Description: |
The Bird Damage Unit Records (NWRC 0010) document the activities of NWRC researchers from the early 1900s through the early 2000s as they worked to protect agricultural interests from bird depredations and disease, both domestically and abroad. The NWRC bird unit has worked with a diverse group of cooperators including airports, universities, farmers, feedlot operators, the U.S. military, and other associated researchers to effectively reduce bird damage to a variety of resources. The Bird Damage Unit Records consist of materials dated 1914 to 2008, with the bulk falling between 1960 and 1990.This collection features bird damage control research conducted by scientists at the NWRC and its predecessors. Research subjects include avian chemical control, repellents, bird-banding and tracking, bird-aircraft hazards, bird damage to food crops, non-lethal bird control, aquaculture, international bird studies, and a multi-year study at Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Also included are administrative records, manuscript reviews, meeting records, research highlights, trip reports, scientist files, unpublished reports and correspondence and memorandum. Material types include documents, lab journals, field diaries, news clippings, maps, raw data, computer print-outs, photographs, slides, reel-to-reel tapes, and other forms of audio recordings. |
