USGA Summary Points: | Bird survey data has been collected monthly on five golf courses and five control areas in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area for a period of one year; surveys will continue for one more year. Vegetation data is currently being collected and will continue into the next study year. Preliminary analysis of results demonstrates that golf courses support a high number of unique species compared to the reference sites, and that most of the golf courses have greater numbers of birds and higher numbers of species than their paired reference sites. The golf courses differ significantly from one another in terms of bird species composition and abundance. We hypothesize that these differences will be correlated with differences between the courses in terms of vegetation structure and presence of water. Vegetation data will be available to test this hypothesis at the end of the next study year. |
