In 2008, the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) continued implementing bird and habitat monitoring efforts in southwest Oregon and northern California. These Oregon-Washington and California Partners in Flight (PIF) efforts represent collaboration between KBO and the US Forest Service Redwood Sciences Laboratory to maintain the Klamath Bird Monitoring Network. As part of this Network we maintain long-term efforts to track population trends and demographics at constant effort mist netting stations, breeding bird survey routes and extensive point count and area search routes throughout the bioregion. Our 2008 effort represents an extensive partnership involving many cooperators including: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife; American Bird Conservancy; Southern Oregon University; Bureau of Land Management Oregon State Office and Medford and Lakeview Districts; National Park Service Klamath Network; Rogue-Siskiyou and Fremont-Winema National Forests; Bureau of Reclamation; Klamath National Wildlife Refuge; United States Geological Survey; Joint Fire Sciences Program; Jackson and Klamath counties, Oregon; Ashland Public Schools; City of Ashland; Rogue Valley Audubon Society; National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and others. This report summarizes KBO’s point count and area search survey efforts. The objectives of our extensive point count and area search program are to: (1) maintain a long-term monitoring effort for tracking landbird population trends; (2) evaluate the population health of Neotropical migratory and resident birds; (3) study bird and habitat relationships to better understand the ecological effect of land management and restoration; (4) investigate the ecological effects of wildfire and fuels treatments; and (5) use science to link PIF conservation objectives with priority land management issues.
