorius) had significantly lower bactericidal capacity than house sparrows (Passer domesticus) or gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis).

From late May-July 2007, we located and monitored the nests of seven species known to breed in edge habitat: Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis), Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia), Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), and Red-winged Blackbird (Yasukawa and Searcy 1995, Imbeau et al.

Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) was the most-caught bird (14 captures), followed by Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens) (10) and Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) (9).

Five species comprised 67% of all captures: Passer domesticus (house sparrow), Turdus migratorius (American robin), Dumetella carolinensis (gray catbird), Spinus tristis (American goldfinch), and Cardinalis cardinalis (northern cardinal).

To evaluate potential differences in fitness relative to phenological period, we estimated mass change in 13 species of landbird migrants [Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula), Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus), Veery (Catharus fuscescens), Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), Blue-winged Warbler (Vermivora pinus), Nashville Warbler (Vermivara mficapilla), Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia), Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica), Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus), Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), and White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) ].

Northern cardinal, gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), American robin, and blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) accounted for 64% of the identifications.

Miller and Miller (1999) reported anecdotally that plum provides nesting cover for northern bobwhites, brown thrashers, northern mockingbirds and gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis).
