avian population monitoring

Avian population monitoring involves systematically tracking bird numbers and distributions over time to assess their health and trends. This process often includes standardized surveys, such as counting birds at specific sites, using tools like bird feeders, nests, or visual observations. The goal is to detect changes in populations, identify declining or increasing species, and inform conservation efforts. Monitoring helps scientists understand how factors like habitat loss, climate change, or human activity impact birds, enabling informed decisions to protect and preserve avian biodiversity.
