Integrating Avian Datasets for Management, Modeling, and Visualization: Historical Waterbird Numbers

We present baseline population estimates for shorebirds, waterfowl, and other waterbirds derived from published and unpublished data and summaries. We also review, summarize and synthesize the results of studies (both published and unpublished) to describe baseline populations for selected species or groups of species. To describe baseline estimates, we present the results from some studies “as is” and have performed secondary analyses on summary data from other studies.
