Northern Colorado Plateau Network Landbird Monitoring

Perkins D. Northern Colorado Plateau Network Landbird Monitoring. 2005. National Park Service

The Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) is partnering with the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) to assess breeding-bird species trends in three different habitats: low-elevation riparian, pinyon-juniper, and sagebrush-shrubland. NCPN survey plots will contribute to the RMBO’s broader, landscape-scale breeding-bird monitoring program, which includes more than 1,000 plots in 11 states in the Rocky Mountains and Colorado Plateau. Twice during each breeding season, RMBO surveys 15 transects in each of the three habitats of interest across 11 NCPN parks. Point counts are also conducted as part of a modified monitoring design at Pipe Spring National Monument.
