Acknowledgments
I thank Arthur Borror, Paul Cavanagh, Jennifer Megyesi, Ian Nisbet, Ray Pierotti, Jason Johnston, Maggie Teets, and the late William Drury for communicating unpublished results. Unpublished Breeding Bird Atlas data from Virginia were provided by L. Sausville, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Unpublished data were collected by TPG from 1989 to 1993 with support from the University of New Hampshire, Sigma Xi—the Scientific Research Society, the Frank B. Chapman Fund of the American Museum of Natural History, and Shoals Marine Laboratory. I dedicate this manuscript to the memory of William H. Drury.
