Notornis, 22 (2), 122-130
Article Type: Paper
This series attempts to condense observations made over seventeen years in areas being milled west of Taupo from 1944 to 1946 and in the south-west Urewera from 1946 to 1961. Daily counts were made of all birds seen and compiled into monthly charts. Estimates were made of birds heard only and notes kept of locality, weather and temperature, with sundry notes on song, calls, foods, breeding and behaviour. The files of charts are to be deposited in the library of the Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc., Auckland Institute & Museum. For each species there is given an account of general observations and, where significant, a breakdown of figures from the monthly charts. Part A deals with bellbird and tui.
