An Inventory of Amphibians, Reptiles, Nonvolant Mammals, and Select Bird Species on Islands in Boston Harbor
Trocki CL, Talancy NW, Paton PW. 2007. An Inventory of Amphibians, Reptiles, Nonvolant Mammals, and Select Bird Species on Islands in Boston Harbor. NPS/NER/NRTR—2007/094. Boston Harbor National Historical Park
The primary objective of this inventory was to assist the NPS in their effort to document mammal, reptile, and amphibian species expected to be found on islands within BOHA. Due to logistical and budgetary constraints, and the lack of existing data relevant to the islands of Boston Harbor, this project was limited to islands isolated from the mainland, and did not include surveys on peninsulas on the mainland (e.g., World’s End, Deer Island).
