State Natural Area Breeding Bird Surveys
1990-2007
The following tables summarize data from breeding bird surveys conducted by volunteers on State Natural Areas during 1990-2007. Survey methods were not standardized so methods vary among volunteers. Some natural areas were surveyed repeatedly by one observer using the same method each year while others were surveyed less frequently by several observers using different methods.
