Vulnerability Analysis and Monitoring Program for Detecting Changes in San Francisco Bay Tidal Marsh Bird Populations

This project will design a monitoring program and protocol to detect the effects of climate change on tidal marsh bird population abundance and distribution. It is a companion to "Tidal Marsh Bird Population and Habitat Assessment for San Francisco Bay under Future Climate Change Conditions" and will build on its products, enabling evaluation of the long-term viability of four tidal-marsh bird species threatened by impacts of climate change: Clapper Rail, Black Rail, Common Yellowthroat, and Song Sparrow (three endemic subspecies: San Pablo, Suisun, and Alameda). Information will be available through the California Avian Data Center.
