Colonial Waterbird Inventory and Monitoring Program
Entry ID:
BRDPWRC0008
Summary
Abstract:
Since the demise of the Colonial Bird Register at Cornell University, no
national colonial waterbird population database currently exists. Planning is underway (both in USGS, Biological Resources Division and the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS)) to develop a monitoring program. Feedback on a data form has been solicited from a number of states and many have responded. We ...  Purpose: 1. Regulatory agencies need to have data on colony or roost site locations and feeding areas to assist them in making decisions about protection and/or acquisition. 2. State, Federal, and NGO groups need to know status and trends of selected populations of waterbirds at local, regional, and national scales. 3. Waterbird monitoring may provide useful "bioindication" of changes in wetland habitats over time 4. Waterbirds are an important recreational resource (e.g. bird watchers) and are often used as symbols for conservation (e.g., National Audubon Society logo, Maryland's Chesapeake Bay commemorative license plate). Thus, their status is often quite conspicuous. Geographic Coverage
