As part of a larger study looking for fingerprints of climate change and for influences of climatic oscillations on bird migration we are in search of data. This may be your opportunity to use your birding data to contribute to an important scientific study.
The requirements are these - 1) We are primarily looking for data collected at a single location (park, refuge, etc.) rather than for a whole county/state. 2) The data need not have been collected by a single individual. If your bird club has been compiling records for a site then that will work as well. 3) The data needs to have been collected consistently throughout the migratory period. We need first dates, peak dates and last dates for spring and fall. However, we do not need all data from all sites. So, if you just have first date records that is fine. 3a) We are also interested in nesting records for a different study. 4) The data needs to have been compiled for at least 10 years and preferably 25 years. It also needs to be current through at least 2000. 5) Computerized data help. However, for a suitable data set we will computerize it for you. For an excceptional data set we will both computerize it and provide a copy of AviSys for you (with your data already entered on it). If you think you are interested or know of a suitable data set please reply to this email.
