This is the data archive for all recorded bird species and carcass counts
used to predict bird window collisions using weather radar in Stillwater,
Oklahoma.
Data was collected by morning (0700-0900 cst) bird carcass surveys around
17 buildings in Stillwater, Oklahoma during spring (April-May) 2015-2017
and fall (September-October) 2015-2016 migration seasons. Survey effort
and monitoring schedule were accounted for in carcass removal estimates.
Total, migrant, and non-migrant fatalities were summed for all buildings
for each date. Migrants were designated based on migratory status for
individual birds based on date of collision occurrence in the study area,
bird age, seasonal occurrence for species, and species-specific arrival,
migration, and departure dates for our study area. Experimental carcass
removal and surveyor detection trials conducted at the same buildings and
time were also used incorporated to generate adjusted nightly estimates of
migratory bird collisions that account for these biases.
