Survey Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of the survey was to provide information for the park managers about the species and populations of birds that occur at the Albany Neck and Bulb and the habitats on which they depend.

The survey objectives were to conduct field observations and determine:

Which bird species and how many individuals were present in the study area.
How their abundance varied throughout a calendar year.
In what habitats the species were typically found.
What feasible habitat improvements would support a greater diversity and abundance of resident, migratory, breeding, and wintering birds.
What trail improvements would make the Neck and Bulb safe and accessible for passive recreation.
