* NOTE: Excepting the last column, the numbers in this table in no way reflect the actual
number of birds recorded. Instead they suggest the relative abundance within
a species seen from section to section regardless of the order of magnitude.
# The sections used in this table are the same as for table 2. (see map 2)
+ Indicates species present in very low numbers compared to other areas. In areas where
none were seen a "0" was recorded.
