Erwin RM. 1979. Coastal Waterbird Colonies: Cape Elizabeth, Maine to Virginia. FWS/OBS-79/10. Fish & Wildlife Service. Washington, DC
Report on coastal waterbird colonies from Maine to Virginia. Part on Massachusetts birds was photocopied for vertical files. This report describes colony distribution, species abundance, historical trends, nesting chronology, and census techniques for 28 species of seabirds and wading birds from Cape Elizabeth, Maine to the Virginia-North Carolina border. A parallel report has been prepared for the rocky, island bound coastal region of Maine north of Cape Elizabeth (Korschgen 1979). The location and composition of all colony sites in 1977 are depicted in an atlas (Ervn'n and Korschgen 1979).
