Bird distribution surveys at Carpinteria Salt Marsh, California USA, January 2012 to March 2013

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

We collected spatial data on birds as part of a broader effort to understand food webs in California Estuaries. The survey area was Carpinteria Salt Marsh, California USA, which comprises 9 Ha tidal channels, 2 Ha salt flats, 17 Ha upland habitat, 6 Ha tidal pans, 52 Ha vegetated marsh, and 2 Ha tidal flats. A fixed transect was walked and birds were mapped if they were in the intertidal habitat. We also included some species, like raptors, if they were perched in adjacent upland habitats, but potentially interact with the estuary. With GIS, these data can be used to evaluate bird distributions, by species, in space and time, in this habitat. There are two data files in this release (1) Bird distribution surveys at Carpinteria Salt Marsh, California USA, January 2012 to March 2013 is a list of locations (lat long) where birds were seen, organized by date and species; (2) Walking transect path for bird distribution surveys at Carpinteria Salt Marsh, California USA, January 2012 to March 2013 is a vector file showing the transect path from which we surveyed birds. The University of California, Santa Barbara Natural Reserve System provided access to the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve.
