| Notes | "An assessment of bird utilization patterns of the intertidal soft sediment and low marsh habitats of the Yaquina estuary, Oregon was conducted from December 2007-November 2008. . . Gulls and terns comprised 42% of the total birds and, together with ducks, shorebirds, corvids and geese, accounted for about 92% of the total abundance. The addition of herons/egrets, rails (i.e. coots), and pelicans/cormorants comprised just over 98% of all birds observed. The remaining birds consisted of songbirds, loons/grebes, raptors and alcids." (p.3) |
