Notes

Abstract:
The colonial bird monitoring system has been developed to provide systematic coverage of colonial birds nesting in south Florida national parks. Coverage includes Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Monument, Big Cypress National Preserve, and nearby areas. Species monitored are Great White Herons, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Louisiana Herons, Little Blue Herons, Cattle Egrets, White Ibis, Wood Storks, Brown Pelicans, Double-crested Cormorants, Laughing Gulls and Least Terns. The purpose of the monitoring system is to provide information on population status sufficient to determine yearly variation in numbers of nesting birds and to detect long-term trends in the population status of colonial birds in south Florida national parks.
