Summary
Description
This paper reports a preliminary attempt to census fall water bird populations in Bristol Bay within the zone from high tide to the 12mile off shore limit. Aerial sampling techniques, originally designed for censusing breeding pairs of ducks in marshlands, were modified slightly for this survey. Results of our census provided positive information on these bird populations and indicated that, with further refinements, better information can be collected in the future.
