Furbish C. 2020. Bird Use Survey of a Small Bottomland Wooded Habitat in the Dyea Management Unit of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. National Park Service. Skagway, Alaska
Bird use was described within a small bottomland tract adjacent to the Taiya River in Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park during spring and early summer, 2020. Data were primarily collected through a "dawn chorus" survey which targeted breeding songbirds. Forty-six (46) species were observed using the survey site. No federal or state threatened or endangered birds were found. However, 29 species had some level of conservation concern with the State of Alaska and/or bird conservation organizations. One bird, the Chestnut-backed Chickadee, was identified as under threat due to overall high vulnerability for population decline by Partners in Flight, a coalition of 150 government agencies and non-government organizations.
