ʻO ka buzzard ākea ākea (Buteo platypterus) no ke kauoha ʻo Falconiformes.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka buzzard ākea ākea
ʻO ka buzzard ākea ākea e pili ana i 44 cm ka nui a loaʻa i kahi ʻēheu o 86 a 100 cm.
Kaona: 265 - 560 g.
Ua kapa ʻia ka hawk ākea ākea ma hope o kona mau ʻeheu ākea, kahi ʻano o ke ʻano o kēia ʻano. ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi ka laulā, keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo e holo i loko o ka hiʻu a i ka hapalua o ke kiʻekiʻe. ʻOkoʻa ka buzzard ākea ākea mai nā ʻelele ʻē aʻe o ka geneo Buteo i loko o kona kino liʻiliʻi, ʻo ka silhouette ʻoi aku ka nui a me nā ʻēheu ʻoi aʻe.
ʻEleʻele nā manu makua ma luna a me nā plumage māmā ma lalo.
ʻEleʻele-ʻeleʻele ka huelo me nā kaha keʻokeʻo maopopo a ʻoi iki hoʻi, kokoke ʻike ʻole ʻia i ka hopena o ka huelo. Ke noho ana ka buzzard ākea ākea, ʻaʻole hiki nā piko o kona mau ʻēheu i ka piko o ka huelo. ʻO ke kala o ka plumage o nā manu ʻōpio e like me ke kala o ka hulu o nā mākū ākea ākea ākea, akā naʻe, keʻokeʻo ko lākou mau ʻaoʻao i lalo me nā aʻa ʻeleʻele. Mālamalama ka huelo me 4 a 5 mau ʻāpana ʻōuli pouli. ʻO nā buzzards ākea ākea i kēlā me kēia makahiki he keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo ma lalo o ka ʻaoʻaoʻeleʻele.
ʻO kēia ʻano manu o ka manu pio he ʻano ʻeleʻele kona i nā wahi o ka ʻākau. ʻO ka plumage o kēlā mau kanaka ʻeleʻele loa, a me lalo, akā like ka huelo me nā buzzard ākea āpau. ʻEhā mau ʻano kāhea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā manu. ʻO ka uē ka mea i kaulana loa, e lawelawe ana e māka i ka ʻāina, e like me ka wā o ka pūnana ʻana, ma nā wahi, ka hoʻoilo, ke kiʻo kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe e kū ana mai ʻelua a ʻehā kekona ‘kiiii-iiii’ a i ʻole ‘piiowii’. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻopuka ʻo ia i nā kani i nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā kūlana kaiaulu, e like me nā hakakā a me nā pilina.
Nā hale noho maʻamau
I ko lākou wahi noho, makemake nā buzzards ākea i nā nāhelehele deciduous, deciduous a me coniferous, kahi e loaʻa ai nā wahi pūnana maʻalahi. Ma loko o kahi nohona i hāʻawi ʻia, ʻike ʻia lākou kokoke i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā alanui, nā ala e kuʻina a palena paha ma nā kahawai a me nā kula. Hoʻohana nā buzzards ākea ākea i ka wahi manuahi e ʻimi ai i ka meaʻai. Hōʻalo lākou i ka pūnana ʻana i nā ululāʻau paʻa me nā kumulāʻau ulu ulu.
Hoʻolahalaha ākea ākea ākea
ʻO ka buzzard ākea ākea ka endemikona i ka ʻāina ʻAmelika. Māhele ʻia ia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ka hapa nui o ka ʻaoʻao hema o Kanada. Me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻoilo, neʻe ia i ka hema i Florida, kahi i loaʻa ai nā manu manu lele ma nā pali o ke kapakai Pākīpika ma Mekiko, ma ka ʻākau o ʻAmelika Hema, ma ʻAmelika Waena. ʻO ka buzzard ākea ākea he sedentary ma Cuba, Pokoliko. ʻIke pinepine ʻia nā kāne me nā manu ʻōpio.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ka buzzard ākea ākea
Noho mehameha nā buzzards ākea ākea a ʻaʻole i wehewehe ʻia e nā ʻano teritori, koe wale no ka wā o ka neʻe ʻana. ʻAʻole i aʻo ʻia nā wahi hānau o nā buzzards ākea me ka pololei kūpono, akā me he mea lā ua ʻike pinepine ʻia nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine. ʻO ia kekahi o nā ʻano manu manu laka ma ʻAkau ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu i nā hui manu he nui.
I waenakonu o ka neʻe ʻana, hiki i kekahi mau hipa (kahi a ka poʻe loea i kapa aku ai he 'ipu ahi' a i ʻole he 'teapot') ke hiki aku i kekahi mau tausani mau kānaka. ʻO kēia mau ʻāpana he plurispécifiques a loaʻa paha i nā ʻano predator ʻē aʻe.
