Riparian Bird Monitoring, Western Riverside MSHCP, Riverside County, California, biota, environment
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 riparian bird survey portion of the project. Kristine Preston supervised a team of 14 other field workers surveying riparian communities in 15 drainages (18 sampling areas) in Western Riverside County. The surveys were conducted in the spring and summer of 2004 and the details of survey methods and personnel involved are presented in Allen et al. (2005). Surveys were conducted at points spaced 200 m apart along each drainage. Ten-minute point count surveys were conducted for birds at 290 locations. Data collected during point count surveys were used to construct logistic regression models predicting the occurrence of WRC MSHCP covered riparian bird species, to create conceptual models postulating covered species responses to environmental processes, and to characterize riparian communities in Western Riverside County. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS: Each record represents a sighting of a bird species during a 10-minute point count.
