During my first employment as a junior biologist conducting food habits analyses at the Patuxent Research Refuge (now Patuxent Wildlife Research Center) of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the first station director, Arnold L. Nelson, gave each staff biologist the opportunity to spend a little time conducting field studies on the 2,600-acre research area. These studies were to help in...

Winter distribution and oiling of common terns in Trinidad: A further look Winter distribution and oiling of common terns in Trinidad: A further look

Terns averaged 102 .+-. 0.9 g, with March birds weighing more than those caught in January. This weight is similar to that reported earlier by Blokpoel et al. (1982, 1984) and is considerably less than weights of...

The use of natural vs. man-modified wetlands by shorebirds and waterbirds The use of natural vs. man-modified wetlands by shorebirds and waterbirds
