San Francisco Bay Area National Parks Marin Landbird Monitoring

The National Park Service (NPS) intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement to Point Blue Conservation Science for the project titled "San Francisco Bay Area National Parks Marin Landbird Monitoring." The project aims to collect long-term data on the status and trends of landbirds on NPS lands in Marin County. The objectives of this project are to conduct point counts for riparian landbirds in San Francisco Bay Area National Parks, perform quality assurance/quality control procedures on data, and submit financial, performance, and progress reports. Some key points about this project include: • The project will generate data to provide context to NPS natural resource management programs. • The project will assist managers to identify best practices to manage land and water resources, particularly birds and their habitats. • The project will provide information to enrich NPS education programs by building greater knowledge of current resource conditions. • The project will be conducted primarily in Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area with a few sites in Muir Woods National Monument and Marin County Open Space District.
