Habitat Features Influencing Waterbird Use of Managed Wetlands Enrolled in a Public-Private Partnership for Land Conservation: The California Waterfowl Habitat Program.

Shorebird density in late winter and early spring was 68% lower in wetlands with 1000 perch sites compared to wetlands with a single perch site (Figure 4C ), a decreasing trend similar to that observed in golf course ponds and impoundments in Florida (White and Main 2005 ) and may reflect shorebird avoidance of wetlands that can support and conceal aerial predators.
