Abstract

The documents relate to James Lynch's study of birds at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (Maryland) as part of the Winter Bird Count in 1990. Information is recorded on preprinted maps entitled "SERC Bird Census Plot." There is a symbol key for hectare grid post, boundary post, and 50m flagging point. Pages are headed with date and range of time. Maps are heavily annotated with type of bird observed (entered as abbreviations), and notes for any additional symbols used by observers.
