Daily banding totals from the Brier Island Bird Migration Research Station (BIBMRS)
Daily coverage for 3 weeks between 12 August and 12 September
Located on Brier Island, southwestern Nova Scotia (44.28, -66.35). Migrants at this site originate largely from breeding range in the Maritime Provinces
Captures are primarily small passerines
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
Daily capture during migration season
Daily operations (standardized since 2005) consist of mist netting (17 nets) from sunrise to 1 p.m.
See QuickLinks. Population trends for all species at this site are based on standardized banding totals
Any disruption to standardized operations relevant to appropriate interpretation of analytical results is noted in a regularly-updated section of the station protocol (https://www.birdscanada.org/bird-science/cmmn-protocols). As of 2025, it had been noted that the station did not operate in 2020 or 2021 due to covid restrictions
