www.pwrc.usgs.gov — Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is a project monitored by the USGS and the Canadian Wildlife Service on the status and trends of North American bird populations. The data can be used to estimate population trends and relative abundances at various scales. The BBS is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey's Patuxent Wildlife Research More...

www.werc.usgs.gov — The Aleutian archipelago of Alaska, which separates the North Pacific Ocean from the Bering Sea, supports a diverse and abundant community of resident and migratory seabirds, comprising over 26 species and 10 million birds. However, comparatively little data exist on sources of environmental contaminants for this community despite extensive More...

www.pwrc.usgs.gov — From the abstract: Environmental contaminants can have profound effects on birds, acting from the molecular through population levels of biological organization. An analysis of potential contaminant threats was undertaken at 52 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) within the northeastern Atlantic coast drainage. Using geographic information system More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — The need for a single source of information about the management of waterfowl and their habitat was originally suggested by the north-central region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Much of this information exists in scientific papers, unpublished reports, or has never been recorded, and thus is not readily accessible by waterfowl managers. More...

www.fort.usgs.gov — Identifying linkages between the seasonal habitats of migratory birds, especially neotropical migrants, is critical to conservation efforts and to effectively focus management actions. For most neotropical migrants, however, virtually nothing is known about which habitats are limiting, because the links between their seasonal habitats on different More...

www.umesc.usgs.gov — Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are evaluating a new way of monitoring movements and behavior of common loons. Miniature archival geolocator tags were attached to 18 adult common loons in northern Wisconsin this past summer.
