Dike 14-Doan Brook IBA: Avian Survey Project

Monitoring Protocol
Systematic Bird Species Monitoring at Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve
Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society, Kirtland Bird Club, Audubon Society of Great Cleveland
Revised 16 March 2015
Overview
In 2000, the National Audubon Society designated Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve (CLNP), also
known as Dike 14, as an Important Bird Area because the area provides essential habitat for migratory,
breeding, and wintering birds. CLNP is located at the intersection of four migratory bird routes: Lake
Erie, the Lake Erie shoreline, the Cuyahoga River Valley, and the Doan Brook Valley. Over time, its
diverse habitats have sustained 280 species of birds, 41 species of butterflies, and many mammals.
In 2012 the Cleveland-Cuyahoga Port Authority changed the areas name from Dike 14 to Cleveland
Lakefront Nature Preserve and opened CLNP to the public. In 2014, Western Cuyahoga Audubon
Society, Kirtland Bird Club, and the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland adopted CLNP as a site for
on-going monitoring of bird activity and initiated this Avian Survey Project.
The Avian Survey Project has been developed in coordination with Black Swamp Bird Observatory.
Data are collected according to standardized protocols so that they can be compared to data collected at
other research stations in the region and will provide valid long-term monitoring. This document
describes the monitoring protocols for the site.
Procedures
Overview: Two basic methods are used to survey avian activity at CLNP: point counts and a daily
checklist. Point counts are performed at a series of 17 fixed points at the site. The observer(s) records
all birds seen or heard during a 5 minute count at each designated point. The daily checklist consists of
a list of all birds seen or heard while the observer is at CLNP, whether or not the bird is observed
during a point count.
Point Locations: The attached map shows the 17 point count locations. Count locations were
established to monitor each of the different habitats at the site and to provide a thorough, nonoverlapping survey. All points are located on the existing trails. Each point is marked by a green metal
post, with the point number indicated on the post. Posts usually have brightly-colored flagging
attached, but flagging may be missing some of the time. Descriptions of the point locations and GPS
coordinates for the points are included on the attached point location table.
Ideally, all points should be surveyed by some observer during every survey. Points may be surveyed
in any order. If it is not possible to survey all points on a given day, observers are encouraged to
conduct partial surveys. There are two defined half routes that may be surveyed (see below), or the
observer may survey any subset of points.
The defined half routes are as follows: The West Route consists of Points 1-10. The East Route
consists of Points 1-3, 6, and 10-17. Note that these two routes overlap at points 1-3 , 6, and 10. Teams
that use these routes to split up for the survey should either survey these points together or agree upon
which team will survey the overlapping points.

Observers: We ask that at least one observer from each party have a good knowledge of the appearance
and songs of the birds that may be observed. Any number of observers may participate in point counts
and in preparing the daily checklist. All observers must sign the attached release form in order to
submit data.
Note that that observers are responsible for their own personal safety during the survey. Neither the
Cleveland-Cuyahoga Port Authority, the Cleveland Metroparks, Kirtland Bird Club, Western
Cuyahoga Audubon Society, Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland, nor any other entity or individual
accepts any responsibility for observer safety. In an emergency, dial 911 or contact the Cleveland
Metroparks Ranger Department emergency number 440-333-4911 (non-emergency number 440-3315530). Note that CLNP is not part of Cleveland Metroparks. However, some Metroparks Rangers are
stationed at the Metroparks building at the entrance to CLNP.
Survey Timing: Sunrise is the best time to perform the point counts, and every attempt should be made
to conduct the surveys at or near sunrise. However, a survey may be run at any time of day when a
sunrise survey is not possible. When possible, conduct counts in good weather, avoiding days with
more than very light rain or wind greater than 10 mph. Note, however, that more data are better than
fewer data if you can only make it to CLNP on a single day and want to do a survey, do it regardless
of the weather and the time of day!
Regardless of when you plan to survey, please sign up for your survey time using the CLNP Survey
Google Calendar1 or let Laura Gooch know when you plan to be at the site (lgooch@alum.mit.edu,
216-932-1002). You may view the calendar online at http://www.wcasohio.org/1_Stage/preserve/14clnp-surveys2 if you wish to check when surveys are being done by others without logging in to your
own calendar. Your help with entering your times into the calendar will allow us to make sure that we
have enough survey coverage, and it will allow you to make your survey effort count by avoiding
double coverage when possible. You can survey at the same time as another surveyor if that is the only
time that fits your schedule, but you may want to coordinate with them.
Point Count Protocol:
At each point, count all birds seen or heard during a five minute uninterrupted period,
beginning as soon as you arrive at the point.
If you cannot avoid being interrupted, you may stop the count timer and resume the time when
the interruption has passed.
For each bird observed, note age and sex if possible, as long as noting this does not distract you
from your overall count.
Note any breeding behaviors you observe if you can do so without having this distract you from
your overall count. See the attached Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas (OBBA) codes for breeding

