Supporting documents and datasets associated with implementation of the DOI Region 1 Landbird Monitoring Program. The goal of landbird monitoring is to track the status and trends of breeding landbirds within the dominant matrix forest habitat at each NETN, MIDN, and NCBN at which the protocol is being implemented. Breeding landbird monitoring will also support and inform management decisions that may affect avian populations. In developing comprehensive long-term monitoring plans, landbirds (a general term used to describe relatively small, terrestrial birds, excluding raptors and upland game birds) are among the best taxonomic groups to monitor because: 1) they are the most easily and inexpensively detected and identified vertebrate animals, 2) a single survey method is effective for many species, 3) accounting and managing for many species with different ecological requirements promotes conservation strategies at the landscape scale, 4) many reference datasets and standard methods are available, and 5) the response variables are fairly well understood. Developing a uniform protocol for monitoring landbirds across participating DOI Region 1 parks not only provides insight into the long-term trends of avian species composition and relative abundance, but will also provide a measure for assessing the ecological integrity of Northeastern forested ecosystems.
