À propos

Résumé de l’ensemble de données

Counts from Innis Point Bird Observatory (IPBO) 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

Standardized monitoring during spring migration (April 24 to June 7th)

Région géographique couverte

Located near Ottawa (45.36, -75.89). Migrants at the site originate primarily from breeding range in Ontario and Quebec, but isotopic studies indicate that a portion of individuals of some species come from farther east

Principales espèces couvertes

Captures are primarily small passerines, but all species observed are recorded

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 operations (standardized since 1997) include 6 hours of banding (24 nets run for 6 hr), a fixed-route census of about an hour, and incidental observation during the 7-hr operations period

Méthodes d'analyse

See Quick Links. Population trends for ‘Regular Migrants’ at this site are based on counts from standardized methods only (numbers banded and recorded on census), while trends for all other species are based on Daily Estimated Totals that include incidental observations

Suggestions

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). The station was not operated in 2020 or 2021 due to Covid 19 restrictions. Migration monitoring operations ended in 2025 but other observatory programs continue.
