the pipits are a cosmopolitan genus , anthus , of small passerine birds with medium to long tails .

along with the wagtails and longclaws , the pipits make up the family motacillidae .

the genus is widespread , occurring across most of the world , except the driest deserts , rainforests and the mainland of antarctica .

they are slender , often drab , ground-feeding insectivores of open country .

like their relatives in the family , the pipits are monogamous and territorial .

pipits are ground nesters , laying up to six speckled eggs .

the australasian pipit is a well - camoflaged brown ground - dwelling bird . it has darker brown streaks above , and has pale creamy white stripes on the eyebrows and below the cheeks . the underparts are creamy white , spotted and streaked dark on the breast . the wings and tail are dark brown , with the outermost tail feathers white . the eye is brown and the bill and feet are pale pink - grey . seen on the ground in open country , this species often wags its tail up and down while foraging . it was previously called richard ' s pipit .

a small , brown , streaky bird , the meadow pipit is the most common songbird in upland areas . its high , piping call is a familiar sound . in flight it shows white outer tail feathers and in the breeding season it has a fluttering ' parachute ' display flight . in winter , they are quite gregarious and gather in small flocks , often invisible among the vegetation , suddenly flying up with typical jerky flight . meadow pipit numbers in the uk have been declining since the mid - 1970s , resulting in this species being included on the amber list of conservation concern .

some of the subspecies in the group were formerly treated as a subspecies of the australasian pipit anthus novaeseelandiae and the grouping has been in state of flux . considerable colour and morphological variation with age and latitude make the species difficult to identify museum specimens . six subspecies are now included in this species .

the wagtails and pipits are small birds with fairly long , strong legs adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle . members of this family are also for the most part slim birds with long tails ( although tails of some pipit species are fairly short ) , fairly long , pointed wings , and longish , thin bills .

the american pipit has brownish - gray to gray upperparts with faint streaks , a bold , pale eyeline , variably streaked , whitish to buffy underparts , and a white eye ring . it has an upright posture , and frequently bobs its tail . a number of subspecies account for the plumage variation within the species .

we used presence / absence survey dataset but excluded survey plots characterized by high forest cover , as such surveyed areas were unsuitable and , consequently , they would contain no useful information for the modelling . for pipits , we considered only survey plots where the percent tree cover is less than 80 % of the area ( n = 1 , 874 plots ) , because the tree pipit is an ecotone species that utilizes a mixture of open grasslands and scattered trees ( laiolo , dondero , ciliento , & rolando , 2004 ) . for buntings , we selected survey plots where the tree percent cover is < 60 % of the area of the plot ( n = 1 , 790 plots ) , being both species less dependent on tree cover ( dale & manceau , 2003 ) . our sample size corresponds to 192 presences for the tree pipit , 655 presences for the water pipit , 161 presences for the yellowhammer , and 52 presences for the ortolan bunting .

the sprague’s pipit is a small bird which breeds in the great plains of north america . nesting grounds are found in the peace river district of alberta , turtleford , prince albert and shoal lake , saskatchewan , central manitoba , north dakota , montana , south dakota and minnesota . they may also be found in british columbia occasionally . this species winters in the southwestern united states and northern mexico , including california , arizona , new mexico , texas , kansas , oklahoma , missouri , tennessee , mississippi , arkansas and louisiana . typical diets consist of insects , spiders and seeds . the conservation status of the sprague’s pipit is least concern .

sprague ' s pipit : this species breeds from central alberta east to manitoba and south from montana to south dakota . it may breed as far west as british columbia . it spends winters along the southwestern and southern states from california to florida and throughout much of mexico . its preferred habitats include short - grass fields .

