To provide critical information about the population trends of, and habitat use of, some high elevation birds across Atlantic Canada.
Each survey route is 1 km in length, and has 5 stops 250m apart; at each stop, surveyors spend 10 minutes listening silently for target species. Each route is monitored at least once per year during the month of June, 1 hour before sunrise or at sunset.
Data was entered by field technicians and proofed by program coordinator. Field technician training was conducted by program coordinator each year.
In New Brunswick, data from 2012-2015 was collected from different point count sites than data from 2016-present. In 2016, a revised Bicknell’s Thrush habitat model was used to choose point count sites for New Brunswick.
