Toward a Continental Raptor Monitoring Strategy
Active
We will develop a strategy for monitoring the population status of raptors in North America (south through temperate Mexico). The objectives are: 1) evaluate the literature and exiting databases for methods and data useful for monitoring diurnal raptors and some owls that can be surveyed during daylight; 2) identify inadequacies for monitoring by species, geographic areas, and season (breeding, migration, winter); 3) describe existing procedures for overcoming inadequacies; 4) recommend development of new procedures needed to provide monitoring information; 5) provide a strategy for longterm monitoring of the status and trends of raptor numbers.
