Description: Birds were censused concomitant with revegetation efforts on the Kern River Nature Conservancy Preserve during spring and summer 1987. Three types of sites were surveyed: naturally occurring cottonwood (Populus fremontii)-willow (Salix spp.) habitats, one 10-ha revegetation site implemented in 1986, and two 10-ha revegetation sites implemented in 1987. Six natural-history criteria were used to compare bird species found in naturally occurring habitat with species found in recently revegetated habitat. These data are extremely useful in discerning species responses to revegetation across sera] stages of vegetation development.
