Forest and Beach Corvid Monitoring and Management Trail and Backcountry Management Plan Implementation 2010 Annual Progress Report
Bensen K. 2010. Forest and Beach Corvid Monitoring and Management Trail and Backcountry Management Plan Implementation 2010 Annual Progress Report
This report is divided into three interrelated sections concerning the monitoring and management of common ravens (Corvus corax), American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) and Steller’s jays (Cyanocitta stelleri) (collectively known as corvids) in Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP or parks). Section I covers forest and beach corvid monitoring results for 2007-2009. Section II describes corvid management activities that took place in RNSP in 2009. Section III reports on the progress of any projects that were described in the proposed action section of the RNSP Trail and Backcountry Management Plan biological assessment (Bensen 2006). This report also satisfies the reporting requirements stipulated under the terms and conditions of the RNSP Trail and Backcountry Management Plan biological opinion (USFWS 2007a). A comprehensive description of the purpose, policy, scientific background, management history, objectives and methods of corvid monitoring and management in RNSP is described in the park’s Corvid Management Strategy (RNSP 2008a).
