Breeding landbird monitoring data package for MIDN, NCBN, NETN
This data package is a product of three Inventory and Monitoring Division (IMD) networks of the National Park Service (NPS): the Mid-Atlantic Network (MIDN), Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN), and the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN). This data package contains a single, cumulative dataset of bird observations collected during 10-minute unlimited radius point count surveys conducted at national parks in MIDN, NCBN, NETN.
The purpose of the MIDN, NCBN, NETN Breeding Landbird Monitoring programs are to collect and analyze data and report information that will help national park managers assess the condition of the breeding bird community and habitats they use. Specific objectives include:
1. Estimate status and long-term trends in species composition, occupancy, and indices of abundance for breeding bird populations within participating parks.
2. Estimate status and trends in measures of biotic integrity (Bird Community Indices) of breeding bird communities within participating parks.
3. Evaluate changes in bird populations in forest and grassland habitats relative to park management regimes.
Data collected as part of this protocol are published annually as a cumulative data package. Reporting on these data occurs at regular intervals to enable park staff to incorporate results into park management. The latest versions of all available protocol documentation, data packages, and summary reports can be accessed online via the NPS’s DataStore application (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2303618).
