f Adapted from Salt (1953, 1957) and Orians (1969): AI, aerial insectivore; PV,
 predator on vertebrates; PI, predator on invertebrates; FN, foliage feeding on
 nectar; FI, foliage feeding on insects and spiders; FF, foliage feeding on fruits
 (and/or seeds); TPI, timber probing for insects; TV, timber gleaning for verte-
 brates; GV, ground feeding on vertebrates; GI, ground feeding on insects and
 spiders; GO, ground feeding on other invertebrates (crustacea, mollusks); GS,
 ground feeding on seeds. When two or more feeding ecologies are given for a
 bird, the predominant type is listed first.
SScored by conversion of U (uncommon)= 1, FC (fairly common)=2, C (com-
 mon) =3, VC (very common)=4. See individual census tables for each habitat
 concerned.
 Seven habitats available during breeding season.
