UCSB SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Wetland Performance Standard - Bird Food Chain Support

These data describe annual estimates of the density of feeding birds at four coastal wetlands as part of the SONGS San Dieguito Wetland Restoration monitoring program to track long-term patterns in food chain support provided to birds. This study began in 2012 in the San Dieguito Wetlands and Tijuana Estuary in San Diego County, CA, Carpinteria Salt Marsh in Santa Barbara County, CA, and Point Mugu Lagoon in Ventura County. Beginning in 2024, Tijuana Estuary was replaced with Los Penasquitos Lagoon in San Diego County, CA.
