A western state perspective on monitoring and managing neotropical migratory birds

Abstract

Neotropical migratory bird monitoring programs can contribute greatly to a more holistic and proactive management approach for state agencies. It is, however, imperative that these monitoring programs be scientifically designed and clearly communicated to managers. Information from monitoring programs can be used to develop multiple-species habitat management strategies, and declining populations can be detected before threatened and endangered species management is required.