tree pipit , water pipit , yellowhammer , and ortolan bunting inhabit montane , alpine , and subalpine open habitats in our study area and present relatively overlapping trophic niches , being pipits more strictly insectivorous and buntings granivorous outside the breeding period ( brodmann , reyer , bollmann , schläpfer , & rauter , 1997 ; dale & manceau , 2003 ; loske , 1987 ) . tree pipit and ortolan bunting are trans‐saharan migrants ( dale & manceau , 2003 ; loske , 1987 ) . all species are territorial , mostly monogamous , and they nest on the ground . they actively defend territories in the breeding period , and males sing to mark territories and attract females . these species served as models in studies on homo‐ or heterospecific territoriality , as they reliably respond to playbacks simulating territorial intrusion ( bastianelli , seoane , álvarez‐blanco , & laiolo , 2015 ; osiejuk , ratyńska , & cygan , 2004 ; petrusková et al . , 2014 ; skierczynski , czarnecka , & osiejuk , 2007 ) .

the american pipit is an inconspicuous , slender , migratory songbird that occurs throughout north america and south to el salvador . it is one of a very few species of ground - inhabiting songbirds that breed at high altitudes in alpine meadows and on the arctic tundra . despite its generally inhospitable habitat , this species has been relatively well studied . its alpine and arctic environment is ecologically relatively simple , so interactions among species are easier to understand . in addition , short summers and climatic extremes impose restrictions on the timing of this pipit ' s breeding cycle . how this species , and other pipits , have adapted to such extremes is a question worth investigating .

found only in south africa and lesotho , the yellow - breasted pipit mainly occupies the drakensberg mountain range within the south african provinces of kwazulu - natal and mpumalanga , and the margins of lesotho . additional small populations are found in the north - east of the eastern cape and eastern parts of the free state ( 2 ) .

its call is an explosive fit . the song , as in many pipits , is a series of " blocks " of repeated more or less shrill cheeping single or double notes ; it ends on a trill and has usually fewer , but longer - lasting " blocks " ( a dozen repetitions or more ) than in the water pipit .

historically , the yellow - breasted pipit was far more abundant and widespread than it is today . sadly , the effects of intense grazing , commercial forest planting , and agricultural practices that involve the burning of grasslands , have greatly reduced and fragmented this species’ habitat . such practices are only increasing in intensity ; for example , in the wakkerstroom district , a region which supports a large number of yellow - breasted pipits , over 100 , 000 hectares of grassland has been targeted for conversion to forest plantations . if this conversion goes ahead , it could prove to be catastrophic for the yellow - breasted pipit , as the land would no longer be suitable for it to breed ( 2 ) ( 3 ) .

the yellow - breasted pipit is a rare and secretive bird found in the high - altitude grasslands of south africa and lesotho ( 3 ) . this species is most striking when in its breeding plumage , developing bright yellow underparts and wing linings ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ; in contrast , outside the breeding period , the underparts are brown or dull white with dark streaks ( 2 ) . the upperparts , which remain greyish - brown throughout the year , are boldly dappled with dark spots and patches , giving a distinctive scaled appearance . the juvenile is generally pale brown and lacks the adult’s bright yellow colouring , having creamy brown underparts instead . the characteristic calls of the yellow - breasted pipit consist of a rapid , continuous chip chip chip and a quieter suwiep ( 4 ) .

american pipit numbers may be declining . partners in flight estimates a global breeding population of 20 million birds , with 52 % spending some part of the year in the u . s . , 87 % in canada , and 36 % wintering in mexico . they rate a 9 out of 20 on the continental concern score and are not on the 2014 state of the birds watch list . back to top

the yellow - breasted pipit occurs within a number of public nature reserves , but the populations that they support are generally small . currently , only natal drakensberg park holds a significant population ( 2 ) ( 3 ) , but plans are underway to create a one million hectare grassland biosphere reserve in the threatened region around wakkerstroom that will protect and conserve a much larger proportion of this species’ total population ( 6 ) . should the reserve be created it will need careful management , so that the livelihoods of the local people and the population of the yellow - breasted pipit can both be preserved . this is also true of the other areas supporting populations of this species , where the landowners must be given incentives to manage the grassland beneficially , rather than opt for the plantation of commercially valuable forests ( 3 ) ( 6 ) .

