Table A2. List of waterbirds associated with wetlands that have been recorded in Victoria, the types of wetlands in which they occur, status of occurrence and conservation listing in Victoria. Movement patterns associated with breeding, feeding and moulting are also listed. Pelagic seabirds, vagrants and land birds using saltmarsh are excluded from this list. Species are grouped by taxon number according to Christidis and Boles (2007). This table was compiled by R. Loyn, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research, Department of Sustainability and Environment.
CL = conservation listing; MB = movements between breeding and non-breeding habitat; MF = movements between feeding, roosting and moulting habitats. See key on page 52.
