This site could be included in the marsh type areas that are generally wet throughout the spring. Fence Row—The nests located in the cover along any fence line. Nest site preferences are summarized in Table 1. Table 2 summarizes the data on the specific plants that make up each cover type. In all cases the dominant plant in the immediate vicinity of the nest was taken as cover type. The high incidence of hardstem bulrush is due to the occurrence of this plant in the shallow sloughs and ditches that meander through some of the fields and pastures adjacent to the river (Figure 3). This type was highly sought after as nesting cover. The remainder of the cover types are more indicative of the actual cover on the islands and along the river banks. The stretches of river bordered by wet ]iastures. FIGURE 3. irrigated pasture showing a slough with hardstem bulrush along edges. Photograph by A. E.
