Summary

The data set was created to document the use of riparian habitat along the Sacramento and Feather rivers by the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo in 2012 and 2013.

Description

In 2012-13, Point Blue Conservation Science was contracted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct surveys for the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo along the Sacramento and Feather rivers. This data set describes where and when surveys were conducted and the results of each survey. Surveys were conducted in potential cuckoo habitat at randomly selected locations where researchers were able to obtain access. The results of the surveys are detailed in a report submitted to the CDFW. - https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=90522

Field Detect_num
Alias Detect_num
Data type String
Width 255
Precision 0
Scale 0
Field description
Unique detection number for a cuckoo for that survey. The first cuckoo detected on the survey will be numbered 1, if the same individual is detected again later in the survey it is still given Detect_num=1. If another individual is detected it will be given Detect_num=2, and so on. In this way we collect information each time a cuckoo is detected, but also account for the same individual being detected multiple times.

Overview Description
Entity and Attribute Overview
For our analysis we only included Yellow-billed Cuckoo detections that were during a protocol surveys, were not repeat detections on the same day, were not on a follow-up visit, and occurred during rounds 1-4. This means the detections we used had Non-survey?=FALSE, Follow-up?=FALSE, Same_day_det=FALSE, and Survey_period<5.
