Title: Historical Winter Status of Three Upland Ammodramus Sparrows in South Carolina

Journal Article · · Studies in Avian Biology
OSTI ID:807795

The wintering status of three upland sparrows were compared based upon collections. LeConte's sparrow was previously abundant during incursion years, but was less common on the coast. LeConte's and Henslow's were much more abundant 75-115 years ago. The later may result from breeding range reductions and habitat loss. The study demonstrates the usefulness of historical data.
