Objectives
• Local, Regional, Continental comparisons– Species richness– Land coverage• Patterns
– Land use• East coast to interior Colorado
Yellow Warbler, Fishman Island, Virginia

Hypotheses
Continental:• The further East, the greater the species
richness of birds Regional• There will be a greater species richness in
birds where there is more waterLocal• There will be more species in forested areas.
Brown-Headed Cowbird Squaw Creek, Missouri

Conclusions
• Continental scale bird species increase closer to the coast
• Regional and local patterns show similar species richness
