songbird species at the<br />

Camp Ripley Cemetery<br />

Goal<br />

Created 2009 Objectives<br />

1/1/2003 In 2009, conduct point-count surveys<br />

on 90 plots.<br />

In 2009, conduct pilot year research<br />

on bird monitoring stations (MAPS).<br />

In 2009, continue to analyze RTLA<br />

bird survey data, including<br />

population <strong>and</strong> species diversity<br />

trends, habitat comparisons <strong>and</strong><br />

correlations with types <strong>and</strong><br />

intensities of use, <strong>and</strong> management<br />

guidelines using LIDAR<br />

comparisons.<br />

In 2009, continue to annually update<br />

species lists of birds found on Camp<br />