) : effect size = m1–m2 / pooled standard deviation , where m1 is the mean of the response to the conspecific and m2 is the mean of the response to the control . the power for the comparison among heterospecifics , based on the sample size for this level and the correction of the effect size for homospecifics by the c‐score , was high . for the closest distance of approach , we obtained a power of 0 . 89 and 0 . 96 in tree pipit and water pipit , respectively . for the same variable , we obtained a power of 0 . 91 and 0 . 76 for yellowhammer and ortolan bunting . for the latency of approach , we obtained a power of 0 . 70 and 0 . 83 in pipits . for the same variable , we obtained a power of 0 . 88 and 0 . 83 in yellowhammer and ortolan bunting , respectively .

wells ( 2007 ) reports that the paddyfield pipit nests can be shallow cups to fully domed , with variations in between . in this field the nest was dome - shaped ( below right ) , built in a small unburnt area ( below left ) . at the time of observation the dome was already built : width 12cm , length 13 - 15cm ( longer than wide ) , height 9 - 10cm and oval opening 3 - 4cm diameter .

on 20th february 2010 dato’ dr amar - singh hss chanced upon a pair of paddyfield pipit ( anthus rufulus malayensis ) nest building ( above ) in a burnt grassy field around ipoh in the malaysian state of perak . for two hours in the hot sun he made discreet observations from a distance of about 10m , using his camera mounted with a 500 mm lens to document the activities . no tripod was used so as not to unnecessarily distract the birds .

pipits of the family motacillidae ( meaning " moving tail " ) are plain , sparrow - sized , insectivorous birds with slender bills . although highly terrestrial , their flight is strong and undulating . pipits walk upright along the ground with dainty steps , rather than hops . as they feed , they habitually pump their tails and bob their heads , much like a pigeon . their common name , " pipit " ( latin for " chirp " ) , imitates the sounds of their distinctive calls .

14 . 5 - 15 cm . small streaked pipit , earth - brown / greenish orange - brown with broad brownish - black streaks on top of head , mantle , scapulars and back . wings darker . tail dark brown . underparts white / grey / yellow - buff . throat side , breast and flanks streaked black - brown . juvenile more buff - brown with more obvious streaking . voice aerial song a series of segments of uniform notes . call a thin high - pitched squeak often repeated .

the new zealand pipit is a small brown - and - white songbird that resembles a lark , but has longer legs , and walks rather than hops . they are birds of open country , including the tideline of sandy beaches , rough pasture , river beds and above the tree - line . pipits are members of the wagtail family , and frequently flick their long tails as they walk . in flight their tails have narrow white sides – a character shared with skylarks , chaffinches , yellowhammers and cirl buntings .

pipits probably benefitted initially from forest clearance , but have declined in density as land - use has intensified . heavily grazed pasture and drained wetlands hold fewer pipits than rough pasture with patches of fern , and marshes or bogs . pipits have declined from drought - prone regions , and have disappeared from many islands where rats are present . while pipits use clear - felled pine forest blocks in the central north island , they are preferentially hunted by new zealand falcons there , compared to introduced passerines . pipit have greatly benefitted from rat eradication on some islands , most spectacularly on 11 , 000 ha campbell island in the new zealand subantarctic .

this is a large pipit at 15cm , but is otherwise an undistinguished looking bird , mainly streaked grey - brown above and pale below with breast streaking . it is long legged with a long tail and a long dark bill . males and females look alike . summer and winter plumages are similar . young birds are more richly colored below than adults and have the pale edges to the feather ' s of the upper parts more conspicuous with more prominent spotting on the breast . the population waitei from northwestern india and pakistan is pale while the population malayensis from the western ghats is larger , darker and more heavily streaked with nominate rufulus intermediate .

distribution : the american pipit winters in flocks from the southern united states to the fields and muddy shores of guatemala and el salvador . they breed throughout alaska , yukon , and british columbia , across the northern edge of canada to newfoundland , coastal greenland and their associated islands , and in spotty locations in the western united states . within yukon - charley rivers national preserve , these birds were detected in several ecological units , as determined during the yukon - charley rivers national preserve bird inventory , june 1999 and 2000 . they occur at their highest densities within the montane tundra of the upper charley mountain tundra ( mt ) , snowy domes ( sd ) and ogilive lime / dolostone mountains ( om ) ecological units .

