Pilot Landbird Monitoring at Grand Teton National Park, 2005-2008 - Data Package

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:09 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 31, 2024 at 12:00 AM
Landbird monitoring is a widely used monitoring type that can help land managers determine the habitat quality within the survey area. The Greater Yellowstone Network (GRYN) used landbird monitoring to determine the quality of select habitats within Grand Teton National Park (GRTE): High elevation/Alpine, aspen, riparian floodplain, riparian willow, and sage shrub steppe/sagebrush. Both point count and transect methods were employed to record the landbirds encountered along randomly-selected 2.1 km-long transects and 15 points within these habitats. In addition to habitat quality, the data found in these surveys can be used to determine the distribution and density of target landbird species, community dynamics, and habitat (vegetation) structure. The surveys that produced these data were performed in the months following the end of spring migration yearly, from 2005 to 2008.
