As
a part of the Furman Forest initiative, Furman University faculty and
students are conducting surveys of various taxonomic groups. This survey
began in 2005 with permission of The Nature Conservancy. As surveys
progress, we will activate the links for surveyed groups. Through this
research, we hope to catalog the species that are present and track
changes in populations of special concern. Birds were surveyed from
June-August, 2011, by Megan Aprill (right)and Tara Smith (left) - Biology
majors at Furman University - class of 2012. Most identifications were
made from vocalizations. Most time was spent in woodland habitats; waterbird
observations were largely in passing. Photographs were taken at Furman
University by Jeff O'Connell, class of 2009. Scroll over the names to
see pictures of the species. |