we performed a preliminary analysis to test whether the month , the time of the day in which a test was performed , and their interaction could affect bird behavioral patterns . in no species we found such effects on the closest distance of approach or on the latency of the approach ( linear models : all p ≥ . 10 ) . therefore , we did not account for temporal covariates in further analyses . in order to assess the differences in the minimum distance of approach between the three playback levels ( conspecific , congeneric , and control song ) , we performed a one‐way analysis of variance ( anova ) after transforming the variable by means of a box‐cox transformation to meet the assumptions of normality ( tree pipit : λ = 0 . 30 , water pipit : λ = 0 . 26 , yellowhammer : λ = 0 . 30 ; ortolan bunting : λ = 0 . 51 ) . we performed multiple comparisons ( tukey contrasts ) to assess the significance of the differences between pairwise playback types . as the latency of approach did not meet the normality assumption , we carried a kruskal–wallis test to analyze playback effects . we performed multiple comparisons by means of dunn test . we performed power tests in the case of detecting no significant differences in the behavioral response between pairwise playback types , and we based our expectations of interference on the local spatial segregation patterns ( c‐score ) observed in each species pairs . a power ≥0 . 80 was considered as a good power ( cohen , 1992 ) . we performed the analysis with r v 3 . 2 . 2 ( r development core team , 2015 ) and g power v . 3 ( faul , erdfelder , lang , & buchner , 2007 ) .

nests : assembled by both parents , the cup - shaped nests of the american pipit are built in ground - hollows and partially concealed by overhanging rock or vegetation . constructed in 4 - 5 days of plant stems , grasses and mosses , the nests are softly lined with fine grasses , fibers and hair . a clutch consists of 4 - 7 , smooth and glossy 21mm eggs . the cryptic , ground - colored ( whitish gray ) eggs are heavily spotted in brown and pale gray and may be finely streaked , wreathed or capped in black at the larger ends . although the female alone incubates the clutch for 14 days , the male feeds her during this time . offspring fledge in another 14 - 16 days and are tended by both parents . young birds are completely independent by 29 days post - hatching and aggregate together in large , late - summer flocks .

we performed playback experiments simulating territorial intrusion in replacement areas , that is where congeners were located ≤2 km from each other ( appendix s1 ) . the study was performed during breeding , which is the sole phase of species phenology in which birds are strongly territorial and in which their ranges overlap ( one member of each pair is migratory and spends the winter elsewhere ) . during playbacks , we broadcast the songs of a conspecific male , or a congeneric male , or of a control species . overall , we tested 148 pipit males and 112 bunting males ; each individual was tested once and was randomly submitted to a playback of one of three categories mentioned above ( conspecific , congener , or control ; appendix s6 ) . we selected as controls species of a different family and that largely co‐occurred with the target species , which we assumed were no competitors . yellowhammer and whinchat ( saxicola rubetra ) were selected as the control species for pipits and buntings , respectively . similar to other playback studies , we considered that interspecific territoriality occurred if the behavioral response did not differ between conspecific and congeneric playbacks and / or if the response to the congeneric playback was stronger than to the control playback ( jankowski et al . , 2010 ; laiolo , 2013 ) .

this species is classed as near threatened owing to its small population and small range on one island , which remains susceptible to the introduction of rats . should any immediate threat arise , this species should be uplisted as a matter of urgency .

