Summary: | Boreal Partners in Flight developed the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey (ALMS) primarily to monitor breeding populations of landbirds in the vast off-road areas of Alaska in conjunction with data collected from the roadside North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). ALMS is a collaborative program in which agencies and other entities conduct standardized surveys of breeding birds and their habitats on the lands they manage and then provide the data to the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Science Center for analysis and archiving. The ALMS monitoring program comprises a set of survey blocks that have been selected in a stratified-random design primarily across state and Federal natural resource lands in Alaska with the principal goal of assessing regional and statewide population trends of birds during the breeding season (Handel and Sauer 2017). Each block has a mini-grid of 15−25 points that are typically surveyed biennially, with half of the blocks surveyed in alternating years. This sampling frame has been ... |
