This project constitutes an inventory of state parks in the San Joaquin Valley documenting the presence and distribution of rare and listed vertebrate species. These surveys were part of a large-scale project administered by California State Parks and funded by Bureau of Reclamation that included eight State Park units: - Caswell Memorial SP - Turlock Lake SRA - McConnell SRA - George J. Hatfield SRA - Great Valley Grasslands SP - San Luis Reservoir SRA (northern management units & Los Banos Reservoir unit) - Colonel Allensworth SHP - Tule Elk SR. The information was presented along with historic data from past surveys in assorted parks to help assess the role of State Parks in providing quality habitat for rare and listed vertebrate species in the San Joaquin Valley.
This dataset includes special status bird observations in seven San Joaquin Valley State Park units, including Caswell Memorial State Park, McConnell State Recreation Area, Turlock Lake State Recreation Area, Great Valley Grassland State Park, San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area, Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park, and Tule Elk State Natural Reserve. Records are from all survey results along with incidental observations for which geographic coordinates were available. To see some of the survey plots refer to the shapefiles SJV_Parks_Line.shp and SJV_Parks_Polygon.shp. In some cases the point is the location from which the observation was made, rather than the location of the bird itself (see Notes attribute for more specific location). State parks that were surveyed for birds, but for which no observations were made include the Los Banos Reservoir unit of San Luis Reservoir SRA, and George J. Hatfield SRA. Surveys were conducted by contracted biologists from the University of California, Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology in 2006 and 2007 and by CDPR staff.
