Forest Survey data were used to assess nongame bird habitat potential based on 

 food and shelter requirements on 24 plots. These assessments were then evaluated 

 using bird numbers. Results of the analyses showed some correlation of bird numbers 

 with tree canopy variables, and illustrate the potential for using Forest Survey data for 

 wildlife habitat assessment.
