Purpose

Acquire robust, spatially-etrueplicit density or occupancy estimates for grassland, sagebrush, and riparian-associated birds: 10-15 Species of Concern in Montana, 5-15 Species of Greatest Conservation Concern in Idaho, and approtrueimately 70 more common landbird species; Link population estimates generated through the monitoring program to habitat conservation objectives at multiple spatial scales through ongoing modeling efforts, such as the Intermountain West Joint Venture HabPops modeling effort and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Crucial Areas and Corridors Assessment; Integrate etrueisting bird monitoring efforts in the region to provide better information on distribution and abundance of all breeding birds, especially for high priority species; Maintain a high-quality database that is accessible to all of our collaborators as well as to the public over the internet, in the form of raw and summarized data and; Generate decision support tools that guide conservation planning and delivery efforts and can ultimately provide improved assessments of conservation actions at multiple spatial scales.
