Pilot Landbird Monitoring at Grand Teton National Park, 2005-2008 - Geospatial Data

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 25, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-10-31T00:00:00Z
Landbird monitoring is a widely used monitoring type that can help land managers determine the habitat quality within the survey area. The Greater Yellowstone Network (GRYN) used landbird monitoring to determine the quality of select habitats within Grand Teton National Park (GRTE): High elevation/Alpine, aspen, riparian floodplain, riparian willow, and sage shrub steppe/sagebrush. Both point count and transect methods were employed to record the landbirds encountered along randomly-selected 2.1 km-long transects and 15 points within these habitats. In addition to habitat quality, the data found in these surveys can be used to determine the distribution and density of target landbird species, community dynamics, and habitat (vegetation) structure. The surveys that produced these data were performed in the months following the end of spring migration yearly, from 2005 to 2008.
