Purpose: To provide information on habitat associations of migratory forest birds in the Dawson Land Use Planning region. Point counts were conducted in selected habitats within the Dawson LUP region. Potential suitable sites (map polygons) were selected based on EOSD habitat classification, then, depending on ease of road/foot access, point counts were conducted within a sub-selection of the polygons. Counts were done at multiple sites (polygons) in each habitat type. Stations were spaced at least 200m apart. A single round of 75m-radius point counts was conducted at each site. Each count was comprised of two, five minute periods to total 10 minutes. During each count, all birds detected by sight or sound within 75 m of the observer were recorded and positioned on a point count mapsheet. Detections were assigned to one of 4 distance bands – 0-25m, 25-50m, 50-75m, >75m. More details are available in the metadata document for download. CWS-North DatasetID: 040_0
