Changes in Breeding Bird Populations in
North Dakota: 1967 to 1992-93
Acknowledgments
We are grateful to H. A. Kantrud, National Biological Service, for his advice
and guidance throughout all phases of this study. J. R. Sauer of the National
Biological Service and B. G. Peterjohn of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
supplied trends from the Breeding Bird Survey. This study would not have been
possible without the cooperation of the many land owners, operators, and managers
who allowed us to survey birds on their land. We thank C. J. Johnson and M.
D. Schwartz for assistance in the field. R. L. Hutto, H. A. Kantrud, T. E. Martin,
C. S. Robbins, P. F. Springer and three anonymous reviewers commented on earlier
drafts of this manuscript. This study was inspired by the innovative thoughts
and foresight of Robert E. Stewart (1913- 1993), whose scientific accomplishments
were innumerable; we dedicate this paper to his memory.
