ʻO ka lupe ʻo Misisipi (Ictinia mississhioensis) no ke kauoha ʻo Falconiformes.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka lupe ʻo Misisipi
ʻO ka Mississippi Kite kahi manu manu liʻiliʻi e pili ana iā 37 - 38 knm ka nui a me kahi ʻēheu o 96 cm. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka ʻēheu i 29 cm, ʻo ka huelo he 13 cm ka lōʻihi. ʻO kona kaupaona 270 388 gram.
ʻAno like ka silhouette me ka falcon. He nui iki aʻe ka nui o ka wahine a me kona ʻēheu. ʻAno hina hina nā manu makua. ʻEʻeleʻele nā ʻeheu a māmā ke poʻo. Nā hulu kumu liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻaoʻao lalo o ke kala kēpau alohilohi. ʻO ka lae a me nā wēlau o nā hulu lele liʻiliʻi he keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo.
ʻO ka huelo o ka lupe ʻo Mise kū hoʻokahi i waena o nā predator avian o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻeleʻele loa kona waihoʻoluʻu. Mai luna mai, aia nā ʻēheu i kahi lauoho lauoho ʻeleʻele i kahi o nā hulu ʻēheu mua a me nā kiko keʻokeʻo ma nā hulu ʻaoʻao. ʻO ka hulu uhi luna o ka hiʻu a me nā ʻeheu, nā hulu lele nui a me nā hulu o ka huelo he hina-ʻeleʻele. Hoʻopuni kahi frenulum ʻeleʻele i nā maka. He hina kēpau kēpau maka. He palena melemele ko ka nuku ʻeleʻele a puni ka waha. He ʻulaʻula ke iris o ka maka. ʻUlaʻula carmine ʻulaʻula.
ʻOkoʻa ka waihoʻoluʻu o nā manu ʻōpio i ka hulu o nā lupe makua.
He poʻo keʻokeʻo ko lākou, ʻāʻī a me nā ʻāpana o lalo o ke kino transversely ikaika - ʻeleʻele i ʻōuli - ʻeleʻele. ʻO nā plumage āpau āpau a me nā hulu ʻeheu e ʻeleʻele māmā me kekahi mau palena ʻokoʻa. ʻEkolu mau kaha keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo o ka hiʻu. Ma hope o ka lua o ka molt, loaʻa i nā ʻōlapa ʻo Misisipi ke kala o ka manu makua.
Nā wahi noho o ka lupe a Misisipi
Koho nā kipi ʻo Misisipi i nā wahi waena a me komohana hema ma waena o nā ululāʻau no ka pūnana. Noho lākou i nā nāhele wai i hoʻopiha ʻia i kahi o nā lāʻau me nā lau ākea. Loaʻa iā lākou kahi makemake no ka ulu lāʻau ākea kokoke i nā wahi hāmama, a me nā nāhelehele a me nā wahi mahiʻai. Ma nā wahi hema o ka laulā, loaʻa nā kites o Misisipi i loko o nā ululāʻau a me nā sabana, ma nā wahi kahi e ʻalo ai nā ʻoka me nā kula.
Hoʻolaha o ka lupe a Misisipi
ʻO ka Kite Mīkini kahi manu endemeke o nā mea pio ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. Hānau lākou ma ʻAlikona ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka Great Plains, e hohola ana i ka hikina i Karolina a i ka hema i ke awāwa ʻo Mexico. Noho lākou i nā helu he nui i waenakonu o Texas, Louisiana a me Oklahoma. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hoʻonui nui ʻia kā lākou mahele o ka mahele, no laila hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia mau manu lele ma New England i ka puna a me nā tropic i ka hoʻoilo. Hoʻokumu ʻo Misisipi i ka hoʻoilo ma ʻAmelika Hema, hema o Florida a me Texas.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hana a ka lupe ʻo Misisipi
Hoʻomaha ʻo kites Mississippi, ʻimi i ka meaʻai, a neʻe i nā hui. Hoʻokomo pinepine lākou i nā kolone. Hoʻolālā lākou i ka hapa nui o ko lākou manawa i ka ea. Māmā ka holo ʻana o kā lākou lele, akā hoʻololi pinepine nā manu i ke ʻaoʻao a me ke kiʻekiʻe a hana ʻole i nā mākaʻi pōʻai. Kupaianaha ka lele ʻana o ka lupe ʻo Misisipi; lele pinepine i ka lewa me ka ʻole o ka lele ʻana o kona mau ʻeheu. I ka wā o ka huli holoholona, pelu pinepine ia i kona mau ʻeheu a luʻu i lalo i kahi laina oblique, pā iki i nā lālā, i ka mea pio. Hōʻike ka mea ʻaihue hulu i ka agility kupaianaha, e lele ana ma luna o kahi lāʻau a kumu paha ma hope o kāna mea pio. I kekahi manawa lele ka manu lupe ʻo Misisipi, me he mea lā ke ʻalo nei i ka alualu ʻana.
