Dataset Description
This data package contains data about the birds detected during point count surveys conducted using the National Capital Region Network (NCRN) Landbird Monitoring Protocols. These protocols are administered by staff of the Inventory and Monitoring Division (IMD) of the National Park Service (NPS) in cooperation with the University of Delaware. Monitoring began in most parks in 2007 and birds are generally monitored twice per calendar year at each site.
The purpose of the NCRN Bird Monitoring program is to collect and analyze data and report information that will help national park managers assess the condition of the bird community.
