Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains lists of mammal species found on Camp Adair by various survey methods in 1998. Mammals were documented by live-trapping, infrared monitoring, spotlight surveys, and mist netting . Data are in the form of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
Purpose:
These data were collected in order to document bird, mammal, amphibian, and reptile species using Camp Adair at some point in their life cycles. In September 1997, the Environmental Branch of the Oregon Military Department contacted the U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center to help address provisions of the Sykes Act which require management of natural resources on military land holdings in coordination with federal and state agencies. The U.S. Department of Defense listed management of natural resources as a requirement in its "Measure of Merit" mandate. The Oregon Military Department has its own mission statement regarding stewardship and management of natural resources on training sites in the state. Requirements of this mission statement include maintaining biodiversity, and initiation of biological monitoring. Prior to the development of monitoring protocols at Camp Adair Military Training Area (Camp Adair), a baseline inventory of floral and faunal resources was required. This project was initiated to address the need for inventory and distribution information of wildlife species on the training site.

Methodology_Type: Field
Methodology_Description:
Establishment of sample sites Given the relatively small size of the Camp Adair training area, a systematic sampling design was chosen consisting of a uniform distribution of sample points over the entire area. These sample points were spaced 250m apart in a grid oriented toward magnetic north. This spacing corresponds to the minimum distance between avian point counts recommended by Ralph et al. (1995). The grid system resulted in 41 intersection points on Camp Adair which were used throughout the study for avian point counts, habitat measurements, and as reference points for incidental observations and opportunistic small mammal sampling. In early April 1998, we began locating and marking the intersection points. A starting point was chosen and marked on an aerial photograph of the site, and grid lines drawn. In the field, a two-person team used a measuring tape and a compass to walk a magnetic course for a distance of 250m from the chosen starting point. At the end point, the aerial photograph was checked to verify that the location was correct by referencing recognizable landmarks such as fence lines, road intersections, and prominent tree stands. (The topography of the area rises to the west, and using a two dimensional approach resulted in some degree of distortion of actual ground distance between points, but we always maintained a minimum ground distance of 250m.) A wood stake with a plastic identification tag was placed at each intersection point. The tag contained the point’s (x, y) coordinates with the (1, 1) point occurring in the southwest corner of the grid. A non-differentially corrected GPS fix was obtained for each point and written on the identification tag. Subsequent checks with an independent differentially corrected receiver showed that the accuracy of the original receiver was acceptable within 0.05 minutes latitude/longitude. After the initial reconnaissance, small mammal mark-recapture plots were established. Using a coarse scale approach, three distinctly separate plant communities were delineated: (1) an upland coniferous zone which covered much of the western upland area, (2) a grassland shrub zone which included the northeast quarter, and (3) an ash bottomland located in the southeast corner of Camp Adair. Areas of savannah grassland in the southwest corner and other unique habitats too small to support replicated plot sampling of small mammals were opportunistically sampled. Small mammal sampling plots were placed in each of the three major distinct plant communities. Plot placement was random, but care was taken to ensure that the plot accurately represented the overall plant community with respect to plant species composition, vegetative height and density, etc. The habitat structure was more or less homogeneous within each trapping plot. Each small mammal plot measured 40m x 40m, and was oriented along magnetic north like the larger grid system. The southwest corner was marked with a steel stake and PVC covering labeled with plot number and GPS coordinates. The steel/PVC combination was to ensure permanency after possible fire, weathering, flooding, etc. Within each plot, wire flags were placed at 10m intervals resulting in a 25-point grid with the (x, y) coordinate of (1, 1) occurring at the southwest corner. Opportunistic small mammal transects were placed in areas of special interest by marking the starting point with a wooden stake with a plastic identification tag labeled with a transect number and GPS coordinates. (Small mammal sampling methods will be discussed later.) Other sampling sites such as those used for infrared monitoring, were established after reconnaissance for suitability and animal activity. Small Mammal Mark-Recapture Live trap plots were established in all of the coarse scale plant communities. A plot consisted of 25 Tomahawk® small mammal traps placed in a 5 x 5 grid at 10m spacing. Three plots were located within each plant community, and placed to avoid habitat interfaces by at least 50m. The location of each plot was random within the habitat type, but was representative of the overall plant community and did not include anomalous or unique attributes. Certain areas of special interest were sampled with line transect placement of small mammal traps. These were small areas with unique plant communities, or