Coulter, M C

Our objectives in 1985 were to determine the location of foraging sites of Wood Storks from their Birdsville colony; to characterize the habitat, vegetation, water quality and prey density/biomass at these sites; to examine seasonal changes in prey density at foraging sites and to relate this to the stork use of the foraging sites; to observe the breeding birds to determine times when food demands at the colony are greatest; to determine the breeding success of the storks at the Birdsville rookery; to examine the movement of storks from the rookery to foraging sites; to continue to evaluate the importance of the SRSS to foraging Wood Storks; to examine the movements of individual birds to determine the generality of the observed patterns; and to compare the 1985 patterns with those observed in previous years.
