The Middle Fly waterbird survey 1994-95

Abstract

Ok Tedi Mining Limited commissioned waterbird surveys of the grassed floodplain of the Middle Fly River during both wet and dry seasons, as a part of its program to document the biology of the Fly River ecosystem and to expand the range of organisms monitored. These surveys were made at the end of the dry season (2-7 December 1994) when birds were concentrated at ox-bows and lakes, and near the end of the wet season (25-30 April 1995) when most of the floodplain was inundated
