Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The ecology and population trends of secretive marsh birds are virtually unknown for the coastal marshes along the Gulf of Mexico Coast. Thus, in 2005, staff at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve established a monitoring and research program to better understand the status, distribution, and habitat associations of these bird species. In 2004, 40 marsh bird sampling stations were randomly located across the Grand Bay NERR. Since the spring/summer of 2005, three replicate surveys have been conducted at each using the standardized National Marsh Bird Monitoring Protocol. Briefly, observers broadcast the calls of marsh birds to elicit response of these secretive birds. During the survey period, observers record the species, call type, distance, and directions of each individual bird detected. Birds included in this monitoring effort include Black Rail Least Bittern, King Rail, Clapper Rail, Common Moorhean, Purple Gallinule, American Coot, Pied-billed Grebe, Marsh Wrens, Common Yellowthroat, Seaside Sparrow, Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, and Boat-tailed Grackle.
