The purpose of CCB's research program, was to develop a monitoring framework for the WRC MSHCP. This framework involved constructing and testing models identifying suitable habitat for Covered Species, constructing and testing conceptual models postulating Covered Species population responses to environmental processes, and establishing sampling strategies to characterize natural communities. The combination of modeling and data sampling strategies were being developed to aid in guiding future monitoring and management of 146 Covered Species in the WRC MSHCP. These species occur in a variety of habitats within a preserve system anticipated to encompass approximately 500,000 acres when completed. The conceptual basis of the monitoring framework is described in detail in Allen et al. (2005).
The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) initiated a research program between November 2002 and May 2005 to develop a monitoring framework for sensitive species and communities conserved by Western Riverside County's Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (WRC MSHCP). This program included different research projects, the details of which can be found in Allen et al. (2005). These data represent the raptor survey portion of the project. Allison Rudalevige conducted raptor point count surveys in Western Riverside County during spring 2003, winter 2003-2004 and spring 2004. These surveys, defined as Focused Search surveys, consisted of a 20-minute point count conducted at 160 of the 250 randomly selected points, where any raptor, crow, or raven seen was recorded. She also recorded incidental observations of raptors observed when traveling between point count locations (these data are NOT included in this dataset). These files contain information on species locations and survey conditions. These location records were incorporated into CCB's Species Database and were used to construct niche models and logistic regression models characterizing raptor habitat relationships within an urbanizing environment. What each record represents: Each record is a discrete raptor sighting for a specific survey event.
