Bird Inventory
Importance / IssuesData mining and cooperative bird census efforts were planned to allow all the parks to meet the goal of having 90% of their species documented. Inventory efforts were further justified by concerns about declining populations of neotropical migratory songbirds in the region. The inventories were conducted by the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO). KBO administers the Klamath Demographic Monitoring Network, a partnership of federal, state, and private entities which conducts long term bird demographic monitoring stations on public lands in the Klamath region. |
 ObjectivesThe first objective of the bird inventory was to establish bird monitoring stations and to conduct avian inventories in all six parks of the Klamath Network. The second objective was to generate data on the distribution, abundance, and productivity of bird species in the region. The third objective was to generate baseline data for eventual long-term monitoring. ParksCrater Lake National Park Project StatusCompleted The Klamath Network has now moved from inventorying landbird species to monitoring landbird species and composition. |
