Ten-year Population Trends of Land Birds on Three East Foundation Ranches in South Texas

Large ranches in South Texas, such as the ranches owned by the East Foundation, help preserve large continuous tracts of land, but few long-term non-game bird studies exist from the region. To address this gap, non-breeding and breeding bird surveys were conducted on East Foundation properties in South Texas annually from 2010 to 2020 to document species occurrence, richness, and abundance.
