Description:
Abstract:
Data in this package represent bird observations from monitoring programs in National Forests of the western Great Lakes region; Chippewa, Superior, Chequamegon and Nicolet. The Chequamegon unit of the Nicolet National Forest is referred to as an individual National Forest, ‘Chequamegon’, in this package and the associated publication by Niemi et al. (2016). The data are summaries of the number of observations by bird species by forest stand and by year. Each stand ID by National Forest combination represents a set of unique locations (usually 1-3 points) surveyed annually in the Chippewa (1995-2011), Superior (1995-2011) and Chequamegon (1995-2010) National Forests or biennially in the Nicolet National Forest (1987-2011).
Purpose:
Breeding bird communities in forests of the western Great Lakes region are among the most diverse in North America, but the forest environment in this region has changed dramatically during the past 150 years. Researchers have systematically monitored forest birds in the region for more than two decades to address concerns about loss of biodiversity due to ongoing forest harvesting and to better inform forest planning.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
For data gathered in the Chequamegon, Chippewa, and Superior National Forests, testing and training of counters has been an important component of the monitoring program. Before the field season, tapes or compact disks (CDs) of more than 120 bird songs were provided to all potential counters. Each counter was tested on his or her ability to pass an identification test of 75 bird songs. Songs on the tape were grouped by habitat (e.g., upland deciduous, lowland coniferous) to simulate field cues that would aid in song identification. A standard for number of correct responses was established by giving the test to observers who had 4–5 years of field experience. Based on their results, the standard for passing was set at 85 percent correct responses. In late May of each monitoring year, observer field training was conducted over 3 or 4 days in the Superior National Forest or in the vicinity of Duluth, MN. Observers conducted simultaneous practice counts at several points used in the monitoring program. Data were compiled for each observer and compared with data for experienced observers. In addition to field training and testing, all observers were required to have a hearing test to ensure their hearing was within normal ranges, as established by audiologists, for all frequencies (125 to 8,000 Hz). In the Nicolet National Forest, data have been gathered by expert bird observers; many of which have been involved in the surveys for many years. The counts are completed during one weekend in June by a team of observers led by at least one expert experience in the auditory identification of birds in northern Wisconsin forests.

Methodology_Description:
In 1991 counters were started in the Chippewa and Superior National Forests and in 1992 in the Chequamegon National Forest (NF). We established three point locations within each stand using the guidance for point counts available at the time. Point count locations were initially located at least 220 meters (m) apart and at least 100 m from the edge of the forest stand by using a combination of forest inventory maps and pacing. Sample points were subsequently recorded by using a recreation-grade GPS when the technology became available. Point counts were designed to be 10 minutes (min) long, conducted by trained observers, and completed from 0.5 hours before to 4 hours after sunrise on days with low wind (<15 kilometers/hour) and light or no precipitation. All counts were conducted between late May and early June in the Chequamegon NF, early-to-mid June in the Superior NF, and late June to early July in the Chippewa NF. Before 1995, only birds recorded up to 100 m from the sample point were tallied. In 1995 the protocol was changed to include unlimited-distance sampling, but continued to estimate distances within 50 m, 100 m, and beyond 100 m following a series of coordination workshops. The number of individuals observed for each species was recorded at 0- to 3-, 3- to 5-, and 5- to 10-minute intervals. In 2010 we began to gather data at 1-minute intervals after the first 2 min of sampling to gain a better understanding of bird detectability. Bird counters were randomly assigned to forest stands so each counter sampled about the same number of stands of each forest cover type. As a result of these changes in data collection in 1995, the data prior to 1995 for the Chippewa, Superior, and Chequamegon NFs are not included in this download.

The Nicolet NF bird survey was completed during a single weekend in early June from 1987 through 2011. Ten-min point counts were conducted at each sample point between sunrise and 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday of the Nicolet NF bird survey weekend unless prevented by high winds or rain. When such conditions precluded surveys on the designated weekend, expert birders completed the survey over the following several weeks. All birds seen or heard were recorded on standardized forms following the standard protocol for unlimited-radius point counts with separate fields for distance from observer (0–25 m, 25–50 m, 50–100 m, > 100 m) and time interval when the bird was first observed (0–3 min, 3–5 min, 5–10 min). Like the other NF surveys, time when first observed was recorded at minute intervals (as of 2010).

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
\Data\National_Forest_Bird_data.csv
Comma-delimited ASCII text file containing counts of bird observations by species, forest stand and year.

forest = National Forest unit (Chequamegon, Chippewa, Nicolet, Regional, or Superior). NOTE: the Chequamegon portion of the Nicolet National Forest is treated as a separate National Forest and is referred to as ‘Chequamegon’ throughout Niemi et al. (2016) and in this data file. Additionally, ‘Regional’ represents all National Forests combined.

abbrev = Unique four-letter abbreviation for bird species name or bird guilds (e.g. habitat [hab], nesting [nest], and migration [mig] guilds). NOTE: the four-letter codes change occasionally and should be crosswalked with the most recent codes in the future. See Niemi et al. (2016) for code definitions and descriptions of these guilds and species membership, or \Data\species_codes.csv for a complete list of these four-letter abbreviations along with full scientific name and \Data\bird_guilds.csv for a description of the additional acronyms used.

taxorder = Unique identifier for each bird species from the 44th supplement to the American Ornithologists’ Union (AOU) Checklist of North American Birds. Users must be cognizant that the AOU often makes changes to these codes, common names, scientific names, abbreviations etc. //www.americanornithology.org/content/aou-checklist-north-and-middle-american-birds-7th-edition-and-supplements

stand = Unique set of locations surveyed annually in the Chippewa, Superior and Chequamegon National Forests and biennially in the Nicolet National Forest. There are usually 1-3 points within each stand where bird counts were conducted. Stand ID’s are often duplicated between the separate National Forests.

year = Year of sampling for given observations (1987-2011).

count = Total number of individual birds of given species detected at given stand in given year.