Instructions for using the Google Calendar are available on request.

behavior information. You do not need to note the low-level behaviors shown in blue on the
code sheet (e.g.: counter-singing or presence during safe dates) unless the species is an unusual
breeding bird for CLNP.
If you cannot identify a bird as to species, identify it to the lowest taxonomic level possible and
note it as such (e.g. woodpecker sp. or warbler sp.).
Count birds flushed within 50 m of the point as you approach as being at the point. If you do
not see the bird again during the count, note this.
If you observe a flock during the count, you may follow it for a short time (less than 5 minutes)
after the count to determine its size and composition.
If there are large flocks of birds on the lake, you may wish to estimate flock size after your
main count is over. If you do this, be sure to only include birds that you saw during the count
period. Remember that CLNP itself is the main focus of this survey. Avoid being too distracted
by activity on the lake, and only count birds on the lake that are identifiable by binoculars and
within a few hundred meters of CLNP.
If a bird gives an unknown song or call during a count, you may attempt to track it down after
the count for identification.
Do not re-count birds seen or heard at one point and then seen again at another point. For
example, if a Red-tailed Hawk is circling over the area, you might see the bird at several points.
Count it only once. When in doubt, count the bird twice and note that you think it might be the
same individual.
Record birds that are flying over the area, rather than occupying the site itself, as flybys. If
you see a bird that typically uses the habitat overhead and you think its just moving around the
area (rather than passing by), you should not record it as a flyby. If you have some birds of a
given species that you think are flybys and some that you think are resident, you can make two
entries for the species at the point with appropriate notations.
Record birds that are on the lake, rather than at the site itself, as lake. See additional notes
from the bullet above for further information. As mentioned above, limit your count of birds on
the lake to those that are within binocular ID range.
Indicate birds that you see at the site but outside the fence line (and not on the lake) with a note
to that effect. Limit your count of birds outside CLNP to those within about 100 meters of
CLNP.
Do not use anything to attract birds or otherwise distort the count. You may pish or use other
means to attract and identify unknown birds if you saw or heard them during the count, but not
until after the count interval is over.
Note birds that you see while you are at CLNP, but that are not observed during any point
count, for inclusion on the daily checklist.

Move fairly briskly from point to point. Do not spend too much time during the survey trying to
identify unknown species. You may return to a point after all points have been surveyed to
further investigate a bird if necessary.
Record all data on the attached field form. The field data forms are also included in the data
entry spreadsheet. There are three different version of the form: Concise, which does not
include columns for notes and has space for three points on each page, Concise Slow Day,
which has space for fewer species at each point and is generally suitable for use during the
winter, and Expanded, which includes a column for notes and has space for only two points on
each page. You may use any version.
Data Submittal: Enter point count and checklist data for each survey in the CLNP data entry Excel
workbook. If you need a copy of the Excel file, contact Laura Gooch at lgooch@alum.mit.edu;
telephone 216-932-1002. Instructions for data entry are included in the spreadsheet. Submit the
completed Excel spreadsheet (the whole workbook, with instructions, etc.) to Laura at that email
address. If you do not wish to enter the data yourself, you may submit your paper or scanned forms to
Dick Hoffman at oldrah@gmail.com; telephone 216-932-0877.
If possible, also scan and submit electronic copies of your field forms to Laura when you submit your
electronic data. If you do not wish to scan your field forms, please retain them for at least a year so that
we can refer to them if questions about your observations arise.
Please submit your data as soon as possible after you survey, preferably within a week. Your effort
will be most valuable and well have better data quality if you do!
Rarities: If you think you have seen or heard a rare bird, do your best to document your sighting with
either a photograph or a recording. Make good notes about the sighting. Contact other observers to
verify your sighting if you think it is appropriate. For more information about documenting rare birds,
see the Ohio Ornithological Society web page: http://www.ohiobirds.org/site/committee/rarebird.php
