Field data for Avian Inventory and Monitoring Needs for Gateway National Recreation Area: A Review of Available Literature and Data
New Jersey Audubon Society (NJAS), under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS), conducted a comprehensive review of existing avian information for Gateway National Recreation Area (GATE). We reviewed and evaluated avian occurrence, status, and abundance information for the Sandy Hook, Staten Island, and the Jamaica Bay/Breezy Point units separately, and created an NPSpecies-compatible database for each unit. We also developed a systematic method to classify the residency status of species that occur during more than one distinct period of the annual cycle, and a standardized way to present additional residency status and abundance information in the database. We used NatureBib and other bibliographic databases to identify information sources and data sets to use in evaluating existing knowledge gaps regarding GATE's avian resources. With the preponderance of species that must be considered by park managers, and limits on resources available to conduct active species management, the need to prioritize among species is important. Given this, our assessment of avian resource management needs was made in light of regional and national conservation objectives. Our review mostly focused on comprehensive, multi-year reports and published, peer-reviewed manuscripts. Additionally, we reviewed recent scientific permit applications for research and monitoring efforts at GATE. We also interviewed several natural resource staff from each GATE unit to augment our perspective regarding inventory and monitoring needs throughout the park.
