Monitoring Bird Populations by Point Counts
Point counts of birds are the most widely used quantitative method and involve an observer recording birds from a single point for a standardized time period. In response to the need for standardization of methods to monitor bird populations by census, researchers met to present data from various investigations working under a wide variety of conditions, and to examine various aspects of point count methodology. Statistical aspects of sampling and analysis were discussed and applied to the objectives of point counts. The final chapter presents these standards and their applications to point count methodology.

Handbook of Field Methods for Monitoring Landbirds
Presents a compilation of methods that can be used to assay population size, demographics, & status of virtually all species of landbirds in a wide variety of habitats. Suggests priorities for selecting a monitoring method & determining station location. Presents general tasks that determine which species can be monitored, & methods of establishing & maintaining a study plot, journal keeping, & training of personnel. Describes two demographic methods & four types of censuses for determining population size & trends. Methods are suggested for measuring habitat, recording weather, & color banding. Illustrated.
Monitoring Bird Populations Using Mist Nets
This volume constitutes the majority of papers presented at a workshop on the use of mist-netting as a tool for monitoring bird population, with a primary focus on passerines; the workshop was held in October, 1993 at the Marconi Conference Center, Tomales Bay, California.
Ecology and Conservation of the Marbled Murrelet
This report was compiled & edited by the interagency Marbled Murrelet Conservation Assessment Core Team. The 37 chapters cover both original studies & literature reviews of many aspects of the species' biology, ecology, & conservation needs. It includes new information on the forest habitat used for nesting, marine distribution, & demographic analyses; & describes past & potential effects of humans on the species habitats. Future research needs & possible management strategies for both marine & forest habitats are suggested. Charts & tables.

Informing Ecosystem Management
Recent advances in bird conservation are marked by the integration of science and land management. Information gained from past research can now be used to develop user-friendly management tools. Partners in Flight (Rich et al. 2004) as well as shorebirds (Brown et al. 2001), waterbirds (Kushlan et al. 2002), and especially waterfowl (North American Waterfowl Management Plan Committee 2004) initiatives use their respective conservation plans to catalyze this process and influence land management planning across the landscape. Using these conservation plans within a broader monitoring framework, managers can glean pertinent information about ecosystem dynamics. Land managers work in a setting...
