A mist-net study of migrating birds at Yellowknife, Northwest Territories : spring 1985 / Jacques Sirois ... [et al.].: CW69-5/33E-PDF
"A mist net study was undertaken from 2 May to 6 June 1985, to monitor the spring migration of birds at Yellowknife, NWT. Mist nets were erected for various periods at three locations: Niven Lake, Yellowknife River, and Willow Flats, near downtown Yellowknife. Most captured birds were identified, sexed (when possible), banded, and released. Three hundred and thirty-one birds, including 37 species, were mist-netted. Thirty-two (87%) species were passerines and five (13%) were shorebirds. and 23-29 May. Peaks in migratory activity were observed on 6, 15, and 23-29 May. These peaks did not appear to correspond with peaks in arrival observations of new revealed species. Banding results and incidental observations revealed that at least 130 species migrated through the Yellowknife area between 11 March and 6 June 1985"--Abstract, p. i.
