AVIAN INVENTORY PROGRAM

Gathering baseline information on existing biological resources is a critical step in the formulation of long-term monitoring strategies. To help decide how to best allocate scarce resouces to avian monitoring efforts, land managers often require detailed information about the current diversity, distribution, and abundance of birds that depend on the lands they manage. Accordingly, IBP has established its Avian Inventory Program, which assists biologists and land managers overseeing national parks and other public lands by designing and implementing scientifcally sound avian inventory projects.

To date our avian inventory efforts include projects at:

We have also collaborated with National Parks in the Pacific Northwest and the Sierra Nevada to develop and implement long-term bird monitoring protocols.

Our work involves collaborating with agency personnel on all aspects of inventory and monitoring projects, including:

  • study design
  • database design
  • data collection
  • data analysis
  • report writing
  • publication of results
  • review of existing programs

Public or private land managers interested in collaborating with IBP to develop or implement avian inventory or monitoring projects are invited to contact Rodney Siegel.
