Avian Monitoring on Private Lands: Measuring Bird Response to Easement, Restoration, and Incentive Programs in the Central Valley.

摘要

We conducted the first year of a 3-year project designed to assess the value of four programs to landbird, waterbird, and shorebird populations in the Central Valley, California. This project will include 3 years of shorebird, waterbird, and landbird monitoring during spring/summer in grassland, riparian, and semi-permanent wetland habitats throughout the Central Valley and 2 years of shorebird and waterbird monitoring in post-harvest flooded agricultural lands in the San Joaquin and Tulare basins.
