["Peter Doherty" <leasttern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the accurate measurement of number and species killed by collision with a 
man-made, man-sited obstruction, the work of Herbert Stoddard at Tall 
Timbers, FL in connection with the TV antenna near the research station is 
essential reading.  Only after Mr. Stoddard carefully mowed the entire area 
within the "drop zone" AND "controlled" scavengers large in number and of 
great variety, did the true carnage by species, number and time of year come 
to light.  Stoddard's early work and a follow-up by Todd Engstrom after the 
height of the tower was lowered were published in various ornithology 
journals.  Peter Doherty
