The intent of the survey is to collect data to estimate the presence, abundance, and distribution of waterbirds along the foreshore of key wintering sites for waterbirds throughout the Lower Mainland. The sites currently surveyed include Stanley Park, Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal and Sturgeon Banks. A minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes were spent at each station. All waterbirds flying opposite to the team’s direction of travel (flyovers) were counted within the first 3 minutes at each station to prioritize counts of waterbirds on water. This dataset is a continuation compilation of species-level occurrence, abundance and distribution data of marine birds collected systematically since 1995 on roughly a weekly basis between September and April each year along the Stanley Park seawall. This long-term dataset of marine birds has a high value for analyzing spatiotemporal trends in marine bird species.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV> |
