Bird counts in lowland forests in the western Paparoas

Notornis, 27 (4), 335-362

D.J. Onley (1980)

Article Type: Paper

Birds were counted in four forest areas and an area of cutover forest in early summer. Marked differences in species composition and numbers counted were found. The role of soil fertility and vegetation in determining differences is discussed. Some observations on seasonal movements are given and a comparison is made with counts made at Reefton. The implications of these findings for reserves in Westland forests is discussed.
