Of course it would. Those data were not available to me, so I just used the
square kilometres for a rough idea.

<div>Hi all:</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; Since kingfisher nesting and foraging habitat, i.e. the&nbsp;edges of streams and lakes, is highly linear, wouldn&#39;t it be more useful to measure this species&#39; density or population in individuals per km and not per square km?

<div>Actually, that&#39;s only 1 kingfisher for every 3.3 square kilometres of NS, or one pair per 6.6 square kilometres. Now I realize that there&#39;s a lot of unsuitable kingfisher habitat, but as a gut feeling, I wouldn&#39;t say that number is exhorbitantly high. But I&#39;m no kingfisher expert...this is just a gut feeling. I do think it&#39;s high, but not a lot.
