ALASKA BREEDING BIRD SURVEYS - 1985 SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

1985 was the fourth consecutive year that the Nongame Wildlife Program organized Breeding Bird Surveys (BBS) in Alaska. Prior to our in­volvement, surveys were only done sporadically. In the "Lower 48" states and Canada surveys have been conducted regularly since 1965. All survey information is stored on computer by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland.

The purpose of the surveys is to document changes in the size of bird populations. This can only be accomplished if many surveys are con­ducted accurately over a wide area of the bird's habitat. Because of Alaska's large size, poor access to remote areas and few numbers of competent observers, the data gathered are less accurate in deter­mining trends in population size.

METHODS

The same standard methods as described in the 1982 and 1983 Alaska Breeding Bird Surveys summaries were used in 1985.

RESULTS

In 1985, 30 different routes were surveyed with the help of 49 volun­teers (Table 1). Four routes were run twice (Kodiak, Chiniak, Moose Pass, and Little Salcha). Seven routes were new to the survey (Chiniak, Savage, Galena-Campion, Yukon River-Bear Creek, Nancy Lake, Kugarak, and Selawik).

On the34 routes run, 164 species were observed (Table 2). The number of species per 25 mi route ranged from 14 (Little Salcha) to 44 (Seward). The total number of individuals observed per 25 mi route ranged from 219 (Savage) to 1, 000 (Juneau alternate). The Juneau alternate route was boosted by a flock of 335 Bonaparte's Gulls and a flock of 355 Marbled Murrelets.

Once again, the American Robin was seen or heard on the most routes ­26 out of 30 (Table 2). A robin was even recorded on the Chiniak route near Kodiak, where it is considered a rare bird. However, more Varied Thrushes were recorded than any other species (637 individuals from 23 routes). Species recorded this year for the first time were Boreal Owl (Chena Hot Springs Road) and Saw-whet Owl (Harlequin Lake).

DISCUSSION

A late spring and rainy weather throughout most of June hampered many surveys. Adak surveyors endured 5 false starts before they were finally able to complete the route on 20 June. Kotzebue surveyors were not as successful -- they were stopped by a snowdrift after only 12 stops.

Although several routes were altered this year to alleviate traffic noise or safety problems, a few routes still suffer with these prob­lems. Seward surveyors actually tabulated passing vehicles to docu­ment the problem. A timing rule needs to be developed to allow better survey results in areas that are hampered by periodic traffic noise. Habitat classifications also need revisions in some areas, especially logged areas of southeast Alaska.

Routes that are surveyed repeatedly by the same senior observer have the most potential for providing valuable data on breeding bird popu­lation trends. Special recognition is due to those birders who have volunteered for surveys every year since 1982: Fred Zeillemaker (Adak), Christian Dau (Cold Bay), Marjorie Ward (Sitka), Mary Portner (Skilak Loop and Swan Lake Road), Herman Griese (Sheep Mountain) Junior Kerns (Little Salcha), and Stacy Scott (Elmendorf and others). For three of the past four years, Tom Kogut, Marlys Tedin, Rich Macintosh, Jeff Allen, Frank Glass, Mark Kissel, Bruce Dinneford, Betty Bair, Kathy Quilliam, Rick Sinnott, Ruth McHenry, Irma O'Brien, Buzz Scher, Paul Arneson, David Krause, Kent Hall, and Beverly Minn have volunteered. We appreciate everyone's interest and partici­pation.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game will not be coordinating future ~reeding Bird Surveys. We appreciate the effort all of the volunteers have put into this program, and hope that enthusiasm will continue under the coordination of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland.
