UCSB SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Wetland Survey - Bird Feeding Activity

These data describe annual estimates of shorebird bird feeding activity, measured as the percentage of birds observed feeding, collected as part of the SONGS San Dieguito Wetland Restoration mitigation monitoring program designed to evaluate compliance of the restoration project with conditions of the SONGS permit.
Monitoring began in 2012 in the San Dieguito Wetlands and Tijuana Estuary in San Diego County, CA, Carpinteria Salt Marsh in Santa Barbara County, CA, and Point Mugu Lagoon in Ventura County.
Bird feeding activity was estimated for twenty plots in each wetland having at least one targeted shorebird species present on the ground.
Beginning in 2024, Tijuana Estuary was replaced with Los Penasquitos Lagoon in San Diego County, CA.

本数据集记录了滨鸟取食活动的年度估算值，该指标以观测到的取食滨鸟占总观测个体的百分比进行量化，数据采集自SONGS桑迪埃古托湿地修复补偿性监测项目。该项目旨在评估该湿地修复工程是否符合SONGS许可证的各项条款要求。监测工作于2012年正式启动，覆盖美国加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县的桑迪埃古托湿地与提华纳河口、圣巴巴拉县的卡皮特里亚盐沼，以及文图拉县的穆吉角泻湖共4处湿地。研究人员针对每处湿地内至少有一种目标滨鸟物种在地面活动的20个样地，开展滨鸟取食活动的量化估算。自2024年起，原监测点提华纳河口被替换为美国加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县的佩尼亚斯奎托斯泻湖。
