AVIFAUNA OF THE PALOS VERDES PENINSULA, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

I dedicate this paper to Shirley Wells. Without her untiring efforts and constant encouragement I might never have completed the checklist. Shirley had been carefully compiling records of bird abundance on the peninsula for many years. Her records, combined with my own extensive card file, formed the heart of the list. Shirley’s enthusiasm and expertise inspired all of us who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
