► Methods
- Current Methods
- Bird counts
- Started: 1991-06-01
- Method Description: Counts began shortly aftern dawn on days where weather conditions were unlikely to reduce count numbers (i.e., calm winds and very light or no rain).
- Started: 1991-06-01
- Point count intervals
- Started: 1991-06-01
- Method Description: Observers recorded all birds seen and heard during a 10-min sampling period, which was divided into 3 time intervals: 3, 2 and 5 minutes. Observers noted in which time interval each bird was first encountered, and placed birds into one of 2 distance categories (within or beyond 50 m).
- Started: 1991-06-01
- Elevation-dependent sampling
- Started: 1999-05-01
- Method Description: The number of surveys at each site was dependent on elevation; montane fir-spruce sites were sampled once, LBWA and Underhill were sampled twice during the breeding season.
- Started: 1999-05-01
► Sampling Equipment
- Current Equipment
- Net
- Sampling Description: 500 micron mesh D-frame net
► Site Characteristics
- Site Description: An additional transect established in 1995 in Ranch Valley at 3300 ft.
- Site Description: Two transects established in 1991 on Mount Mansfield: One in Browns River Headwaters in mature northern hardwoods and one at summit in spruce-fir ridgeline forest.
- Site Description: Transects at Lye Brook established in 1999 in northeast area at 680 m elevation in northern hardwood forest.
