Abstract

The importance of quantitative studies (census, sampling and index) of bird colonies and communities is emphasized. This kind of information is needed in all programs of investigation and conservation. It is also important for detailed understanding of the dynamics of avian populations and bioenergetic interrelationships. The diverse censal methods were applied in the field in the following freshwater and marine habitats: 1) Freshwater bird communities (Laguna Blanca, Neuquén); 2) Patagonian seacoast (Península Valdés – Bahía Janssen – Bahía Bustamante, Chubut); 3) Oceanic and pelagic environment (Puerto Argentino – Puerto San Carlos, Islas Malvinas). The limitations of the different methods used by the author are discussed.