. it is confined to c . 20 small , rat - free offshore islands and islets , and to a few mainland areas ( < 10 % of total habitat ) , enclosed by sea - level glaciers , in which brown rat

the population has been estimated at 3000 - 4000 pairs , equivalent to 6 , 000 - 8 , 000 mature individuals and c . 9 , 000 - 12 , 000 individuals in total . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

. it feeds on insects in tussock habitat , and insects and crustaceans along tidelines ( j . p . croxall

. in typical habitat it is common and productive , but winter survival of juveniles is low . it has almost no natural predators , remains of birds very occasionally turning up at middens of brown skua

the projected continuing recession of glaciers at south georgia threaten its remaining mainland habitats with invasion by rats ( j . p . croxall

although precautions are taken to prevent the introduction of rats to several important sites , their remote location renders regulation of all visitors to all sites impossible in practice ( j . p . croxall

new zealand pipits are slender , small to medium - sized , long - tailed songbirds that are predominantly streaked grey - brown above and off - white below , with brown streaking on the breast . they have a prominent pale eyebrow stripe , and white outer tail feathers . their crown is streaked grey - brown , lacking any crest ( cf . skylark ) the bill is fine and dark , and the legs long , slender and pale brown . pipits are often confiding , allowing closer approach than most open country songbirds . they walk or run , characteristically flicking their tail up and down whenever they stop walking , or when perched .

voice : the main call given all year is a strident tzweep . song given in air with arched fluttering flight over home ranges . tswee call given from fence posts and on the ground when gathering large invertebrates to feed young on the nest .

similar species : skylarks are tawnier , more likely to fly when disturbed , are shorter legged , hop rather than walk , and have a small erectile crest on the back of the crown . female house sparrows and chaffinches have conical bills , and white wing - bars on the inner upperwing .

new zealand pipits are widespread in rough open habitats from the coastline to alpine shrublands at c . 1900 m . they are often seen along coastlines and rivers , in alpine areas in the south island , and coastal margins and alpine areas on stewart island . pipits are present within felled compartments of pine forests in the central north island , and around remaining wetlands in the central north island . they have declined in nearby subalpine habitats that have been taken over by heather . pipits are common in farmland and open shrublands on chatham and pitt islands , and in tussock grasslands and open habitats on the auckland island , campbell island and antipodes islands .

farmland population estimates for pipits were 0 . 37 pairs / per ha on chatham island , and 0 . 036 pairs / ha at waipu caves , whangarei .

new zealand pipits breed during august - march . the nest is a sizable cup of woven grass under tussocks and grass clumps within fern , and partly or fully covered with vegetation . clutch size is typically 2 - 4 ( average 3 ) eggs . both sexes feed young on the nest . incubation takes 14 - 16 days and chicks fledge at 14 days . adults land and take concealed routes to nests . chicks are noisy during and after feeding . chicks do not congregate after fledging , and parents and fledglings can end up hundreds of meters from nest sites . the number of clutches per annum is unknown .

pipits are approachable , often running a short distance in front of people , and walking , rather than flying away . some home ranges are occupied all year and others are deserted in the late summer . flocks of first - year pipits and adults are seen in areas where there was no breeding population . flock sizes are generally indicative of the population size . flocks of tens to hundreds of pipits fanned out either sides of moving locomotives before the volcanic plateau was converted from swamp and shrubland to farms and plantation forests .

pipits are omnivorous , consuming grains , seeds , and small invertebrates . flying invertebrates taken include flies , mayflies , small butterflies and cicadas . foraging methods adapt to the types of prey being targeted . they range from pecking at mat plants , to dashing along the ground and into short flights when after flies , to rising up into the wind over lakes to catch mayflies passing overhead .

nesting in the far north and on mountaintops , american pipits can be found throughout the continent during migration or winter . at those seasons they are usually in flocks , walking on shores or plowed fields , wagging their tails as they go . often they are detected first as they fly over high , giving sharp pi - pit calls .

some analyses of christmas bird counts have suggested declining numbers ; however , species is still widespread and common .

tundra , alpine slopes ; in migration and winter , plains , bare fields , shores . breeds on tundra , both in far north and in high mountains above treeline , in areas with very low growth such as sedges , grass , and dwarf willows . in migration and winter found on flat open ground such as plowed fields , short - grass prairie , mudflats , shores , river sandbars .
