Contaminants in foods of aquatic birds at Kesterson Reservoir, California, 1985 Contaminants in foods of aquatic birds at Kesterson Reservoir, California, 1985
Plants, aquatic insects, and mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) were collected from Kesterson Reservoir, Merced County, California, and a nearby reference site (Volta Wildlife Area) to compare concentrations of three contaminants found in 1985 with those reported in 1983 and 1984. Mean selenium concentrations in food-chain organisms from sites at Kesterson in 1985 ranged from 26.0 μg/g (dry...

Recruitment failure in American avocets and black-necked stilts nesting at Kesterson Reservoir, California, 1984-1985 Recruitment failure in American avocets and black-necked stilts nesting at Kesterson Reservoir, California, 1984-1985
We evaluated recruitment by American Avocets (Recurvirostra americana) and Black-necked Stilts (Himantopus mexicanus) in 1984 and 1985 at the selenium-contaminated Kesterson Reservoir and at a nearby reference site, the Volta Wildlife Area, both in western Merced County, California. Nests were monitored to determine their outcomes, including hatching success, and broods were censused...

Body composition and weight dynamics of wintering greater white-fronted geese Body composition and weight dynamics of wintering greater white-fronted geese
Adult greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons frontalis) wintering in southern Oregon and California increased or maintained body weight in autumn, lost weight from autumn through winter, and rapidly increased in weight before spring migration in late April. We documented significant annual differences in body weights for both sexes. We related seasonal changes in body weight to...
