Mangrove Landbird Survey Data

Listed in DataCite

Results of 10-minute bird surveys conducted throughout the mangroves of southern Florida from 2008 - 2011 by John Lloyd and Gary Slater of Ecostudies Institute.

Description

Surveys were conducted from April - June in each year, corresponding to the putative breeding season for most species in this assemblage. Full metholodological details availble in Lloyd and Slater 2014.

Description of data file: Point_ID: Unique number for each point. Note that in some cases a point surveyed in one year could not be revisited in subsequent years (e.g., because it became inaccessible) and so a new point, with a new number, was established as close as possible to the previous point. This happened primarily at Biscayne National Park.

Site_Nam: A descriptive name for the general location for each set of points. See Lloyd and Slater 2014 for methodology of setting points. X_Coord: UTM easting (Zone 17N) Y_Coord: UTM northing (Zone 17N) UTM_Zone: Which UTM zone do the coordinates refer to?

Note that this column was left blank as all points are within zone 17N. Datum: Which geodetic datum? Note that all data recorded in WGS84.

Sampling Period: Year and season in which survey occurred (all surveys are presumed breeding season). Survey Date: Date of survey. Start time: Time of day that survey began.

Observer initials: Initials of the observer. Interval: Interval in which the detection occurred. Intervals are 1-minute long.

Each survey is 10 minutes in length and made up of 10 intervals. AOUCode: 4-letter species code based on the standardized common English names. Distance: Estimated distance of detected bird from survey point. 1 = 0-25 m; 2 = 26-50 m; 3 = 51-100 m; 4 = 101-150m; 5 = >150m Number of birds: Number of birds detected.

Sex: Sex of bird, if known. Flyover: Number of birds detected flying over the point. Flyover detections have no data (blank) for the field "Number of birds".

DT: Type of detection. 1 = aural; 2 = visual; 4 = aural, then visual. Birds seen before heard are always recorded as DT = 2. Lloyd, J. D., and G. L. Slater. 2014.
