Kalaupapa National Historical Park Shoreline Bird Inventory Dataset
Shoreline bird surveys were conducted in Kalaupapa National Historical Park to inventory avian species diversity and relative abundance. Seasonal migrants (waterfowl, shorebirds) were the primary focus of the routine surveys, but seabirds, raptorial species, and native waterbirds were also recorded as encountered. The coastline of Kalaupapa National Historical Park was surveyed once over a two day period, 5-6 April 2005. The park coast consists of sandy and rocky beaches, steep rock cliffs adjoining grassy pastures, and uninhabited offshore islets. Pacific golden plovers, wandering tattlers, and ruddy turnstones are common seasonal migrants that were observed along the survey route. Four seabird species common to the Hawaiian Islands, great frigatebird, wedge-tailed shearwater, re-tailed tropicbird, and white-tailed tropicbird were observed as well. An unknown booby species, most likely red-footed booby was seen on the offshore islets. All passerine species observed along the shoreline route were non-native. No waterfowl or raptors were observed during the survey. Also included are GIS shapefiles of the shoreline bird inventory route taken, and all species detected during the inventory.
