Neotropical migrant landbird monitoring program for Maine and New Brunswick: assessing coastal importance and management strategies
Famous N. Neotropical migrant landbird monitoring program for Maine and New Brunswick: assessing coastal importance and management strategies
From Project Summary: "Populations of many Neotropical migrant landbirds and shorebirds have shown both long and short-term declines in the Northeastern U.S. and adjacent Canada. The causes of these declines are not entirely understood and vary among species. A cooperative initiative linking Federal and Provincial agencies, private landowners, conservation organizations, industry and field ornithologists was implemented in 1993 to monitor breeding and migratory populations in structurally stable boreal forests, pine-spruce woodlands, bogs, and fens in the Bay of Fundy ecological zone in Maine and coastal New Brunswick as well as the Acadian Peninsula in NW New Brunswick. Careful selection of monitoring sites and control of observer expertise are being exercised. Most sites are relatively free from future habitat fragmentation, large changes in habitat structure, human disturbances, and insect infestations."
