PARTNERS IN FLIGHT SEEKS Comments on Landbird Population Estimates-

Partners in Flight (URL: http://www.PartnersInFlight.org) has produced a 
database of population estimates for landbirds that regularly breed in the U.S. 
and Canada (URL: http://rmbo.org/pif_db/laped/). The database provides users 
access to the estimates of landbird populations published in the North American 
Landbird Conservation Plan (Rich et al. 2004), allows users to view and 
download estimates for landbird populations at a variety of geographic scales, 
and provides transparent access to the methodologies, assumptions, data 
sources, and species-specific adjustment factors used to generate these 
estimates. The "Guide to the PIF Population Estimation Database," also 
available on the web site, provides complete details and guidelines for using 
this resource. Partners in Flight is actively working to revise these 
population estimates and is seeking input and relevant data from throughout the 
bird-conservation community. Feedback may include completely independent 
population estimates for any species for any of our geographic units, comments 
on the adjustment factors for particular species, or anything else you think 
might help.
