From 25 April through 30 October 1992, I conducted 14 waterbird and raptor censuses at Cabell Marsh. I observed 33 waterbird taxa and seven raptor species, including hatch-year individuals of five waterbird species. The records for each census are given.
I conducted 14-22 waterbird and raptor censuses each year from 1992-1995 during late April or early May through October. I observed 44 waterbird and 13 raptor species, including hatch year individuals of seven waterbird species. The records for each census are given.
Oregon State University’s recent response to the crisis in scholarly communications recognizes that teaching faculty must be involved in communicating an appropriate response to their faculty colleagues.

Measuring the effectiveness of library instruction poses many challenges, yet is essential to validating the time and energy dedicated to it. Over two years, how subject specific library instruction addressed the needs of the students, the instructor and the librarians was studied. Students were surveyed; librarians analyzed their research paper...
There were 21 days with observations during 30 January-21 May 1974. Herons were already displaying on January 30, so nesting activity can occur much earlier than has been supposed. A yearling was often seen at the nests, but most nesting activity was by adults. Although eggs were laid in at...
This compilation is meant only to be a guide because it is imperfect. I gathered these citations during a single search of the sources cited in section B; ideally, I would have gone through all those sources again to perhaps find records that I missed or to correct errors that...

The impetus for this Project began in 1968-1973 with birders at the Marine Science Center (MSC). But in the past 10 or so years the focus has shifted to a county group, Yaquina Birders & Naturalists. 120 individuals or couples have each contributed 100 or more records with 51% of...
The results of 703 observations are given; most of these were made in the 1930's by James Macnab, Jane Claire Dirks-Edmunds, Dorothy McKey-Fender, and others. These results are the most comprehensive throughout the year for any site above 1,000 ft in Lincoln County and hint that bird communities at sites...
This article includes 609 observations, 531 of which were by Llewellyn. This article is an amalgamation of incidental records for various specific and general areas.
Janet Lamberson noted the presence of birds around her home during 1985-1990. She noted 10-33 species each month, 48-57 species each year, and a total of 72 species overall. 63 species were terrestrial birds, most of which were observed in all six years of her observations.
The semimonthly occurrence for...
This is a continuation of Faxon and Bayer (1991), which summarized Faxon's 1973-1990 observations. In 1991, Faxon made observations during 168 days and recorded 111 species. Monthly frequencies of occurrence are given for each species.
Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) distribution was monitored and eelgrass beds (Zostera marina) were mapped during the spring migration of 1976. Brant used eelgrass areas significantly, and human disturbance and tide height were important factors influencing Brant distribution and activity.
