Abstract
This project is an attempt to investigate and describe
certain natural phenomenon associated with nesting avian
populations in and around a 20-acre marsh. It investigates
the hypothesis that certain avian species are found in a
particular marsh habitat due to its particular environmental
conditions, such as its vegetational make-up and stage in
ecological succession. This is accomplished by attempting
to: 1) identify which species were nesting in the study
area and discover certain aspects of their breeding such
as nest height and diameter; 2) discover. which avian species
used the area during the nesting season; 3) relate the vegetation
of the marsh to the species nesting in it.
