In 1998, RMBO, in conjunction with its funding partners, the Colorado Division of
Wildlife, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management, implemented
the first year of Monitoring Colorado’s Birds (MCB). MCB will provide statistically
rigorous long-term trend data for populations of most diurnal, regularly breeding
landbird species in Colorado, including several species listed by government and
non-government conservation organizations as species of concern. The program is
structured so that we obtain count-based data for all breeding landbird species
in the state on a randomized and habitat-stratified basis. Since 1999, we have implemented
the protocol in a total of 13 habitats and are successfully monitoring 40% of regularly
breeding landbird species in Colorado. (photo by Jeff Birek)
