Raynor, G S

As part of a program to characterize the plant and animal life of the Laboratory site and the surrounding region, the two breeding bird censuses originated in 1977 were continued in 1982. Coverage was slightly above average at BNL and somewhat below at Westhampton. Seventeen trips were made to the BNL plot and eleven to the Westhampton plot. Six observers censused the BNL and five the Westhampton plot. The number of species and of territorial males on the BNL plot declined only slightly from 1981 and was near the five-year 1977-1981 average. At Westhampton, the number of Rufous-sided Towhees declined somewhat from 1981, but the number of Prairie Warblers increased so that the total number of territorial males was nearly the same. A six-year summary is included.
