Landbird Monitoring Protocol for Channel Islands National Park ? Version 2.0

Channel Islands National Park was the first park in the National Park System to design and implement a long-term ecological monitoring program to track changes in the condition of terrestrial and marine natural resources that the park is responsible for managing. Monitoring of landbirds began on several of the islands in the park in 1993, and since then, the sampling design, methodology, database, and data analysis and reporting procedures have been reviewed and improved and are now formalized in this protocol document.
