Areas which are at present alienated but which a
few of the species might inhabit if its numbers
greatly increased but such areas in course of
time may disappear.
Areas at present uninhabited by the species but
capable of carrying a considerable number of the
species. These areas for various reasons are not
liable to be decreased to any great extent and
will probably remain as permanent areas of possi-
ble habitat to the species as numbers increase.
Areas entirely and permanently alienated from the
species and never likely to be inhabited by the
race because of lack of food and cover and too
wide a difference to enable the species to adapt
itself to such unsuitable surroundings.
Areas in red: Even should the species so increase
in numbers as to be forced out into such areas I
doubt the few birds which could find food in the
area would long survive natural enemies (hawks,
etc.) because of lack of cover, etc. in which to
escape as it is a slow flying rather clumsy
species in the open and appears very unhappy in
such surroundings.
