Summary

This dataset consists of three tables relating to (1) detections of adult McKay's Buntings from line transect with distance estimation surveys on St. Matthew and Hall islands in Alaska between May 30 and June 29, 2003 and June 6 and 11, 2018, (2) environmental covariates associated with detections of adult McKay's Buntings in less than or equal to 250-m long contiguous transect segments, and (3) environmental covariates used to predict McKay's Bunting population size in less than or equal to 300 x 300-m pixels across the study area in each year, and to estimate population change between years.

Purpose

These data were collected to (1) estimate McKay's Bunting population size in 2003 and 2018, (2) measure change in McKay's Bunting population size between years, and (3) identify environmental covariates associated with McKay's Bunting population size and population change.
