Abstract

This report presents a general summary of breeding pair estimates for colonial waterbirds surveyed statewide in Texas during the 1986 breeding season. The main body of the report tabulates counts at 368 colony sites that were examined by ground visit or aerial survey during May and June 1986. The tabulations consist of names and other location information regarding the sites as well as longitude and latitude for the sites. This data is designed to show some comparative data which over a period of years may indicate species over areas that deserve more study.
