dataset_eml_abstractheader

    The primary goal is to conduct habitat-specific monitoring of forest interior breeding birds and to determine trends over time.

dataset_eml_methodsheader

  • dataset_eml_currentMethodsHeader
    • Bird counts
      • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-06-01
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Counts began shortly aftern dawn on days where weather conditions were unlikely to reduce count numbers (i.e., calm winds and very light or no rain).

    • Point count intervals
      • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1991-06-01
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Observers recorded all birds seen and heard during a 10-min sampling period, which was divided into 3 time intervals: 3, 2 and 5 minutes. Observers noted in which time interval each bird was first encountered, and placed birds into one of 2 distance categories (within or beyond 50 m).

    • Elevation-dependent sampling
      • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1999-05-01
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: The number of surveys at each site was dependent on elevation; montane fir-spruce sites were sampled once, LBWA and Underhill were sampled twice during the breeding season.
