| Title: |
A Study of Riparian Breeding Birds on Streams
With and Without Anadromous Fish Runs |
| Abstract: |
This study is examining patterns of species richness and
density of breeding birds in riparinan habitats with and without salmon
runs. Preliminary results from point counts surveys suggest that avian density
(but not species richness) is 15-20% higher in riparian areas with streams
supporting salmon runs, compared to streams without salmon runs. |
