Two critical long-term goals of the SFAN I&M Program are to: • integrate natural resource inventory and monitoring information into National Park Service planning, management, and decision making • share National Park Service accomplishments and information with other natural resource organizations and form partnerships for attaining common goals and objectives In order for the landbird monitoring program to meet I&M Program goals, a detailed management plan is needed to ensure data quality, interpretability, security, longevity and availability. This Standard Operating Procedure describes how the SFAN landbird monitoring protocol meets these data management objectives through data entry specifications, database design, quality assurance and control measures, metadata development, data maintenance, data storage and archiving, and data distribution. These procedures are explained for the two types of landbird data included in this monitoring plan that are collected by Point Blue Conservation Science (hereafter, Point Blue) for the SFAN: point count surveys and mist-netting.
