The focal species, Bicknell's Thrush, is identified as the top conservation priority among neotropical migratory species in the Northeast. Volunteers conduct ten-minute dawn point counts along trails and follow-up with playbacks for Bicknell's Thrush if none were heard during the point counts. The program was initiated in 2000 and about 120 routes are surveyed annually. Purpose: Data are collected to maintain a history of Bicknell's Thrush distribution and to monitor population trends and abundance of high-elevation birds. Data are used by land managers for conservation decisions. Data may be useful to document impacts to high-elevation birds from climate change, pollution, and development.

The data are currently being analyzed with Presence. Tool_Access_Information: Online_Linkage: http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/software/presence.html Tool_Access_Instructions: Available online. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Observers are trained in bird identification skills. They are provided with a training recording that discusses the common bird songs in high-elevation forests and must score 100% on the provided audio test. Only highly-skilled observers are asked to survey for all species. Data entry is spot checked with random reviews by checking datasheets against the database. Logical_Consistency_Report: not applicable Completeness_Report: About 120 routes are surveyed annually. Some surveys include data for all birds detected, while some are limited to the five focal species. As part of piloting the program in 2000, the majority of the routes were conducted in Vermont. Coverage in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine was added in 2001. Some routes have been surveyed in consecutive years, whereas others are sporadically covered. Please note that routes are not consistently run, sites were not selected on a purely random basis, and a low percentage of sites are located outside of the Bicknells Thrush habitat distribution model. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The most recent USGS topo quad maps at the 1:24,000 scale were used to verify route locations in GIS. Maps are in electronic format as high resolution TIF files. Spatial information was not specifically used in analyses, but rather primarily used to guide observers in the field. Lineage: Methodology: Methodology_Type: Field Methodology_Identifier: Methodology_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Methodology_Keyword: point counts Methodology_Keyword: playback Methodology_Description: Design methodology: Site selection was based on a GIS model of potential Bicknell's Thrush habitat that incorporates elevation, latitude, and forest type. Routes, consisting of five points spaced 200-250 m apart, were located within this habitat model if possible. A few sites are below the threshold and some cross it. An attempt to randomly select sites was made; however, the choice of sites was constrained by the availability of volunteers and the location of existing trails. Survey methodology: Surveys are conducted under acceptable weather conditions (no precipitation, temperature >2 °C, wind speed <32 km/h) from 1 to 21 June. Surveys are conducted between 04:30 and 08:00 EDT; most completed by 06:30 EDT. Observers listen quietly for ten minutes at each of the five stations Observers record the number of each focal species seen or heard during three time periods: 0-3 minutes, 3-5 minutes, and 5-10 minutes. If Bicknell's Thrush is not detected during or between point counts, surveyors return to each point and broadcast a one-minute recording of the bird's vocalizations, followed by a two-minute listening period. Playbacks are discontinued upon detection of one or more individuals. If no Bicknell's Thrush respond to the broadcasts, observers are asked to conduct follow-up playback surveys at dusk or dawn before 15 July.

For Bicknell's Thrush, we also calculated the proportion of survey routes on which the species was detected by any means (10-minute point count, chance, playback, or follow-up). For between-year comparisons, we calculated the average number of individuals per point on a route by route basis. For each focal species, we averaged per-point values across routes to produce an overall index of relative abundance. This is calculated for all routes and for only those routes that have been surveyed continuously. Process_Date: Unknown Process_Step: Process_Description: Spatial data were created either in the field using GPS units or identified on a USGS topo quad map in GIS. Data created from a topo map were plotted in GIS by zooming in on the appropriate topo map and matching up route locations or point locations according to descriptions made in the field by observers.
