Redder is Better for Male Cardinals

Male cardinals reflect their reproductive qualities through the brightness of their red feathers.
Bright feather color may indicate superior genes in bird species with red feathers. Male Northern Cardinals, Scarlet Tanagers, and House Finches all have striking red plumage that’s thought to play a role in attracting mates. Researchers have found that males with the brightest red plumage tend to be most successful in attracting a female. Studies suggest that a male’s redness signals to females that he will help produce superior offspring.To develop red feathers, they need to eat seeds or fruit that contain pigment molecules called yellow carotenoids. Their bodies change those pigments from yellow to red, which are transferred to color feathers.

But just because a male cardinal is a brilliant shade of red, does that mean he’s stronger or more fit than his duller-colored competitors? Biologists think one answer may lie in a male’s mitochondria, the energy powerhouses inside its body cells. Research indicates that red carotenoids are concentrated in the mitochondria, and bright coloring is linked to mitochondrial performance. In general, birds with the brightest color also tend to have better foraging skills, better immunity, enhanced winter survival, and improved skill at avoiding predators.

The above short article is part of a transcript from a BirdNote podcast that was published by its partner, Audubon, at https://www.audubon.org/news/for-male-cardinals-redder-better BirdNote episodes are aired daily on public radio stations nationwide.

NWTF Announces “Call for All” Fundraising Campaign

Dear Fellow Conservationists,

As an active National Wild Turkey Federation member, you understand our organization and the sacred relationship between wildlife, wild places and people. The last four months have changed all our lives and challenged us to re-evaluate our priorities and our passions. In short, COVID-19 has threatened lives, livelihoods and the NWTF.

To help sustain our mission, we have had to streamline our organization to better fit the financial reality of today. These measures were painful but helped us reduce expenses substantially. However, it is not enough; we still need your help to keep our mission, our operations and our field work alive. Replacing the lost revenue from shutting down our fundraising events this spring will ensure our beloved mission lives on for future generations. This is the reason we are issuing a rare Call for All to raise an additional $5 Million this summer.

Answer-Button (1).jpg

Over the next few weeks, we are asking ALL members to consider an additional gift to the National Wild Turkey Federation. No contribution is too small. Participation from 100% of our membership, while a lofty goal, will reinforce the faith you have in the Federation and the collective commitment we have to our mission of preserving our hunting heritage and the conservation of the wild turkey. The funds raised will be key in jump-starting many of the important initiatives the national pandemic has sidelined.

The NWTF remains steadfast. But now, more than ever, we need the help of our members to keep our mission moving forward.

Please join me in giving to the NWTF in this time of great need. https://your.nwtf.org/call-for-all/

Yours in Conservation,

CCRKBA: No Private Security for MN Citizens

12500 N.E. Tenth Place ? Bellevue, WA 98005 • www.ccrkba.org

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today advised residents and especially Minneapolis business people to arm themselves after the City Council voted to disband the police department, yet is spending thousands of dollars providing private security for three council members.

“What’s happening in Minneapolis is a reprehensible act of hypocrisy,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “While council members are planning a lengthy process of developing what they call a ‘new public safety model,’ what are the citizens supposed to do? They’re not getting private security protection. That’s apparently a perk only for three council members who claim to have received threats since the killing of George Floyd last month. Read more

Fish & Wildlife Service Biologist Injured by Grizzly

Bozeman, MT — A biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) was attacked by a grizzly bear in the Centennial Valley Wednesday morning. The individual suffered serious bite wounds but is expected to recover fully.

The USFWS employee was working on a sage grouse monitoring project on Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge about a mile west of Elk Lake. The biologist heard a noise in the sagebrush and turned to see two grizzly bears in a close-encounter situation, approximately 80 to 100 yards away.

One bear stood up, and the other charged the biologist. The biologist deployed bear spray at the charging bear and throughout the attack until the attacking bear ran away with the other bear. Read more
