Ensemble de données
RCSM - totaux quotidiens estimés: Vaseux Lake Bird Observatory
À propos
Résumé de l’ensemble de données
Counts from Vaseux Lake Bird Observatory (VLBO) of birds banded and counted during standardized operations, and 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 standard operation period.
Saison(s) et fréquence
Fall monitoring occurs between August 1st and October 15.
Région géographique couverte
Located in south central British Columbia, south of Kelowna (49.3101, -119.5451). Migrants at the site originate primarily from breeding range in British Columbia, eastern 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 (standardized in 2006) include 6.5 hours of daily coverage, with 14 nets operated 6 hr (from half-hour before sunrise), a fixed-route census lasting about 1.5 hr, and incidental observations during the standard operation 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). As of 2025, only alert reported is that the station was moved to its present site in 1998
