Book Description
Excerpt from Coastal Waterbird Colonies: Maine Surveys were flown each spring in fixed-wing aircraft to locate colonies and to estimate populations of those species that are highly visible. Later each colony site was visited by boat to determine species composition and to estimate populations more accurately. Total nest counts, counts of breeding adults, partial nest counts, and estimates of adults were felt to be the most reliable inventory methods, in that order. A total of 353 colony sites was found with an estimated population of breeding pairs. Nineteen species of sea and wading birds frequently nested at sites containing several species. As many as nine species sometimes nested at such a site. The most abundant nesting species on the coast was the herring gull, followed in order of abun dance by common eider, Leach's storm-petrel, double-crested cormorant, great black-backed gull, 4 species of terns, 3 species of alcids, and 3 species of herons. More than 220 colonies of herring and great black-backed gulls and common eiders were located on the study area. Species with estimated total populations of less than 150 pairs nested in only a few scattered colonies along the Maine coast. Population estimates for all colonies of each species are listed. Nearly 75 percent of the birds nested at sites that were pri vately owned. Diagrams depict the generalized nesting chronology for each species.
