Klamath Network Landbird Monitoring Protocol

This protocol narrative outlines the rationale, sampling design, and methods for monitoring landbirds in the Klamath Inventory and Monitoring Network (KLMN or the Network) of the National Park Service (NPS). It has been prepared in accordance with NPS guidance and standards (Oakley et al. 2003, Mohren 2007, and Sarr et al. 2007). The KLMN includes Crater Lake National Park (CRLA), Lassen Volcanic National Park (LAVO), Lava Beds National Monument (LABE), Oregon Caves National Monument (ORCA), Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP), and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (WHIS), hereafter known collectively as the parks. The parks, located in southern Oregon and northern California, extend across a broad range of topography, elevation, and corresponding climate and vegetation. This region is recognized for its rich biodiversity, which is represented by a diverse bird fauna (Trail et al. 1997, DellaSala et al. 1999).
