| USGA Summary Points: | 2,928 surveys of 183 golf course lakes on 12 golf courses were conducted in southwest Florida during January-May in 2001 and 2002. Surveys averaged 3.3 (2001) and 3.9 (2002) waterbirds per lake. Thirty species of waterbirds were recorded in 2001, and 40 species were recorded in 2002. Observations during the two-year study included a total of 12 species of short- and long-legged wadng birds, 14 species of ducks and duck-like birds including diving, fish-eating birds, seven species of seasonal shorebirds, one species of seasonal kingfishers, six species of sea birds, and two species of birds of prey. The most abundant birds recorded during both study years were diving, fish-eating species, such as Cormorants and Anhingas. These data indicated ample food resources were avaialble to attract and retain fish-eating species. Recommendations concerning the construction and management of golf course lakes to increase their habitat value to waterbirds will be included in the final report. |
