Status of the everglade kite in Florida--1968-1978 Status of the everglade kite in Florida--1968-1978
The population status of the Everglade Kite (Rostrhamus sociabils plumbeus) was studied in Florida from 1968 through 1978. Sixty-four nestlings (40% of known fledged young) were leg-banded with unique color combinations, and of these, 17.2% were seen 1 or more years after they were banded.

Effect of forest fragmentation on bird populations Effect of forest fragmentation on bird populations
Many of the insectivorous songbird species that winter in the tropics are dependent on large unbroken tracts of forest during the breeding season. These species are disappearing from localities where forests are becoming fragmented. By long-range planning, managers can prevent local extinctions of these area-sensitive birds through use of such techniques as management in large units...

Canada geese of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: family relationships, behavior and productivity Canada geese of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center: family relationships, behavior and productivity
Geese described are non-migratory, free-flying Todd's Canada geese (Branta canadensis interior). The genealogy of 261 of these geese was traced by archival research and three years of field observations. Nest locations and densities, preferences for various types of artificial nest structures, clutch sizes, hatching success, brood survival to flight stage, and food habits were recorded.
