Developing Techniques to Census and Monitor Colonial Waterbirds with Automated Digital Image Processing and Perimeter-Ground Surveys [SSP Proposal].

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: The goal of this proposal is to develop methods for estimating the size of breeding populations for different waterbird species and to provide protocols for monitoring colonial species at a remote nesting colony. The specific objectives of this study are: 1) to develop, assess, and evaluate the accuracy of an automated, pixel-based mapping method to estimate populations of American White Pelicans, Double-crested Cormorants, and gulls at Chase Lake NWR, and 2) to develop, assess, and evaluate the accuracy of a perimeter-count method to estimate populations of egrets and herons at Chase Lake NWR. Development of survey techniques will enhance the capability of the USFWS for detecting disease events and monitoring colonial waterbirds at Chase Lake and other National Wildlife Refuges. Pages 1-5 contain the proposal, page 6 offers approvals and submittal, and pages 7-10 outline the budget.; abstract: The goal of this proposal is to develop methods for estimating the size of breeding populations for different waterbird species and to provide protocols for monitoring colonial species at a remote nesting colony.
