Breeding activity of passerine birds on Herschel Island

We are monitoring the nesting timing and success of passerines on Herschel Island, to compare phenology and success with historical data from the 1980s. We find nests opportunistically and by concentrated searches of certain habitats. Nests found are positioned with a GPS and revisited every 48 hour...

Description
Summary:We are monitoring the nesting timing and success of passerines on Herschel Island, to compare phenology and success with historical data from the 1980s. We find nests opportunistically and by concentrated searches of certain habitats. Nests found are positioned with a GPS and revisited every 48 hours during the breeding period to determine clutch size, hatching date, and fledging success. : Purpose: Long term monitoring of the breeding activity (abundance, phenology and success) of passerine birds : Summary: Not Applicable