I ʻAukake, i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i kahi papa momona, haʻalele nā manu manu i ka Hemisphere ʻAkau, a aneane 5,000 mile i ke kikowaena o ʻAmelika Hema. ʻAʻole ia e lele i loko o ka ʻāina; ʻai pinepine ia i nā mea kanu i kokoke i ka waihona. ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i ka lupe a Misisipi.
He manu monogamous nā kites ʻo Misisipi.
Kūkulu nā pālua ma mua koke a ma hope koke paha o ka hōʻea ʻana i nā pūnaewele pūnana. Lawe pinepine ʻia nā mokulele hōʻike hōʻike, akā ukali mau ke kāne i ka wahine. Hoʻokahi wale nō brood o kēia mau raptors i ka wā kau, mai Mei a Iulai. Mai 5 a 7 mau lā ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana, hoʻomaka nā manu makua e kūkulu i kahi pūnana hou a hoʻoponopono paha i ka mea kahiko, ke mālama ʻia ia.
Aia ka pūnana ma nā lālā luna o kahi lāʻau kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka maʻamau, koho nā kipi ʻo Misisipi i kahi ʻoka keʻokeʻo a i ʻole magnolia a me ka pūnana ma waena o 3 a 30 mau mika ma luna o ka honua. Kūlike ke ʻano me ka pūnana o ka moa, i kekahi manawa aia ia ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi ʻāpā a me ko ka ʻāmū pi, kahi pale kūpono i nā dermatobia e hoʻouka nei i nā moa. ʻO nā mea kūkulu nui nā lālā liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻāpana o ka ʻili, ma waena o kahi e kau ai nā manu i ka moʻo Paniolo a me nā lau maloʻo. Hoʻohui mau nā kipi ʻo Misisipi i nā lau hou e uhi i nā ʻōpala a me nā kulu e hoʻohaumia i ka lalo o ka pūnana.
I ka paʻa he ʻelua - ʻekolu mau hua ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo, i uhi ʻia me nā kokoleka he nui - nā ʻeleʻele a me nā kiko ʻeleʻele. Ua hiki ko lākou lōʻihi i 4 knm, a ʻo ke anawaena he 3.5 knm. Noho nā manu ʻelua i ka paʻa no 29 - 32 mau lā. ʻIke ʻōlohelohe ʻo Chicks a kōkua ʻole, no laila e mālama nā kites makua iā lākou me ka ʻole o ke kahamaha no nā lā 4 mua, e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai.
ʻO ka pūnana kipi ʻo Misisipi i nā kolone.
ʻO kēia kekahi o nā ʻano manu manu laka e loaʻa nā hoa. Hāʻawi nā ʻōpio ʻōpio i ka makahiki o hoʻokahi makahiki i ka pale no ka pūnana, a komo pū kekahi i kāna kūkulu ʻana. Mālama pū lākou i nā moa. Hānai nā manu makua i nā keiki ma kahi o 6 mau pule. Haʻalele nā ʻōpio ʻōpio i ka pūnana ma hope o 25 mau lā, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele no hoʻokahi pule a ʻelua paha, kūʻokoʻa lākou i loko o 10 mau lā ma hope o ka haʻalele.
Hanai Kite ʻo Misisipi
ʻO nā manu lele he nui loa ʻo Misisipi. Ke ʻai nei lākou:
- nā ʻalike,
- ʻO nā cicadas,
- ʻūhini,
- ʻūhini,
- Zhukov.
Lawe ʻia ka ʻimi holoholona insect i kahi kiʻekiʻe i lawa. ʻAʻole noho ka lupe ʻo Misisipi ma ka honua. I ka manawa e ʻike ka manu o ka iʻa i ka nui o nā mea kolo, hohola ia i kona mau ʻeheu a luʻu nui i kāna mea pio, hopu iā ia me hoʻokahi mau māiʻuʻu ʻelua paha.
Haehae kēia lupe i nā lālā a me nā ʻeheu o ka mea i hoʻomāinoino ʻia, a ʻai i ke koena o ke kino i ka lele a i ʻole noho ʻana ma luna o kahi kumulāʻau. No laila, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā koena o nā invertebrates ma kahi kokoke i ka pūnana manu lisa o Misisipi. Hana nā Vertebrates i kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka papaʻai o nā manu o ka ʻai. ʻO kēia ka hapa nui o nā holoholona i make ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ala ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻi ʻana me nā kaʻa.
