131 Appendix C. List of bird species observed at Saguaro National Park, Rincon Mountain District by UA inventory personnel (2001-2003) or by other survey efforts or lists. Marshall (1956; MA), Monson and Smith (1985; M&S), Freiderici (1998; FR), Boal and Mannan (1996; B&M), Short (1996; SH), Powell (1999; P99), and Powell (2004; P04). See text for descriptions of UA survey types. Underlined species (scientific names) are neotropical migrants (Rappole 1995) and species in bold-faced type are non-native. Underlined “X” or number in UA incidental column indicates evidence of breeding was observed during that study (see Table 5.8 for breeding observations by UA personnel).
