Balda RP. 1969. Foliage Use by Birds of the Oak-Juniper Woodland and Ponderosa Pine Forest in Southeastern Arizona. The Condor. 71(4):399-412
The object of this study is to depict the height distribution and volume of foliage in two different plant communities and to show how the total avifauna utilizes this dimension of their habitat during the breeding season. When possible, foliage use by individual bird species is discussed to show their contribution to the overall pattern of use.
