[JGIOCOMO@xxxxxxx]

Jeff,

Have you seen "Saving Migrant Birds: Developing Strategies for the Future" by 
John Faaborg (2002, University of Texas Press).  It is a book basically 
answering why Partners in Flight was initiated.  Your concerns about the BBS 
data and some of the other data (radar, BBC, CBC, Banding Stations, Hawk 
Counts) are discussed in "layman's" terms.  There are also chapters about the 
current thinking on winter, migration and breeding habitat limitations.  It 
is a fairly short, highly informative book.  This may help.
