The goals of this study were to 1) document at least 90% of the extant breeding and migrant birds through visual and/or aural observations and to 2) provide baseline information and make recommendations as warranted, for developing future management plans for zoological resources within the Monument. Breeding bird and wintering bird inventories were conducted in 2003 and 2004 using point count surveys, area searches, and incidental sightings. A total of 152 avian species were documented at the Monument.
