Organochlorine residues and eggshell measurements for tree swallows Tachycineta bicolor in Colorado
This paper reports organochlorine (OCL) concentrations in breeding female tree swallows, nestlings, and eggs, and measurements of egg size and eggshell thickness. Our objective was to determine if higher concentrations of OCL chemicals were associated with adult mortality or nesting failure.

Effects of acidic precipitation on waterbirds in Maine
During 1982-84 waterbird use and numbers of waterbird broods were recorded for 29 wetlands on two study areas (25 and 77 km2) in east-central Maine underlain with bedrock having low, acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC). Twenty-nine wetlands over bedrock with high ANC (Class 3) and 31 wetlands over bedrock of low ANC (Class 1) were evaluated as predictors of wetland pH and alkalinity. Using the alkali

Growth and blood chemistry of ducklings reared on acidified wetlands
Acid deposition is one factor that may be responsible for the decline of some waterfowl populations. Growth and physiological condition were monitored in captive-reared black ducks (Anas rubripes) exposed for 10-day trials (day 11-20 of life) on control (pH 6.8) and acidified (pH 5.0) man-made emergent wetlands. Impaired growth (body weight, culmen and tarsus length) and increased mortality (50%

Tenth anniversary meeting keynote address
I consider it a privilege and pleasure to address this, the tenth meeting of the Pacific Seabird Group. I have divided my talk into three parts. In the first I will give details as to how and why the group was formed and tell you about some of those who played major roles in the formation. In the second part I will provide you with my impression of what PSG has done since the first meeting in 1974
