The abundance and distribution of estuarine birds in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia / Edited by Robert W. Butler and Kees Vermeer. : CW69-1/83E
This publication provides information to assess the conservation significance of estuaries in the Strait of Georgia to waterbird populations on the Pacific coast. In addition, new information is provided on habitat requirements and population estimates of internationally significant populations of Trumpeter Swans Cygnus buccinator, Western Sandpipers Calidris mauri, and Dunlins C. alpina. Habitat use by waterbirds in one estuary and energy consumption by waterbirds at different trophic levels in six estuaries are described. We believe that the information will be useful for ornithologists and ecologists, as well as for coastal managers and members of conservation organizations.--Introduction
