Bird and Spatial Datasets

This page is under development to provide downloadable MAPS and other bird data and spatial datasets from the GIS-based projects used to construct the species-landscape models and subsequent decision support tools.

The locations of the MAPS stations on DoD installations, proprietary MAPS bird data, and National Land Cover Datasets land cover rasters used in the project are only available to DoD employers and contractors from:

Phil Nott at IBP, PO Box 1346, Point Reyes Station, CA 94956. (Tel: 415 663 2050, EMail: pnott@birdpop.org)

We provide the results of spatial analyses of National Land Cover Datasets (1992 and 2001 and differences) for multiple radii surrounding each of 48 DoD MAPS stations. This allows the allows the operator to extract spatial statistics given certain criteria and calculate the means (mean state of the landscape over ten year period) or differences (cover change) between the two NLCD years http://birdpop.net/frag_anal/

The Breeding Bird Survey permits the calculation of BBS population trends for numerous states and regions to help the user identify declining species. IBP developed a "scraper" for this page which allows you to create a table of trends for multiple regions and species over a given time frame within the period 1966-2006. http://www.birdpop.net/scripts/trend07.php
