Redwood Sciences Laboratory Klamath Bird Observatory Unknown database http://fsweb.rsl.psw.fs.fed.us/index.shtml http://www.klamathbird.org The Klamath Bird Observatory and U.S. Forest Service's Redwood Sciences Laboratory coordinate the Klamath Bird Monitoring Network, a comprehensive bird-monitoring network in southern Oregon and northern California (Alexander et al. 1994). The Network integrates bird conservation objectives into the ecosystem management process by incorporating academic, scientific, management, and conservation interests to inform the management and conservation process with science. These data result from Constant Effort Mist Netting, Rapid Ornithological Inventory, and special species monitoring efforts. Banding data are unique in that they result from collecting a variety of metrics from individually captured birds. In many cases it is possible to record information (e.g., age, sex, and other metrics about the individual status of each captured bird) that can not be obtained by simply observing birds through standard counting methods. With a bird in hand it is possible to verify breeding status and determine, for migrant species, if individuals are local breeders. Mist nets also capture cryptic species that often are missed in other sampling methodologies. It is our goal to use banding data to shed light on the dynamics of bird populations and the nature of the effect of habitat changes on these dynamics. The objectives of the banding programs that resulted in these data are to collect information that provide an index to species diversity and abundance in riparian and upland habitats, to evaluate the reproductive success, survivorship, and population health of Neotropical migratory and resident birds, to maintain a long-term monitoring effort for tracking landbird population trends, and to test methods for effectively monitoring special species. 19920512 2008 ground condition In work Annually Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion of southern Oregon and northern California. -124.2056 -121.469 42.58657 38.86607 None monitoring bird conservation bird populations population trends habitat changes Partners in Flight None United States USA U.S. Oregon OR California CA Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion None multiple species birds landbirds American Ornithologists' Union 1998 Seventh book http://www.aou.org/checklist/index.php3 The check-list is revised and updated on an annual basis by the American Ornithologists' Union.

Observers have pre-existing knowledge of bird identification or they use published field guides and/or banding guides. The methods used gather distribution, abundance, and/or demographic information for many species, including those identified as priority or focal species by PIF in continental and regional habitat conservation plans (Altman 1999, 2000, CalPIF 2002, RHJV 2004, Rich et al. 2004).

Jules (Eds.), Proceedings of the Second Conference on Klamath - Siskiyou Ecology. Banding is usually done by North American Banding Council-certified banders. These banders must first learn the appropriate bird-handling and data recording procedures, and pass proficiency tests that ensure the quality of the data as well as the ethical manipulation of birds. not applicable Field None constant-effort station mist netting bird banding Bird banding is done using standard protocols (Ralph et al. 1993). All birds captured are affixed a band that contains a unique number. Bands are issued by the Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) of the United States Geological Survey; every band deployed on a bird is then reported back to the BBL to allow for the recording and validation of bird recaptures and band recoveries via this central repository. Monitoring at Constant-Effort Stations (CES) Long-term mist netting efforts are designed to provide distribution, abundance, and demographic information. The methods are described in Ralph et al. (1993, 2004) and include mist net arrays, banding, area search and point count survey, vegetation survey, and soft tissue sampling (for DNA, stable isotope study, and avian influenza monitoring). These methods are consistent with recommendations of the PIF Inventory and Monitoring Working Group (Hussell and Ralph 1998). We conduct integrated bird monitoring accordant to constant-effort station (CES) methodology at many locations in the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion. The CES efforts generally begin during May, at the onset of the landbird breeding season in Oregon and California, and continue into October, inclusive of the fall migration. Some stations are operated throughout the year. Each CES effort is scheduled for the five to six hours following sunrise. Ralph, C.J., G.R. Geupel, P. Pyle, T.E. Martin, and D.F.
