1 Regional Monitoring of Restoration Outcomes on the Sacramento: the Central Valley Floodplain Forest Bird Survey Michelle Gilbert, Nat Seavy, Tom Gardali, Catherine Hickey PRBO Conservation Science Middle Sacramento River Conference 3 June 2013
2 Outline Birds as indicators and metrics of restoration success The Central Valley Floodplain Forest Bird Survey Legacy site monitoring Regional monitoring Preliminary results Conservation applications
3 Why riparian songbirds? They are targets of conservation action Across the Central Valley, over 98% of historic riparian vegetation lost in the last 150 years Urbanization, Agriculture, Altered hydrology Dramatic changes in wildlife abundance and ecosystem function Restoration efforts: focal species or guilds
4 Why riparian songbirds? They are indicators of ecosystem function from Baxter et al. 2005, Freshwater Biology Focal species: selected as surrogates for larger community Managing for focal birds Restoring ecosystem function
5 What do we want? Targets Conservation targets motivate why we do monitoring: Target Density: Performance metrics for restoration project(s) Valley Basin Target Birds/Hectare Restorable Riparian Hectares Target Population Size American ,491 44,897 Butte ,963 77,704 Target Population Size: Restoration sum, or how much is enough? Sacramento Sutter , ,380 Colusa ,123 43,064 Yolo ,678 37,105 Delta Delta ,640 20,392 San Joaquin San Joaquin ,240 28,984 Tulare ,408 2,436
6 Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership Focus: protect and restore critical habitats for migratory birds in 3 priority regions of California. Central Valley Floodplain Forest Bird Survey (CVFFBS) is a product of this collaboration Motivation for survey design Site specific monitoring to evaluate effectiveness of project(s). Regional monitoring to show cumulative impact of restoration efforts.
7 CVFFBS: Survey Objectives Legacy sites 1) Monitor riparian bird density at restoration sites with longterm monitoring; evaluate restoration project performance Regional sites (Valley-wide) 1) Estimate regional densities within current riparian forest for as many species as possible 2) Track changes in regional bird populations in a manner that accounts for regional density and total area of riparian forest
8 CVFFBS: Survey Design Legacy (Historic) Sites: Sacramento NWR complex San Luis NWR complex Key sites: long-term data exist; Represent a range of conditions Sacramento Valley = 66 remnant, 77 restored Over 230 point count locations
9 CVFFBS: Survey Design Regional Sites: Middle Sacramento River mainstem San Joaquin River mainstem GRTS approach: spatially-balanced random sample. 120 point count sites Comprehensive sample: yields overall density estimates, regardless of status, ownership, or other factors. Used information on current riparian vegetation along the rivers: Geographical Information Center Medium-Scale Central Valley Riparian Vegetation.
10 Broad coverage of the Central Valley Successful survey in 2012: Essential baseline information Breeding season surveys (May-June) Point count methods Record detections, distances, of all birds Analyses: Distance Legacy + Regional = Over 350 sites sampled across the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys
11 Central Valley Floodplain Forest Bird Survey Many uses for these data! 1. Are individual & overall restoration efforts meeting conservation targets? 2. What is the bird community response? 3. Status: Regionally, what are focal species densities? 4. Trends: How are focal species densities changing?, and is there progress towards conservation targets? 5. Population, size & trends?
12 Are overall restoration efforts meeting species targets? (YES) Spotted Towhee density, by restoration year, all legacy sites combined.
13 Riparian Bird Index: Community metric Species richness, weighted by habitat association
14 Is the bird community responding to restoration efforts? (YES)
15 Regional surveys Regional species status Legacy monitoring: Restoration project(s) performance. Are we providing functional riparian bird habitat? Regional monitoring: Benchmarks & bird status, not sitespecific, but across the Central Valley. How does this relate to our conservation targets?
16 Are densities in current riparian close to CVJV targets? (YES) Yellow Warbler Song Sparrow Common Yellowthroat Spotted Tohwee Black-headed Grosbeak Focal Species Density estimates (2012) relative to CVJV Targets Percent (%) of CVJV Target Over time, how are focal species densities changing?
17 Regional Population Size & Tracking Sacramento River Population Estimate: Population Species Density Riparian area (birds/ha) (hectares) size 1 (estimated) Spotted Towhee ,960 63,602 Black-headed Grosbeak ,960 29,854 1: CVRMP layer Area in focal buffer only Long-term tracking: understand how the overall population is changing Species-specific responses? Community stability?
18 Conservation Application of CVFFBS A second year of this survey effort is currently underway. Evaluating restoration success Updating population targets Conservation guidance & adaptive management Making restoration climate smart Focal & common species, community index Rare species information
