Vocalization activity of breeding shorebirds: documentation of its seasonal decline and applications for breeding bird surveys
We documented vocalization activity of breeding shorebirds at two sites in northern and western Alaska, on the Colville River Delta and on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta. At both sites, number of calling individuals decreased throughout the season. Variation in vocalization activity was significantly h...
