The purpose of this study was to develop a plant
association classification for the mature coniferous
forests of the McDonald and Paul M. Dunn Research Forests.
A secondary objective was to quantify diversity within the
plant associations. This Forest is approximately 11,000
acres and is located 6 miles to the...
Breeding habitat of Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus
histrionicus) was studied in eastern Prince William Sound,
Alaska, during 1991 - 1993. Streams in Prince William
Sound were surveyed for Harlequin ducks and monitored with
mist nets. Physical characteristics of 24 Harlequin
breeding streams were compared to those of 24 streams not
used...
To quantify the distribution and abundance of the riparian-associated vertebrate community, I surveyed streams in four basins in the Oregon Coast Range, 1992-1994. I observed mostly birds with fewer observations of mammals. Belted Kingfishers (Ceryle alcyon), American Dippers (Cinclus mexicanus), Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and Mallards (Anus plalyrhynchos) comprised...
Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) have declined markedly
during the past several decades. Despite implementation of increasingly restrictive
hunting regulations, populations have shown minimal signs of recovery. I radio-marked
127 adult band-tailed pigeons in the central Oregon Coast Range in April-May of 1993-95
to document nesting chronology and productivity,...
