Laguna Riparian Bird Study
The aim of our long-term volunteer-based bird monitoring program is to learn about the diversity, and abundance of the resident and migrating birds in the Laguna Middle Reach between Highway 12 and Occidental Road, where the Laguna Foundation is restoring Riparian zones and oak woodlands (see Middle Reach Restoration for more info).
Since November 2006 our volunteers continually survey predetermined monitoring sites via the area search method, a standardized method using a specified science-based protocol. This assures that we consistently gather high quality data. The bird monitoring program will establish a good baseline of the bird community in this ecosystem and will help us to evaluate restoration success in the Laguna Middle Reach restoration area in the future. If you are interested in more information or would like to participate please contact Christina Sloop at christina@lagunfoundation.org
