Breeding activity of shorebirds on Herschel Island
We are monitoring the nesting activity and density of shorebirds. We find nests through systematic search of 12-ha plots in mesic upland heath and hydric meadow tundra. Many nests are also found opportunistically. Nests found are positioned with a GPS and revisited during the breeding period to dete...

Summary: | We are monitoring the nesting activity and density of shorebirds. We find nests through systematic search of 12-ha plots in mesic upland heath and hydric meadow tundra. Many nests are also found opportunistically. Nests found are positioned with a GPS and revisited during the breeding period to determine laying date, clutch size, hatching date and fledging success. : Purpose: Long term monitoring of the breeding activity and density (abundance, phenology and success) of shorebirds : Summary: Not Applicable |
