Santa Cruz Island Reserve

Island loggerhead shrikes are an endemic, genetically distinct subspecies of loggerhead shrike on California?s Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands - part of Channel Islands National Park - that are listed as a Species of Special Concern by the California Department of Fish and Game and a formal request has been submitted for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. Because of suspected low numbers, and the likelihood of federal listing, there is an urgent need to rigorously determine the number of remaining individuals and their locations on the Islands. The proposed activity is to use statistically rigorous sampling methods to survey shrikes on the islands, toward the goal of estimating abundance and determining locations of birds. This information will be invaluable to the National Park Service and other entities dealing with this emerging issue.
