|a The colonial bird monitoring was conducted from a fixed-wing aircraft and/or helicopter every month of the year in south Florida national parks and nearby areas. The flight schedule alternates between 3 days of fixed-wing flights one month and 2 days of flights the next month, the first day by fixed-wing and the second day by helicopter. This schedule begins with 2-day flights in October. Observers are the pilot and wildlife biologist. The flights vary from month-tomonth according to nesting activity. The primary objective of the 3-day flights was to cover the entire monitoring area to locate new colony sites. All known colonies were also checked. The primary objective of the 2-day flights was to check all known or suspected colony sites.
The total number of nests of each species were estimated each month. Additional data were obtained by ground censuses. Both aerial and ground counts were used to determine nesting success. Colonial nesting species censused were Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Little Blue Heron, Louisiana Heron, White Ibis, 'American Wood Stork, Cattle Egret, Brown Pelican, Double-crested Cormorant and Laughing Gull. |
