Santa Fe Watershed Fuels Reduction Project: Avian Point Counts

Data were collected during a fuels reduction project conducted by the Santa Fe National Forest in the Santa Fe Municipal Watershed from 2002 to 2007. Fuel reduction includes mechanical thinning, burning of piles and broadcast burning though only a small portion of the study area was burned during wildlife monitoring. In addition to areas thinned, we collected data in adjacent areas that were not actively managed. Data include live-trapping of small mammals, avian point counts, avian nest monitoring, and vegetation structure and composition. This data publication contains the avian point counts conducted from 2002 to 2007, along with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates of point count locations.
From the point counts, we intend to estimate avian populations and evalute the impact of thinning on these species.
