Phalarope Surveys Southern Bay of Fundy 2009 and 2010

These data represent surveys of phalaropes (Red-necked and Red: Phalaropus lobatus, Phalaropus fulicarius) that were completed in the outer Bay of Fundy, Canada during migratory stopover of July through October in 2009 and 2010. Aerial surveys were flown from an altitude of approximately 125m over an area comprising 1,600 square kilometers of marine habitat between Brier Island, Nova Scotia and Grand Manan, New Brunswick. A total of 28 transect lines, averaging 16km in length, were placed within two study areas near Grand Manan Island and Brier Island.

Observations of both phalarope species were obtained using line-transect distance-sampling methods. During surveys, observers recorded estimated flock size and downward viewing angle to the flock, which was used to calculate the flock distance from the track line. A total of 28 aerial surveys were completed across two years which were used to obtain abundance estimates for each study area on each survey day. Combined with information on length of stay derived from radio transmitter studies, these data were used to provide estimates of time-integrated stopover population of phalaropes for each study year. More detailed methods and results can be found in the publication: Hunnewell, R. W., A. W. Diamond, and S. C. Brown. 2016. Estimating the migratory stopover abundance of phalaropes in the outer Bay of Fundy, Canada. Avian Conservation and Ecology 11(2):11.

Aerial surveys of marine and coastal birds in Nunavik

In 2022, the federal government launched the second phase of the Oceans Protection Plan, a vast interdepartmental program designed to enhance marine safety in Canada by improving our ability to prevent and respond to marine incidents. For the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), this means filling gaps in our knowledge of marine and coastal bird species. In order to identify these gaps for the province of Quebec, we carried out a prioritization exercise in 2022. We concluded that major efforts needed to be made in the Nunavik marine region, since data were lacking in several sectors and for several species. Understanding the vulnerability of wildlife species over time and space will help us, among other things, to assess risks and act quickly and appropriately in the event of incidents affecting the marine environment, such as an oil spill or shipwreck. Another important objective of the Oceans Protection Plan is to implement sustainable partnerships with the Inuit in order to share our respective knowledge of migratory birds, develop joint projects and support Inuit-led marine bird projects.
It is in this context that aerial inventories aimed at identifying avian diversity, counting seabirds and coastal birds and better understanding their distribution at different times of the year have been taking place in Nunavik since 2023. These inventories are particularly aimed at sites of large gatherings, such as molting and staging areas, where birds are more vulnerable. During flights, the crew scans the sea, bays, river mouths and coasts for single birds or groups of birds. When birds are spotted, the number of individuals is estimated and a formal identification is made to the most precise taxonomic level possible, usually species or genus. In some cases, particularly for species that are more difficult to identify or in the case of very large groups, high-resolution photographs are taken to confirm identifications and estimates of the number of individuals a posteriori. Where possible, individuals are identified by age and sex. For the purposes of these inventories, flight-capable birds are considered adults unless immature plumage is easily identifiable from a moving aircraft. Thus, most ducks, as well as shorebirds, are considered adults as soon as they are able to fly. Occasionally, the aircraft lands on the ground for short periods to allow the team to refine the identification of the species, genus and age of the birds. These observations are then included in the database. Observations made over land, during various trips, are also recorded opportunistically.

North American Aerial Trumpeter Swan Survey for Yukon and northern British Columbia (1990 – 2015)

The abundance and distribution of Trumpeter Swan populations were assessed at five-year intervals with the North American Trumpeter Swan Survey. Aerial surveys, using either fixed-wing or helicopter, were conducted using the 1:50,000 topographic map grid in July - September 1990 – 2015 in the Yukon and northern British Columbia. Survey maps were selected using a stratified random sampling scheme starting in 1995 for the Yukon and 2010 in parts of BC based on the number of swans expected to occur in any map (buffer = 0 swans, low maps = 1-10 swans, medium = 11 – 49 swans, high = 50+ swans). Total counts of number of adult swans and their social status: single, paired, brood-rearing or flocked (non-breeding) and number of cygnets per brood was recorded.


Surveys have been conducted in the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. This project summarizes data from British Columbia and the Yukon between 1990 – 2015. 

Data for Alberta and the Northwest Territories will be published separately on the Government of Canada Open Data Portal.

CWS Atlantic Brant Observations

Brant are seasonally abundant in parts of Atlantic Canada during spring and fall migration periods as they travel between wintering grounds in the south and breeding grounds in the Arctic. In Atlantic Canada, surveys to monitor the abundance and distribution of this species are not typically conducted. However, due to their large size and flocking tendency, they are highly visible and easily counted during other surveys and by members of the public. As such, incidental sightings of Brant flocks may be used to monitor general patterns of abundance, distribution, and timing of migrations in the Maritimes. A database of incidental sighting records was created by first extracting observations of Brant from existing CWS Atlantic aerial survey datasets. This dataset is supplemented with additional data sources such as provincial data and social media (e.g., eBird and iNaturalist). The data span from 1925 to 2024, containing more than 12000 records. The minimum spatial resolution of each entry is based on Coastal Block IDs, though some records have more precise coordinates.

Semipalmated Sandpiper Aerial Surveys in the Bay of Fundy

This dataset describes aerial surveys of Semipalmated Sandpipers conducted over the Bay of Fundy in the years 1976, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2019, 2024, and 2025. The surveys were developed to estimate shorebird abundance and distribution along coastal areas that are difficult to access from the ground. Surveys are carried out using fixed-wing aircraft during high tide, when mudflats are flooded and shorebirds concentrate in roosting flocks, improving detectability and supporting consistent survey conditions. The coastline is divided into coastal blocks, defined using prominent geographic landmarks to create standardized and repeatable spatial units. Observers record total numbers of Semipalmated Sandpipers within each block. Survey methodology includes flying predetermined transects along the coastline, maintaining consistent altitude and airspeed, and conducting visual counts of shorebird flocks. Visual counts may also be proofed with photos. These standardized procedures support comparison across survey years. The resulting dataset provides information on the relative abundance and spatial distribution of migrating Semipalmated Sandpiper across the Bay of Fundy. These data support population assessments, long-term trend analysis, and identification of important stopover habitats, highlighting the Bay of Fundy as a key staging area for Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Evaluation of the CASSIOPE Contribution Program

The CASSIOPE Contribution Program was authorized for a five-year period on October 30, 2003. The project was extended due to the launch of the satellite being postponed several times. The launch took place in September 2013. The CASSIOPE mission combines three program elements: it provides for the integration of two payloads, the Cascade telecommunications demonstration payload and the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (ePOP) scientific payload, on a single generic Canadian small satellite (smallsat) bus.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) established two contribution agreements. One was with MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) and its subsidiary, Cascade Data Services Inc., for the overall CASSIOPE mission technology demonstration phase, which included the Cascade payload, integration of the ePOP payload, and phases C and D (development and manufacturing) of the smallsat bus. The other was with the University of Calgary for the ePOP payload.

Total funding of the CASSIOPE project was $75 million (plus $6 million for internal CSA costs). In addition, Industry Canada's Technology Partnerships Program provided an additional $48.6 million in funding to MDA via a separate contribution agreement.

The evaluation of the CASSIOPE contribution program on behalf of the CSA Audit and Evaluation Directorate was undertaken by Kelly Sears Consulting Group in partnership with Beechwood Consulting and Research Inc., BBMD Consulting Inc., and Hickling Arthurs Low Corp.
