À propos

Résumé de l’ensemble de données

Counts from Tatlayoko Lake Bird Observatory (TLBO) 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 daily coverage between August 3 and September 28

Région géographique couverte

Located in southern BC (51.65, -124.4). Migrants at the site originate primarily from breeding range in British Columbia, western Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alaska

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 include standardized banding using 12 nets (6 hr from dawn onward), a fixed-route census lasting about an hour, and incidental observation during the 6-hr standard operations period.

Méthodes d'analyse

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

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). As of 2025, the following alert had been recorded. Note that the portion of count area covered during incidental observations was expanded in 2017, causing noticeable increase in Estimated Totals for certain species, especially grassland birds. As well, regeneration and succession have altered capture rates for some nets
