Text Appearing Before Image:
SPOTTED SANDPIPER (Actitis macularia) Along the shores of ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton one may encounter a small, noisy, spotted-breasted shorebird. This bird teeters nervously and when alarmed flies with stiffly held wings and short, rapid wingbeats alternated with periods of gliding. While in flight the bird utters a repetitious, staccato "peet." The well- camouflaged eggs of this species are usually placed on or near the ground along the gravelly shores of a stream or pond or within a few feet of the shore. The precocial, downy young must avoid contact with coyotes, weasels, and other forest predators if they are to grow to maturity.
Text Appearing After Image:
MOURNING DOVE (Zenaida macroura) Although it is one of the most ecologically tolerant, and therefore widely distributed of all birds, the mourning dove is a breeding bird of limited distribution in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Because it feeds primarily on waste grains and weed seeds, the mourning dove prefers open, semi- arid environments. In Yellowstone and Grand Teton it breeds primarily in the sagebrush-grassland habitat complexes. Mourning doves construct flimsy nests of grasses or twigs. These nests are placed on any available horizontal branch. The two white eggs deposited in the nest hatch in fourteen to sixteen days. The young doves, which are fed a partly pre- digested fluid by the parents, develop rapidly, leaving the nest in twelve to fourteen days. 34
