| Notes | This article gives the results of surveys of marbled murrelets on the central Oregon Coast from 1992 to 1999. “Population estimates of roughly 9,750 birds … in 1992-93 decreased to 4,100 … in 1997-99… Removal of nesting habitat during the 1980s, low overwinter survival and poor productivity associated with decreased marine productivity are possible factors contributing to the decline.” (from the Abstract) |
