Summary
This data release provides avian data for 11 songbird species (Bewick’s wren [Thryomanes bewickii], black-throated gray warbler [Setophaga nigrescens], Brewer’s sparrow [Spizella breweri], gray flycatcher [Empidonax wrightii], gray vireo [Vireo vicinior], green-tailed towhee [Pipilo chlorurus], juniper titmouse [Baeolophus ridgwayi], loggerhead shrike [Lanius ludovicianus], sagebrush sparrow [Artemisiospiza nevadensis], sage thrasher [Oreoscoptes montanus], and Townsend’s solitaire [Myadestes townsendi]) associated with summertime point count surveys conducted throughout the InterMountain West under the Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) program, 2008 - 2020. Additionally, remotely sensed environmental data [...]
Summary
This data release provides avian data for 11 songbird species (Bewick’s wren [Thryomanes bewickii], black-throated gray warbler [Setophaga nigrescens], Brewer’s sparrow [Spizella breweri], gray flycatcher [Empidonax wrightii], gray vireo [Vireo vicinior], green-tailed towhee [Pipilo chlorurus], juniper titmouse [Baeolophus ridgwayi], loggerhead shrike [Lanius ludovicianus], sagebrush sparrow [Artemisiospiza nevadensis], sage thrasher [Oreoscoptes montanus], and Townsend’s solitaire [Myadestes townsendi]) associated with summertime point count surveys conducted throughout the InterMountain West under the Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) program, 2008 - 2020. Additionally, remotely sensed environmental data used in analyses, summarized at various spatial extents, is included in this data release. Finally, we provide code written in the R programming language to model avian abundance as a function of environmental covariates, evaluate model output for fit and chain convergence, and summarize model results in both table and figure formats.

Data included herein were summarized and formatted for modeling songbird abundance as a function of environmental covariates, population trends over time, and spatial scales of selection. These data are appropriate for reproducing analyses associated with density-habitat relationship modeling efforts described in the larger work.
