Nā Meaʻai : Nūnū, nā'ūhā, nā mimiki, nā anuhe ( See: Insectivorous )

Ka Nohoʻana a me ka Holoʻana:

Hoʻopukaʻia kēia mau mea kālepa e wehe i nā wahi ulu lāʻau e ulu mai ana i nāʻauwaha a me nā māla momona ma kaʻaoʻao hikina o ko lākou āpau a hiki i nā ululāʻau koʻikoʻi a me nā pinipona juniper i ke komohana.

ʻO nā ululāʻau o'Oak a me nā'āpana lāʻau e kūpono hoʻi i nā mea'alaʻula.

ʻO kēia mau manu he mau makahiki āpau i ka hemaʻo Kaleponi a ma kaʻaoʻaoʻo Baja, a ma nā wahi nui o Mexico a hiki i kaʻaoʻao hema o ka mokuʻo Yucatan. ʻO ko lākou ākea āpau a hiki i ke kahawaiʻo Gulf Coast a hiki i Florida, a ma ka'ākau hoʻi ma ka Atlantic Coast a hiki loa i North Carolina.

Loaʻa nā'āpana pale Blue-hina i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma nā Bahamas.

I ke kauwela, e hoʻonui ana kēia mau manu liʻiliʻi i ko lākou kūlana ma ke kūkulu'ākau aʻikeʻia ma Kaleponi, Nevada a me Utah ma ke komohana, a ma ka hikina eʻikeʻia lākou ma ka hikina a me ka piko o Texas a ma Oklahoma, ke kahawaiʻo Kansas, Iowa, kaʻaoʻao hemaʻo Wisconsin a ma ka 'āpana o ka United States. Ma ka nui o ka maheleʻana, akā, ua hala loa lākou ma kahi o ka Plains Nui nui kahi i kūʻole ai ka ulu lāʻau kūpono.

I ka hoʻoilo, e neʻe iki aku kēia mau manu i ka hema a hiki ke loaʻa ma Mexica Hema a ma waena oʻAmelika Hema a hiki i ka hema ma Honduras. Uaʻikeʻia nō hoʻi lākou ma Cuba a me nā wahi'ē aʻe o ka Caribbean.

Nā Mahi:

ʻO kēia mau manuʻeleʻele i lohe pinepineʻia ma mua o kaʻikeʻiaʻana, a me kā lākou mau hua'ōlelo "speuse" e hoʻokomoʻia me nā hua'ōlelo 3-4 e haku mele pīkī ana, akā e like paha nāʻano likeʻole ma keʻano pitch. He mauʻano kūpono ka leo o nā piila, aʻo kekahi mau mea lohi paʻakikī kekahi o kēia mau hua manu. Ke paio nā kāne, hiki ke loheʻia nā pahele pāʻoihana.

Nā hana:

He mau mea ikaika kēia, nā manu ikaika e noho kaʻawale a loaʻa paha ma ka pālua. Hiki iā lākou ke'ākoki i ko lākou neʻeʻana i ka lālā luna o nā lāʻau e hōʻiliʻili ana me ka hawking no nā'ōpala, a pinepine pinepine lākou e pākilo i ko lākou huelo e wehe a paniʻia aiʻoleʻaoʻao mai kekahiʻaoʻao.

ʻOiai eʻaneʻane kokeʻia nā'ōpoki liʻiliʻi, hiki i nā gnatcatchers hina-hina ke hahau i nā'ōpū nui i kahi lālā a huki i ko lākou mau'ēheu ma mua o kaʻaiʻana iā lākou. Hiki i nā kāne keʻoi aku ke koʻikoʻi a hoʻoneʻe i nā manu nui mai nā wahi hānai maikaʻi a iʻole nā ​​wahi āpau.

Hōʻano houʻia:

He mau manu manu wale kēia a ua hana pū nā kāne a me nā wāhine i ka pūnana kapu ma kahi o 3-25 kapuaʻi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi lāʻau, akāʻo kahi o nā pūnana e hiki keʻike nuiʻia. Hoʻokumuʻia ka pūnana mai nāʻanoʻoluʻolu, nā mea maikaʻi, me nā hulu, ka puʻupuʻu, nā lapalapa a me nā mea kanu, a paʻaʻia me ka siliki lili. Hiki i nā'ōpili gila-hina ke hoʻomaka i kahi mau nīnī ma mua o ka hoʻomakaʻana e waiho i nā hua, a hiki ke hana hou i nā mea e hana ai i waena o nā pūnana.

ʻO nā hua manu oval he pale āleʻele paha a heʻulaʻula keʻokeʻo a he kīkohu wale nō me nā wahiʻeleʻele.

Aia nā kumukū 3-5 ma kēlā me kēia keiki , a hoʻokahi hānai hānai e ho'ālaʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki,ʻoiai e hiki ke hānaiʻia he lua o nā keiki ma nā poʻe o ka hema me nā lā hānau. Hāʻawi nā mākua i nā kuleana hana no nā lā 11-13, a ma hope o ka'ōpiopio'ōpiopio, hoʻomau nā mākua i ka mālama i nā moa no 10-12 mau lā a hiki i ka wā e mākaukau ai lākou e haʻalele i ka pūnana.

Hiki i kēia mau manu ke hoʻololi i ka palekana mai nā ululāʻau poʻo hina a hikiʻole i ka poʻe'ōpiopio ke maʻalahi ināʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea pale o ka pale lole pale i ka pūnana.

Ke hoʻokipa nei i nā Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers:

ʻAʻole i maʻalahi kēia mau manu i nā kuapā aʻaʻole iʻike pinepine i nā mea hānai manu, akā, hiki i ka mālamaʻana i ka hoʻolālāʻana i nā manu e hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohuli iā lākou, inā paha e hoʻopauʻia nā'ōpala e mālama ai i ka meaʻai i makemakeʻia e nā meaʻai.

Hoʻomalu:

ʻAʻole i manaʻoʻia nā kaumākāle Blue-hina i ka hoʻoweliweli a iʻole i ka pōʻino, aʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻonui ka laulā i ka hoʻomehanaʻana o ka loli i nā'āpana'ākau o ka'āpana aʻoi aku i nā wahi i kūpono no ka hānauʻana. Hiki i kēia mau manu ke hoʻokuʻu i ko lākou mau pūnana inā pilikia, akā, he mea nui ka paleʻana i nā wahi kikowaena mai ka pilikia.
