Monitoring Passerine Birds in the Central Alaska Monitoring Network: 2013-2014 Summary Report for the Central Alaska Vital Signs Monitoring Program.

摘要

Passerine birds are one of the components of the National Park Service (NPS) Vital Signs Monitoring Program in the Central Alaska Network Monitoring Program (CAKN). Objectives of the CAKN passerine monitoring program include estimating the abundance of passerine birds and detecting trends in their abundance and presence over time. To meet the monitoring objectives of the CAKN passerine monitoring program, we implemented a monitoring design using temporal repeat surveys and occupancy modeling. Stage I includes conducting a series of repeat bird surveys on roadside bird survey routes. Stage II includes conducting a series of repeat bird surveys on selected minigrids and in other off-road areas.