places that due to their physical shape, did not lend themselves to plot sampling. Examples of transects include those placed along wetland edges, dikes, and in areas with limited access during October due to training activities. In addition, in October we placed a line transect in each of the plant communities already being sampled by plots to examine the relative effectiveness of each method. Line transects consisted of 10-14 traps positioned at 10m intervals. Capture methods and data recorded were the same for plot and transect trapping. Sampling was conducted in March 1998, and repeated in October 1998. Only one of the three plots from each plant community was re-sampled in the fall. All traps were positioned near the corresponding wire flag denoting the 10m spacing, and were placed facing runways, burrows, or adjacent to structures such as logs. Traps were baited with a mix of crimped oats, rolled oats, rolled wheat flakes, and peanut butter, and the doors locked in the open position. In order to document species which may have been wary of the traps, an acclimation period spanning a minimum of six days preceded trapping, after which the traps were re-baited, set, and placed in exactly the same position (as during the acclimation period) for four trap nights. Traps were checked each day at least two hours after daylight ensuring that diurnal and crepuscular species had capture opportunities. Each captured animal was identified to species, sex, and age class, and a numbered #1 monel ear tag was attached (National Band and Tag Co, Newport KY). All information was recorded on field data forms. Shrews (Sorex sp.) were not aged, sexed, or tagged. The survival rate for shrews was very low, and the additional stress of handling, combined with the difficulty in marking and sex identification did not warrant these procedures. Live captured shrews were only recorded to species, and released. Processing time for newly captured animals averaged three minutes from trap check to release. Subsequently, all recaptured animals were released after recording of tag number and capture coordinates. All mortalities were retained for species verification, either in the field, or later in the laboratory. Arboreal and Incidental Trapping Arboreal mammals were sampled using small mammal traps (described above) and Tomahawk® #105 box traps on an opportunistic basis during May and September 1998. Lose transects were placed in woodland stands of various ages and tree species composition . Traps were fastened with wire to horizontal branches 2 to 4m off the ground, 10 to 30m apart. The spacing and placement of traps was dependent on the availability of suitable horizontal branches, but an effort was made to attempt trapping in all the variations of woodland habitat, at several locations throughout the training area. Traps were baited with peanuts, and set in late afternoon to reduce attraction to birds, then checked each morning. Box traps were also placed adjacent to standing and downed snags and visible nests of Woodrats. Captured animals were identified to species, and released. Infrared Monitoring Carnivores at Camp Adair were documented by combining observations from monitoring stations, sign, and spotlighting. We placed active infrared monitors (Trailmaster® TM1500) and 35mm camera units (fully automatic 35mm Olympus® DLX loaded with 24 exposure, ASA 400 slide film) at seven locations. Monitoring sites included woodland, grassland, and wetland plant communities. Specific monitoring sites were chosen after initial reconnaissance and consisted of game trails, creek bottoms, vehicle trails and water sources. Monitoring began in August and continued intermittently through November 1998. A monitoring period predicted to be free from extreme weather conditions was selected. Although the trail monitor units were reported to be weatherproof, many false event recordings were experienced during periods of rain while initially testing the units. The transmitter and the receiver with camera unit were attached to trees, existing posts, or stakes on opposite sides of the target area, and partially concealed with natural vegetation. The infrared beam was adjusted to pass approximately seven inches above the ground. The receiver was programed to record an event when the pulsed infrared beam was interrupted for 0.20 seconds. This timing was to allow the legs of deer and elk to usually pass through the beam without recording an event or activating the camera, yet still record the passing of a body approximately 10 to 20 inches tall. The receiver was also programmed for a delay of two minutes between transmitted camera signals to eliminate multiple photographs of one slow moving target. The monitors recorded events 24 hours/day, but cameras were programed to only accept input signals from the receivers from late afternoon until mid-morning. We allowed certain cameras to be active 24 hours/day, if human traffic was not an issue. Monitors were activated for three to five nights. No bait or scent was used for the first one or two nights; later, scent lure and/or bait was added to the target area. The scent was a commercially prepared compound (M&M Fur Co), placed on low vegetation. The bait was a fish or chicken carcass wired to the ground. The scent or bait caused the animal to hesitate in the target area to permit a clear photograph. Each unit was checked daily to check alignment and to record event data from the receiver onto data forms. The receiver recorded date and time of each event, and the camera recorded this information on the film, as well. By synchronizing clocks on the receiver and camera, the two systems could be integrated to match a recorded event with the corresponding photograph. This provided a back-up method for identifying the location, date, and time of each photograph.
