		Initial measurements have been made of soil moisture, runoff, and soil water chemistry, although results are not yet available at the time of reporting.
		In December 2003 (prior to grass seeding) and November 2004, we collected 3 soil cores from each sampling site for a total of 294 cores to a depth of 15 cm.
		The surface soil cores were sectioned into 2 depth increments (0-7.5 and 7.5-15 cm) and soil was composited by depth increment prior to processing for biological and chemical analysis.

	The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds - Allan O. Hume - Ornithology - Ornithologists - Aves - Birding in India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The nests of this bird are composed of coarse grass, the inside being composed of the finer parts; they are 4 to 5 inches external diameter and 2½ inches internal diameter, the cavity being about 1½ inches deep.
		Although they nest in 'sone' grass which is rarely over three feet in height, it is very difficult to find the nest, as the grass generally overhangs and hides it.
		It was loosely woven with coarse and fine grass, and a little of the fibre of the "sun" (Crotalaria juncea), and very neatly felted on the whole interior surface of the lower two thirds with a compact coating of the down of flowering-grasses and little bits of spider's web.

	Blue-Winged Yellow Swamp-Warbler
		This pretty little Warbler is migratory, and arrives in Louisiana from the south in the beginning of spring.
		The species which now occupies our attention is a busy, active bird, and is seen diligently searching among the foliage and grasses for the small insects on which it feeds, mounting now and then towards the tops of the bushes, to utter a few weak notes, which are in no way interesting.
		Its nest, which is singularly constructed, and of an elongated inversely conical form, is attached to several stalks or blades of tall grass by its upper edge.

	Kirtland's Warbler : Land Management
		The warblers prefer to nest in forests that are about 80 acres (roughly 60 football fields) or larger with numerous small, grassy openings.
		Although Kirtland's warblers stop using a jack pine forest when the trees are about 20 years old, forest managers wait until the jack pine trees are 50 years old before they are cut down.
		Restoring the Kirtland's warbler to the point where it is no longer in danger of extinction is required by the Act.

	Augsburg College Biology - Photo of Month - May 2002
		Bay breasted warblers are not common in this area, being seen only when migrating through to or from their breeding grounds to the north.
		The 50 or so species of warblers that nest in North America, on the other hand, are specialists at gleaning insects from vegetation, constantly flitting from twig to twig or branch to branch in their search for insects, and occasionally even grabbing an insect or two out of the air.
		The sorts of insects warblers eat are not available in the winter in the North, so they fly south in the Fall to spend the winter in more suitable habitats in the southern states, the islands of the Caribbean, Central America, and even South America.

	Marsh warbler - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		Like other warblers it is highly active, searching its habitat of shrubs and dense vegetation for food.
		Although thought to have a secure population within Europe, the UK population of marsh warblers has fallen and is now of serious conservation concern.
		Such vegetation may be interspersed with reeds which are characteristic of the moist or seasonally flooded soils in neglected field corners.

	Kirtland's Warbler Fact Sheet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Except for singing males, most activities of the Kirtland's warbler are concentrated low in the pines or near or on the ground.
		The warbler parents do not recognize that a cowbird chick in its nest is not its own, and so will naively care for the cowbirds.
		The Kirtland's warbler recovery plan goal is to establish a self-sustaining population of 1,000 pairs of warblers throughout the bird's known habitats.

	DAS ONLINE: Grass Dale Wetland 2002 Summary Report
		Grass Dale is a unique area where at least six major habitats are found within a 100-yard radius.
		Given the safe dates and evidence of their presence on subsequent dates, we believe this sub-species is nesting at Grass Dale.
		The area surrounding the Grass Dale Center in Fort DuPont State Park, Delaware City, DE, was adopted because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Delaware's Division of Natural Resources and Environmental Control are planning projects that will modify and restore this degraded tidal marsh area to a wetland area of greater biodiversity.
