- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Park Service (NPS) under the Natural Resource Stewardship program (CFDA #15.944) engages the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO), a non-profit organization, to determine trends in bird communities within six national parks in southern Oregon and northern California from 2026-2028. The $139,325.80 project will involve field crews surveying breeding bird populations to identify species present, assess their relative abundance, and monitor population...
- The National Park Service Pacific West Region awarded a $204,898 cooperative agreement to Klamath Bird Observatory to support landbird monitoring, analysis, and reporting activities across Klamath Network parks from September 2021 through September 2026. This award will fund the sixth round of visits by the recipient to conduct point count surveys and gather population data on landbird species located within all National Park System units overseen by the Klamath Network, in alignment with the...
- This $299,999.63 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Park Service (CFDA 15.945 - Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System) to The Institute for Bird Populations will benefit the public by promoting broader understanding of protocols and standards for assessing bird populations on public lands. The project will train a post-doctoral researcher and involve long-term monitoring of bird populations in national parks to inform future management...
- The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded Klamath Bird Observatory, a non-profit organization, a $199,782.11 Cooperative Agreement under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (CFDA 15.234) program on April 1, 2024. The objective of this 2-year project is to study the effects of invasive blackberry density on riparian bird abundance, territory density, nest success, nestling growth rates, and local insect abundance. The findings will help determine if removal...
- This $144,768 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247) provides funding to the Institute for Bird Populations to conduct avian research and monitoring in the Richfield Field Office of Utah. The purpose is to document the presence and seasonal trends of pinyon jay and other pinyon-juniper-sagebrush ecosystem bird species across areas that have undergone pinyon-juniper removal...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247), provides $400,000 in funding to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory dba Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. The funding will support expanding the organization's Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) program to conduct additional bird surveys on BLM lands in Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. The expanded monitoring will provide robust...
- This $185,346 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program will evaluate the effectiveness of climate-adaptive forest management strategies in sustaining habitat for priority bird species and maximizing carbon storage in Northeastern forests. The key activities include: Field-based assessments of forest-dependent bird responses to climate-adaptive silviculture practices on lands managed...
- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded a $198,880.46 Cooperative Agreement to the Great Basin Bird Observatory, a non-profit organization, under the Department of the Interior's Wildlife Resource Management program (CFDA 15.247). The funding supports the integration of wildlife occurrence data, specifically land bird data, into BLM's Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) program across 125-150 sites in the Great Basin region. Key objectives include: Collecting land bird occurrence...
- This $160,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Park Service's Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) supports long-term monitoring of landbird populations across 13 national park units in the Northern Great Plains region. The awardee, the non-profit Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, will implement a standardized regional bird monitoring program using the Integrated Monitoring in Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) sampling...
- This Project Grant award of $1,185,931.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to examine the connection between migratory timing and resource availability in songbirds. The project aims to (1) estimate the plasticity and adaptation for migratory timing, (2) examine the molecular basis of this trait, and (3) integrate these findings into predictive models to help...
THE KLAMATH BIRD OBSERVATORY OPERATES THE LONGEST-RUNNING LONG-TERM BIRD BANDING PROJECT IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, IT HAS PRODUCED DOZENS OF PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC PAPERS AND HAS TRAINED 120 STUDENT INTERNS OVER ITS 32 YEARS OF OPERATION. BY MONITORING BIRD COMMUNITIES ACROSS TIME WITH VITAL DATA, THIS PROJECT PRODUCES SCIENCE THAT DIRECTLY INFORMS NOT JUST THE PATTERNS BUT ALSO THE CAUSES OF MIGRATORY BIRD POPULATION AND HABITAT CHANGE. THIS WORK IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE ONGOING DECLINES OF SPECIES AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE INFORMATIVE DATA TO THE FOREST SERVICE IN IMPLEMENTING FOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNING WHICH INCLUDES TIMBER SALE AND FIRE MITIGATION ACTIONS ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS AWARD WILL FUND KLAMATH BIRD OBSERVATORY PERSONNEL TIME AND SUPPLY COSTS FOR RECRUITING INTERNS, INTERN STIPENDS, AND BIRD BANDING SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS FOR USE THROUGHOUT THE INTERNSHIP.
