In this experiment, avifauna of the transformed Costa Rican premontane moist forest was censused using fixedradius point counts within three habitats. Species abundance for all observed birds was calculated based on these observations. Study sites included pasture and fragmented secondary forest. Species abundance was compared to previous values known for the area from a 1993 study. For the 51 species observed in the area, 31 showed frequency changes. Twenty-six of the 31 were negative declines, and five showed positive increases in population. Four species declined from common to rare, three species declined from fairly common to rare and two new species were added that were not in the previous study. Almost all birds that declined relied...
