7 Basic Concepts of the BBP: Route: A pathway that is surveyed at least once a month for 6 months for nesting activity. Site: A point along a route where nesting activity is observed. Route Survey: The act of walking a route from start to end in search of nesting birds Site Visit: The act of counting birds at a know or newly identified nesting location

23 What can we do with this data? Near Real-time reporting of nesting locations Disaster response Statewide species distribution & Timing of nesting activity Allows managers to identify critical nesting periods in their area. Minimum know nesting pairs Tells us how our numbers are comparing to the statewide nesting population goals Major threats and disturbances Targeted management actions to improve survival Nesting success and productivity
