Bird Populations

The effects of human activities on shorebirds migrating through Raritan and Delaware Bays (New Jersey, USA) were examined from late April to late October 1982. Less than 5% of the 471,055 shorebirds counted in the censuses were in Raritan Bay, and only eight species accounted for 95% of the total. Bird populations peaked during late May to early June, and had a secondary peak in early August. People walking accounted for 43% (Raritan Bay) and 50% (Delaware Bay) of the disturbances. Other disturbances, in descending order of abundance, were of fishermen, airplanes, dogs, clam-diggers, off-road vehicles, boats, children, and joggers.

Laughing Gulls

The distribution and abundance of gulls were examined on Raritan and Delaware Bays from 20 April to 26 October 1982. Gull numbers were affected by seasonal, tidal, weather-related, and human disturbance, factors on both Bays. Gulls comprised from about 40 to 60% of the avifauna on the census areas, and shorebirds accounted for most of the other individuals. Peak numbers of gulls were present on Delaware Bay from May through July, and on Raritan Bay in September. Laughing Gulls (Larus atricilla) were the dominant species on both Raritan (90%) and Delaware (70%) Bays, with Herring Gulls (L. argentatus) second in abundance.
