Things are looking up. Mr. Cardinal just fed Mrs. Cardinal in a tree near my 
feeders.

Think Spring!

Yet another reason to love birds:  after a certain point in late winter,
they say, To hell with the temperature, I'm getting on with it!

I assume it's hours of daylight rather than temperature that triggers behaviors.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] A hint of things to come...

2014-03-05 Thread Mike Pitzrick
I just located this 2012 review paper on the topic: Photoperiodic Control
of Seasonality in Birds http://jbr.sagepub.com/content/16/4/365.abstract.
In case you can't see that link from where you are, here's a brief excerpt
from the abstract.

This review examines how birds use the annual cycle in photoperiod to
 ensure that seasonal events--breeding, molt, and song production--happen at
 the appropriate time of year ... In predictable breeders (most nontropical
 species), photoperiod is the predominant proximate factor. Increasing
 photoperiods of spring stimulate secretion of gonadotropin-releasing
 hormone (GnRH) and consequent gonadal maturation.



-Mike
