These efforts have received national recognition: our partnership was recipient of the Joint Fire Sciences Program's Best Scientist Manager Partnership Award for our continued research on the use of birds as indicators of the ecological effects of disturbance, and the Ducks Unlimited/US Forest Service Taking Wing Award for increasing understanding of wetland ecosystems and habitat relationships through excellence in science and management applications. Klamath Bird Observatory and Redwood Sciences Laboratory developed a model for building bird monitoring networks from which the Klamath Bird Observatory - Redwood Sciences Laboratory Avian Data Center has emerged. The Avian Data Center currently hosts three nodes of the Avian Knowledge Network: 1-Landbird Monitoring Network of the Americas banding node, 2-Klamath Bird Monitoring Network node, and 3-Klamath-Siskiyou eBird. In cooperation with PRBO Conservation Science, we developed the Landbird Monitoring Network of the Americas (LaMNA) node to serve banding data collected from throughout the Americas to the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The Klamath Bird Monitoring Network, a regional partnership, is now serving as an AKN node datasets that cover the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion of southern Oregon and northern California. Klamath-Siskiyou eBird represents a partnership between local Audubon Chapters within the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion to promote local birding communities' involvement with and contribution to the Klamath Bird Monitoring Network. Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO) advances bird and habitat conservation in the Americas through science, education, and partnerships. KBO conducts scientific studies to monitor and inventory bird populations, contributing towards the Partners In Flight International Bird Conservation Program's efforts to keep common birds common. Working in the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion of southern Oregon and northern California, and beyond, we provide information to help federal, state, and local land managers better protect and enhance bird populations and their habitats. The Redwood Sciences Laboratory is operated by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station. Since 1976, the two-story Laboratory houses research hydrologists, geologists, wildlife and fisheries biologists, plant ecologists, and biometricians, research technicians, and support personnel who are conducting watershed, wildlife, and fisheries research applicable to the Pacific Northwest from Alaska to California. The Laboratory is located on the Preston Forest Research Site, a wooded, 3-acre site on the Humboldt State University campus in Arcata, California. Avian research at the Redwood Sciences Laboratory is focused on various aspects of avian ecology, restoration of bird habitat and bird populations of critical species, and avian population ecology in general.

This Network promotes a science-based approach to integrating bird conservation objectives into the ecosystem management process. Through partnership development we incorporate academic, scientific, management, and conservation interests to produce information that informs the conservation of birds and the land management process. Network cooperators study bird populations and provide information about bird distribution, population trends at various scales, and demographic factors that drive population change. We have successfully engaged voluntary participation from academics, federal and state agencies, non-government organizations, and private landowners. We promote the use of standardized bird-monitoring methods that contribute to the Klamath Bird Observatory - Redwood Sciences Laboratory Avian Data Center. Point Count Data These data include point count surveys conducted at two scales. Extensive scale surveys were done over multiple watersheds, using on- and off-road counts in both upland and riparian habitats, and thus providing information at a landscape level. Intensive surveys were usually concentrated in the riparian zones or meadow edges, or in association with specific management efforts. These intensive efforts compliment the extensive dataset with site-specific information. Purpose: These point count data were collected to provide information about bird distribution and population trends at various scales. Our monitoring efforts were designed to guide management with information about the effects of management on species of conservation concern. These data are also intended to provide information to managers helping to assure proper documentation of the potential negative effects of management actions on species of conservation concern. Within the adaptive management and ecosystem management frameworks our data identify "Indicator Species" (species that represent specific management related habitat conditions) and can be used to develop tools for effectiveness monitoring. Supplemental_Information: These data will be updated as we continue to federate our existing datasets, identify the availability of historic datasets, and collect new data.
