It was fruit that I had collected more than 20 years ago, as part of my dissertation research, which was to study the mineralisation processes within the hackberry (
Celtis occidentalis) seed.
A census of all trees with a dbh [greater than or equal to] 20 cm revealed that the floodplain woodland is dominated by woody species commonly characteristic of this habitat, e.g., Acer negundo, Popuius deltoides, Acer succharinum, Platanus occidentalis, Juglans nigra, Aescuius glabra,
Celtis occidentalis, and Ulmus americana.
There have been a few records of the blue-gray gnatcatcher breeding in eastern and southeastern Nebraska since the 1960s (Ducey, 1988), but records have been restricted to mature-riparian hardwood forests dominated by bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa), cottonwoods (Populus deltoides), green ashes (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and hackberries (
Celtis occidentalis; Mollhoff, 2001).
We grouped the most common tree species into the following categories (Table 1): black gum (Nyssa sylvatica var sylvatica), eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), hackberry (
