Herp Coverboard Sampling - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds324] Extended Table

These data are detections of reptiles in 2006 under 2 ft x 2 ft dimension plywood coverboards at four of the 15 sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. There are 81 coverboards in a 9 board by 9 board array (on 15 m spacing) centered on the sample points. Coverboards were placed in oak woodland and annual grassland habitat in November-December 2006 and checked on a bi-weekly basis between March-July 2006. All 204 animals found under the coverboards were counted, identified to species, and aged and sexed.
Harbor Seals [ds106]

In May of 2001, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) conducted an aerial photographic survey of the California coast and the offshore Channel Islands to obtain a minimum estimate of the population of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) living in California. The developed photographs were examined to count the number of harbor seals present and determine the location of each haul-out site by comparison to photos taken in previous surveys. This survey was successful in obtaining nearly complete coverage of all known haul-out areas. The 1995 survey was the last complete coverage. The total county for 2001 is 12,312 harbor seals. This result is the lowest ever recorded by CDFG for a combined count of the mainland and all offshore islands. The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) conducted two surveys in 2002 in an attempt to provide better coverage and to lessen the chances of weather related problems. A total of 16 days were scheduled for aerial surveys from May 19 to July 19, 2002. Total count for Survey 1 was 10,541 harbor seals, while that for Survey 2 was 8,374 harbor seals. Camera problems that produced un-readable film and poor weather conditions prevented a complete assessment by either survey. The lack of complete coverage by either Survey 1 or 2 limited the total number of harbor seals counted. This is especially true in areas where past surveys revealed high concentrations of seals such as the northern Channel Islands and Point Reyes - Sonoma County coast. The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) conducted two aerial surveys in 2003 in an attempt to provide better coverage and to lessen the chances of weather related problems. A total of 20 days were scheduled for aerial surveys from May 25 to July 20, 2003. Complete coverage was achieved in both surveys. This was the first time CDFG conducted these surveys using a digital imaging camera. Total count for Survey 1 was 17,415, while that for Survey 2 was 17,778 harbor seals.
Herp Searches - Spears and Didion Ranches [ds323]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>These data are detections of reptiles in 2005 from visual encounter searches of an area constrained to a 100-m radius circle around each of 15 fixed sample points at Spears and Didion Ranches, Placer County, California. Surveys were done three times in April and May by trained observers who searched the entire 100-m radius (3.1 ha) circular plot looking on and under rocks, logs, and debris for reptiles and amphibians. Fifty-eight detections were made of five species of reptiles and one species of amphibian.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
Western Grebe - Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) [ds237]

This data set contains basic observation information on Western Grebes in California and is provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). AKN is a joint venture including sponsors National Biological Information Infrastructure and National Science Foundation, and collaborators Cornell Lab of Ornithology, PRBO Conservations Science, Redwood Sciences Laboratory, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, and Bird Studies Canada. AKN collects, organizes, archives, and distributes avian data for various analytical purposes. This large (almost 20,000,000 observations to date) and comprehensive database provides a unified structure where data from multiple sources can be used together to produce more meaningful products. AKN also has developed applications to visualize temporal and spatial patterns of bird movements and numbers. These bird observations were made by professional birding consultants, ornithologists, researchers, and knowledgeable volunteers over the last few years. Most of their observations came from point counts from job sites, back yards, or from sites established to assess bird populations in specific locations or habitats throughout California. Protocols for the three programs that produce the most observations are on the web at: eBird - http://www.ebird.org/content/ Great Backyard Bird Count - http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/ Project FeederWatch - http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/ The dataset is limited in that the there is no observer provided for each record, the location is only accurate to a circular area equivalent to about one-sixteenth of a square mile, and a number of fields have only code values and the code definitions are not known.
Osprey Range - CWHR B110 [ds601]

Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for Californias wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

Mule Deer Migration Corridors, Pacific Herd - 2015-2020 [ds3142]

The project leads for the collection of these data were Shelly Blair (CDFW) and Jerrod Merrell (University of Nevada Reno). Mule deer (52 adult females) from the Pacific herd were captured and equipped with store-onboard GPS collars (Vectronic Plus Vertex Survey Iridium), transmitting data from 2015-2020. Pacific mule deer are found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada in eastern California and exhibit largely traditional seasonal migration strategies. This population migrates from a multitude of lower elevation areas in the foothills of El Dorado National Forest in winter westward into higher elevation summer ranges. Migrants vary in their movements from shorter (6 km) to longer (41 km) distances.GPS locations were fixed between 1-13 hour intervals in the dataset. To improve the quality of the dataset, the GPS data were filtered prior to analysis to remove locations which were fixed in 2D space and visually assessed as a bad fix by the analyst.The methodology used for this migration analysis allowed for the mapping of winter ranges and the identification and prioritization of migration corridors. Brownian Bridge Movement Models (BBMMs; Sawyer et al. 2009) were constructed with GPS collar data from 43 migrating deer, including 149 migration sequences, location, date, time, and average location error as inputs in Migration Mapper. The average migration time and average migration distance for deer was 7.79 days and 26.72 km, respectively. Corridors and stopovers were prioritized based on the number of animals moving through a particular area. Corridors and stopovers were best visualized using a fixed motion variance of 500 per sequence. Winter range was processed with a fixed motion variance of 1000. All products were produced at a spatial resolution of 50 m using a sequential fix interval of less than 27 hours. Winter range analyses were based on data from 32 individual deer and 54 wintering sequences. Winter range designations for this herd may expand with a la
