This report was prepared by Messrs. D. W. Brown, W. E. Kenner, J. W. Crooks, and J. B. Foster, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District; U. S. Army, Corps of Engineers; and the Florida Geological Survey. This is a very timely study, since the development of adequate supplies of fresh water and the prevention and alleviation of flooding are the principal water problems in Brevard County. The rapid expansion of popu- lation and the development of new industries associated with the space effort have made large demands for increased supplies of fresh water, particularly in the Atlantic Coastal Ridge area on Merritt Island and in the barrier beach area.

  • Field Observations
    99 FIELD OBSERVATIONS Fla. Field Nat. 23(4):99-108, 1995. Spring Report: March-May 1995.—The observations listed here are based on rare or unusual species or signiÞcant numbers of birds reported to the Florida Ornithological Society (F.O.S.) Field Observations Committee (F.O.C.). As these reports are not formally reviewed, they may be considered tentative. SigniÞcant reports are welcomed for inclusion in future issues of this section. Reports should include the following information: species, number of individuals, age and sex of the bird(s), color morph if applicable, location (including county), date, observer(s), and signiÞcance of the report. Reporting periods are winter (December-February), spring (March-May), summer (June-July), and fall (August-November). Submit reports to re- gional compilers within 2 weeks after the close of each period, or to the state compiler within 1 month. Reports may be sent by FAX to the state compiler at (941) 699-1927. Following the examples set by Florida Bird Species: An Annotated List (Robertson and Woolfenden 1992, F.O.S. Spec. Publ. No. 6) and The Birdlife of Florida (Stevenson and Anderson 1994, Univ. Press of Florida), sight-only observations are considered “re- ports,” while only those supported by veriÞable evidence (photographs, video or audio tapes, or specimens) are called “records.” Bruce Anderson (in litt. July 1995) revised the list of birds for which the F.O.S. Records Committee requires documentation. These species are marked in this report with an asterisk (*) to alert the observers of their need to supply the F.O.S.R.C.
