Summary
Abstract: Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), a native of Eurasia, is an introduced
perennial plant in North American wetlands that displaces other wetland plants.
Although not well studied, purple loosestrife is widely believed to have little
value as habitat for birds. To examine the value of purple loosestrife as
avian breeding habitat, we conducted early, mid-, and late season bird surveys

Quality Standard errors reported are for least-square means (SAS
1990). Because multiple comparison of means with heterogenous
variances may be misleading (Sokal and Rohlf 1981), we further
examined comparisons of non-zero means to means of zero using
confidence intervals. For each mean of zero, we constructed a 90%
