Birds and Aircraft on Midway Islands, 1956-57 Investigations

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which certain species of birds contribute to the hazard to aircraft at Midway; to learn more about the population dynamics and habits of these species to determine what type of control measures might be possible without endangering the species; and to test methods of control which are suggested. Most of the study has been devoted to the two species of albatrosses and the sooty terns nesting at Midway because of the current belief that these species offered the greatest danger to aircraft safety.

Removal and repopulation of breeding birds in a spruce-fir forest community

IN 1949, while engaged in population studies of birds in northern Maine, the authors accumulated considerable information concerning population dynamics of birds inhabiting the Spruce-Fir forest community. This information was obtained in connection with investigations of the effective control by breeding birds of an infestation of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.
