Inventory Data of Lowland-Breeding Birds and Associated Vegetation Types on the Alaska Peninsula, 2004-2007
This release includes data collected using stratified random surveys to inventory the birds breeding in lowlands (elevation below 100m) of the Alaska Peninsula, during summers 2004-2007. Data were collected at 792 survey points (10-minute point counts) on 52 5-km x 5-km plots. The data are in seven tables: 1) geographic coordinates of the bounding corners of each of the 52 survey plots, including environmental conditions at the time of the survey, 2) summary of all bird and mammal species encountered on each of the 52 plots before, during, and after the 10-min point counts, 3) geographic coordinates of each of the 792 bird count points and the vegetation cover at each point, 4) counts and behavioral observations of shorebirds and avian predators during 10-min point counts, 5) counts of all bird species not classified as shorebirds or predators that were encountered during 10-min point counts, 6) bird and mammal taxonomy references, and 7) inventory of the habitat photographs taken at each survey point.
