Note.--Coverage during the period was not comparable and the data were adjusted, 
using 1959 and 1955 4s base years. It was assumed that areas where comparable 
surveys were conducted provided an accurate measure of the percentage change be- 
tween 2 consecutive years. On this basis, population estimates were calculated 
backward and forward from the base years. The 1962 and 1963 figures are based 
upon only observed birds and are not adjusted.
