Ground counts were started on several new areas in 1955. There has 
been no previous census on these areas but the general population appeared to be 
above last year. Flocks of birds were not included in the counts on these areas, 
as they were quite common and appeared to be non-breeders. The areas listed 
in the following table will be counted again next year to establish trends in the 
breeding population of these sections.
