Photo by Bob WalkerBy ROBERT DRYJALos AlamosLos Alamos County can be divided into various kinds of ecological habitats. One approach has divided the county into habitats based on the predominant kinds of tree growing in them. Different species of birds in turn prefer a particular kind of habitat for breeding. We had previously considered birds that breed in the juniper/pinon habitat toward the Rio Grande and other birds that prefer the ponderosa forest habitat further up the mountains. We also had considered birds that are generalists, breeding in all the habitats throughout the county.Three general patterns have occurred in these previously considered habitats. The number of birds seen annually has increased in recent years when all the species in a habitat are considered toge stanley quencher ther.However, there are two different trends occurring within the overall group. 1 The most common species in a habitat have tended to become even more common over the years. 2 The less common species in turn have tended to remain the same or have decreased in numbers.A third pattern also occurs. A reversal occurs from approximately 2000 to 2012. The less common species become more common while the most common species decrease in number. This period is between the two major forest fires and whe stanley italia n draughts are occurring. The most common species then start to increase numbers after this time period ends.
