Abstract
Avian species at risk (SAR) warrant reoccurring monitoring. Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4715.03 states, “To the extent practicable, all DoD Components shall establish policy and procedures for the management of SAR to prioritize proactive management of those species that, if listed, could adversely impact military readiness. Program objectives shall focus on efforts that have the greatest potential to prevent the listing of SAR (e.g., habitat conservation, planning level 2 surveys, monitoring). Protecting these species is critical; therefore, funding for SAR protection is a high priority. Avian survey implementation helps ensure airfield safety, identify species of special concern (SOSC), relative abundance, habitat preference, minimize military impacts and ensure long term species (sustainability);
