Van Deusen, M; Otto, R G

The results of field surveys of the terrestrial vegetation, birds and mammals in the vicinity of the Delmarva Power and Light Company Vienna Steam Electric Station and proposed expansion area in Dorchester County, Maryland are presented. Four major habitats were identified: forest, oldfield, marsh and cultivated land. Qualitative surveys of flora and fauna were conducted to determine species present. Commercially important waterfowl, upland game birds and mammals and furbearers are discussed. The status of endangered or threatened plants (seaside alder), birds (bald eagle) and mammals (Delmarva fox squirrel) on the site is evaluated.
