Summary
Description
The neotropicallandbird survey was performed to collect baseline data for both migratory and resident birds on the refuge. The data are useful for monitoring species presence, species habitat association, and population trends over the years. An important goal of the survey is to identify species of concern and to associate these species with habitat preference for future conservation and management purposes.Species of management concern are those that have shown significant population declines in the North American Breeding Bird Survey since 1966, or have been listed as threatened, endangered, or a species of concern by the state of Virginia or the US Fish and Wildlife Service Table 1.
