À propos

Résumé de l’ensemble de données

Counts from the Atlantic Bird Observatory (ABO) for 1997-2014 of birds banded and observed during daily operations; plus a composite Daily Estimated Total (DET): the best estimate for each species of unduplicated number of individuals detected within the official count area during the daily monitoring period.

Saison(s) et fréquence

On Bon Portage, daily counts from mid-August to end of October. Coverage was lower at Seal Island

Région géographique couverte

Offshore of southwestern Nova Scotia: Bon Portage Island (ATBP; 43.465, -66.745) and Seal Island (ATSI; 43.394, -66.014, about 20 km farther west). Monitored migrants breed primarily in the Maritime provinces.

Principales espèces couvertes

Landbirds and marine waterbirds

Objectifs

To conduct standardized daily migration season counts and collect ancillary data on migration ecology for use in long-term biological and population monitoring of Canada’s bird species

Méthodologie

Plan d’échantillonnage

Daily capture and observation during migration seasons to generate species-specific daily totals of birds detected within each study site

Méthodes de terrain

Daily banding and a census, plus incidental observations

Méthodes d'analyse

See Quick Links. Population trends for all species were based on Daily Estimated Totals at Bon Portage.

Suggestions

No written protocol on record for this station. If important to learn the distinction between Daily Estimated Totals and Daily Standardized Totals, contact the current station operators
