14 Bird Conservation Regions
Bird Conservation Region 17
We obtained results for Bird Conservation Region 17 by compiling and jointly analyzing data from 30 strata.
Field technicians completed 158 of 157 planned surveys (101%) in 2022. Technicians conducted 1778 point counts within the 158 surveyed grid cells between May 24 and July 18. They detected 187 bird species, including 45 priority species.
Bird Conservancy estimated densities and population sizes for 229 species that were detected in any year during which surveys were conducted, 61 of which are priority species. The data yielded robust density estimates (CV < 50%) for 69 species.
Bird Conservancy estimated the proportion of 1 km² grid cells occupied (Ψ, Psi) throughout Bird Conservation Region 17 for 229 species that were detected in any year during which surveys were conducted, 61 of which are priority species. The data yielded robust occupancy estimates (CV < 50%) for 120 species.