E like me nā papa ʻē aʻe o nā buzzards, ka buzzard ākea ākea kahi pailaka glider maikaʻi loa.
Hoʻohana ia i nā ea i luna, wela o ka ea e lele i luna, pale i ka uku o ka ikehu hou aʻe no ka lele ʻana i nā ʻeheu.
I ka wā hoʻoulu holoholona, hōʻailona nā buzzards ākea ākea i ko lākou wahi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā leo kuhi hewa mai kahi puʻu kiʻekiʻe. ʻEleu lākou e hana i ka lā.
Hānai ākea ākea ākea
ʻO nā buzzards ākea ākea nā manu monogamous. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā pālua i ka pūnāwai, ma hope koke o ka hōʻea ʻana i nā wahi pūnana, mai ka waena a hiki i ka hopena o ʻApelila. Hōʻike nā huakaʻi hōʻike i nā lele lele a me nā mōhai ʻai maʻamau, ʻoiai aia he ʻike iki e pili ana i ka noho aloha ʻana o kēia mau manu. Hiki i nā kāne ke noho pū no hoʻokahi kau.
ʻO ka wā pūnana mai ʻApelila a ʻAukake, akā hoʻokahi wale nō paʻa a nā manu. Hoʻomaka ka hana ʻana o ka pūnana ma ka hopena o ʻApelila a i ʻole mua o Mei. Kūkulu nā buzzards makua i kahi pūnana mai 2 a 4 mau pule. Aia ia ma kahi kikowa i nā lālā kokoke i ka kumu o kahi kumulāʻau coniferous. ʻO nā ʻāpana o ka wahie popopo, nā lālā hou, nā ʻāpana ʻili i mea kūkulu hale. Hoʻohana kekahi mau buzzards ākea i nā pūnana kahiko o nā manu manu ʻio ʻē aʻe hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoponopono.
ʻO ka maʻamau ma kahi o 2 a 3 mau hua i loko o kahi paʻa, waiho ʻia ma hope o hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau lā paha. Uhi ʻia nā hua me ka keʻokeʻo a i ʻole ka holika a i ʻole ka pūpū bluish iki. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka wahine mai 28 a 31 mau lā. I kēia manawa, mālama ke kāne i ka meaʻai o ka hoa. ʻIke ʻia ʻo Chicks me ke kukui i lalo me nā maka hāmama, a ʻaʻohe mea kōkua ʻole e like me kekahi ʻano manu manu ʻio ʻē aʻe.
ʻAʻole haʻalele ka wahine i nā keiki no hoʻokahi pule ma hope o ka hatching.
I ka hoʻomaka o ka manawa hānai, lawe mai ke kāne i ka meaʻai i ka pūnana, haehae ka wahine i nā ʻāpana mai ona a hānai i nā moa. Akā a laila, ma hope o hoʻokahi - ʻelua pule, ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ka pūnana e hele i ka hopu holoholona. Haʻalele nā buzzards ākea ākea i ka pūnana ma hope o 5 a 6 mau pule, akā noho mau ma ka ʻāina o nā mākua no ka manawa lōʻihi no 4 a 8 mau pule. I ka makahiki 7 mau pule, hoʻomaka lākou e ʻimi kūʻokoʻa a haʻalele i ka hilinaʻi ʻana i nā manu makua.
I ka nele i ka meaʻai a i ʻole nā mea e hōʻoki ana i ka hānai ʻana, hoʻopau nā keiki i hoʻomohala ʻia i nā keiki ʻōpio. Akā ʻano laha ʻole kēia hanana i waena o nā buzzards ākea.
E ʻai ana ka buzzard ākea
ʻO nā buzzards ākea ākea nā mea hoʻoulu hulu. Hoʻololi nui kā lākou papaʻai i nā kau. Ua hoʻomalu ʻia e:
- nā kolo,
- nā amphibians,
- nā mea kolo,
- mammal liʻiliʻi,
- manu
Hiki ke loaʻa kēia loot i loko o ka makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, i ka wā o ka pūnana ʻana, nā buzzards ākea ākea e lele pinepine i nā squirrels, shrews and voles. ʻOi aku ka waiwai o nā mea ʻili hulu: nā rana, nā moʻo, a me nā manu manu ʻio ʻio. Ma waho o ka wā hānau, nā dragonflies nui, nāhesa a me nā pāpaʻi, a me nā meheu i hopu ʻia. Ke ʻai manu, hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ke kupapaʻu mai ka hulu.
Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka neʻe ʻana, hānai nā buzzards ākea e like me ka maʻamau, no ka mea ʻaʻole hōʻiliʻili lākou i nā mālama momona. ʻAʻole pono lākou i ka ikaika i kā lākou lele ʻana no ka mea he mokulele maikaʻi loa kēia a ʻaʻole hoʻonele nā manu i ka nui o kā lākou huakaʻi.
