Private uses of game and nongame wild- 
life are described, and the history of 
management of nonhunting wildlife use 
js discussed. Efforts required in 
regulation and enforcement of private 
use management are considered.

173-185. 
Studies of osprey ecology in southern 
Connecticut revealed factors in the 
mortality of eggs and nestlings. Pre- 
vention of incubation due to human 
presence was common but the effects 
were not known. Incidents of distur- 
bance by picnickers and boaters are 
mentioned, as well as accounts of re- 
moval of young by humans. No evidence 
of human-induced predation on osprey 
nests was found.

The impact of the investigators on 
black bear activities appeared to be 
negligible. Instrumented bears often 
withdrew from observers, but human- 
induced alterations of their behavior 
appeared to be short-lived,

jmplications. 
Studies of brown pelicans and Heer~ 
mann's gulls indicated that distur- 
bances by recreationists, educational 
groups, and scientists could seriously 
disrupt seabird breeding on the coast 
of Baja California. Human distur- 
bances lead to inter- and jintra-speci- 
fic behavioral imbalances in seabirds. 
Methods for minimizing disturbances 
are discussed.

The role of the National Audubon Soci- 
ety in the protection and management 
of wading birds is discussed, with 
emphasis on the Texas Gulf Coast. 
Among problems facing wading birds is 
human disturbance, especially during 
the nesting season. Sport fishing and 
boating are increasingly popular in 
coastal waterways where many colonial 
waterbirds nest.
