Abstract
Point counts of wintering land birds using Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) stands were conducted in 2000 and 2005 on the Snake River Plain, Idaho. The 14 most common species of the 28 recorded were found in both years, and most common species were recorded with similar frequencies between years. Thirteen bird species were observed foraging on Russian Olive fruits. Increases in recent decades in both area occupied by Russian Olive and in counts of Yellow-rumped Warblers (Setophaga coronata) and American Robins (Turdus migratorius) on Christmas Bird Counts suggest that there may be a relationship between Russian Olive expansion and abundance of these species.
