Notes:   Active sites for Vieillot's Black weaver were plentiful around the northern part of this island. Most sites had 2-4 bushes over water with 20-30+ active nests. Some sites were also being used by Village weavers, slender billed weavers, Northern brown throated and Golden-backed weavers and a few Grosbeak weavers. But VBW dominates most sites including sites with a few village mixed in. Many active bushes over water sites here. 100+ birds
