A survey of birds and pesticide use in orchards in the south Okanagan/Similkameen region of British Columbia, 1991 / Pamela H. Sinclair, John E. Elliott.: CW69-5/185E-PDF
"We studied birds' use of fruit orchards in relation to pesticide applications in the South Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, British Columbia, from May to August 1991. Preliminary assessment was made of the suitability of American Robin (Turdus migratorius) and California Quail (Callipepla californica) for monitoring effects of pesticides on birds. Abundance, diversity, activities, and breeding success of birds using orchard habitats were investigated using point counts and nest searches (all species), and radio-tracking (California Quail only)"--Abstract.
