ERMN Inventory Grassland Bird Habitat (2002-2003) DEWA
Master T. ERMN Inventory Grassland Bird Habitat (2002-2003) DEWA. 2002-2006. National Park Service
A two-year survey of the early successional habitat avian community was conducted during the breeding seasons of 2002 and 2003 in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Bird species richness, diversity, density, detection rates, and occurrence were determined and compared between years, among fields, and with vegetative parameters to elucidate the distribution and abundance of birds characteristic of open field habitats within the park. This information was used to develop management suggestions regarding the enhancement of habitat for these species.
