Abstract:

Breeding bird survey data were recorded from 1971-2006 on the Moquah Barrens Research Natural Area in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. The data were collected on a standard transect that was walked from south to north every June starting in 1971 and ending in 2006. The transect was defined as Forest Road 236, which bisects the Moquah Barrens Research Natural Area. Every bird either seen or heard while walking the transect was recorded on a data sheet. Additional data collected included: name of observer, date, total number of species detected, total number of individual birds detected, temperature (°F) at the start of the survey, temperature (°F) at the end of the survey, wind speed (Beaufort scale) at the start of the survey, wind speed (Beaufort scale) at the end of the survey, start time of the survey, end time of the survey, and sky conditions.
