Landbird Monitoring for the Northern Colorado Plateau Network, 2005-2023 - Data Package

Metadata Updated: November 25, 2025

The landbird monitoring protocol established by the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) keeps track of landbird populations in its park units to monitor ecosystem/habitat integrity, population declines of certain species of landbirds, and to contribute to regional bird monitoring efforts. Both a point-count and a transect count are done throughout the course of a survey. Observers stop at a designated point-count station for five minutes to record any birds seen within that interval. After the five minute interval, observers walk along the transect to the next point-count station, recording any birds they encounter along the way. The observed bird's species, the approximate distance and heading from the observer to the bird, and environmental conditions during the survey are recorded. This package contains datasets from surveys conducted in 11 park units within the NCPN from 2005-2023, and a separate dataset for monitoring at Pipe Spring National Monument (PISP) from 2009-2019.
