Survey of the Avifauna of Myall Lakes, NSW: Report of the 1972 RAOU Field-outing

Abstract

The 1972 Field-outing of the RAOU was held at Myall Lakes, NSW. The district was selected because of its scientific interest and importance to conservation. During the Outing, a survey of the avifauna was conducted. Fifty point-censuses were available for analysis by similarity, which identified the major avian habitats of the area. The results of the analysis are discussed, major habitats and major features of the avifauna described and recommendations for conservation given. A checklist of the birds is included in an appendix.
