Point counts were conducted as part of a larger wetland inventory project. Wetlands in southern Yukon were visited between mid-May and mid-June, 2003. The objective was to conduct inventories of birds, in significant wetlands where little information was available on species other than waterfowl. Although comprehensive inventories were conducted, the surveys focused on several target species. These included rare southern Yukon shorebirds: Short-billed Dowitcher and Wilson’s Phalarope (Yukon Red list, Hoefs 2000), and Greater Yellowlegs (Yukon Blue list); and other wetland birds of concern, including Pied-billed Grebe (Yukon Blue list) and Rusty Blackbird (Partners in Flight Watch List, PIF 2004). This project was a reconnaissance survey designed to address some of the information gaps for wetland birds in southern Yukon, particularly rare wetland birds. A diversity of survey and inventory techniques was used, and coverage of each area visited was limited by access, and therefore somewhat opportunistic. Point counts were used where time and logistics permitted, in order to get a general idea of how densities of birds compare those at other sites in southern Yukon which have been…
