The United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s Division of Migratory Bird Management offers this cooperative agreement to the Audubon Society New York. This grant aims to improve landbird survey design and count methodology in managed and unmanaged grasslands under the Land Incentive Program. Audubon Society NY will conduct on-road and off-road surveys using advanced sampling methods. FWS will provide substantial involvement, offering guidance on survey design, training, and participating in data collection/analysis to model detection probability, occupancy, abundance, and density. This 15-month project will enhance critical landbird population data.

| Description: | The United States Fish and Wildlife Services Division of Migratory Bird Management intends to award a cooperative agreement with the Audubon Society New York to improve surveys of landbirds in grasslands managed and not managed under the Land Incentive Program (LIP).OverviewThe anticipated length of the project is a 15 month period. The FWS will consider continued funding for the project upon (a) the recipient showing progress satisfactory to the FWS toward program goals and the determination by the FWS that continuation of the program would be in the best interest of the Government or (b) the availability of funds. The total project period for this award will not exceed 15 months.RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENTAudubon Society NY will conduct landbird surveys in grasslands managed and not managed under LIP. Surveys will cover on-road (BBS routes) and off-road habitats using a combination of multiple-covariate distance sampling and removal-based repeated-count sampling methods. Since 2005, the Adubon Soceity of NY has been conducting grassland bird surveys in New York to assess the success of state and federal land incentive programs. The recipient is providing approximately 2:1 match funds for this project.FWS INVOLVEMENTSubstantial involvement on the part of FWS is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, FWS staff will provide guidance on survey design and count methodology. FWS will also provide training and participate in data collection and analysis to model and estimate detection probability, occupancy, abundance, and density in the surveyed area and region |
