Purpose: To monitor breeding songbird populations on long-term monitoring sites in order to detect population trends and estimate annual variation. Point counts were conducted on Kluane Ecological Monitoring Program (KEMP) study sites, which are laid out in transects. A single round of 75m-radius point counts was conducted at each site, each year. 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 five distance bands (0 to 25m, 25 to 50m, 50 to 75m, 75 to 100m, beyond 100m). Complete bilingual metadata including detailed survey design, protocols and data dictionaries are available in downloadable files. CWS-North DatasetID: 060_0
