À propos
Résumé de l’ensemble de données
This dataset contains daily estimated totals (DET) from the Pelee Island Bird Observatory. DET is a standard protocol used by Canadian Migration Monitoring Network stations to estimate the total number of individuals of each species occurring at a site during migration.
Saison(s) et fréquence
Spring migration coverage generally runs from April 1 through June 10 and Fall coverage typically runs from August 1 through November 15.
Région géographique couverte
Pelee Island in southern Ontario. Count area is approximately 40 hectares.
Principales espèces couvertes
Primary focus is landbirds (104 priority species) but some stations also monitor waterbirds, raptors.
Objectifs
To generate counts of migrating birds for use in long-term population monitoring, especially landbird species not monitored by current breeding or winter surveys; To carry out cooperative research projects on the ecology of migrating birds. To monitor long-term population trends in migratory songbirds that breed in the boreal forest ecozone and winter in the Neotropics
Méthodologie
Plan d’échantillonnage
Standardized captures and observations used to derive daily estimated total throughout migration window. Standard monitoring period is 6 hours in length,using 10 mistnetsof 12m length. Census duration is 1.5hours.
Méthodes de terrain
Combination of standardized daily captures, census, visible migration counts and other observations resulting in a daily estimated total for each species. Non-standardized Northern Saw-whet Owl banding in the fall.
Méthodes d'analyse
Most stations produce some form of annual report for members.
Suggestions
Any disruption to standardized operations relevant to appropriate interpretation of analytical results is noted in a regularly-updated section of the station protocol. As of 2025, the only alert to users of this dataset is that operations were suspended in 2020 due to Covid 19 restrictions.
