Sagehen Creek Field Station

31 May, 11 PM - 30 Jun, 05 AM

Our project involves monitoring willow flycatcher populations in the central Sierra Nevada. We are interested in conducting surveys along the riparian corridor east of the field station. We would like to visit the site at least three times over the months of June and July to conduct these surveys and, if any willow flycatchers are detected, to determine if the birds are color banded. The surveys follow US Forest Service approved protocols for willow flycatchers in the central Sierra Nevada. They consist of walking through the site and broadcasting willow flycatcher calls in order to elicit responses from present individuals. The protocol is designed to minimize disturbance to the vegetation and to the birds. We will not be collecting, manipulating, or introducing any flora or fauna to the area. We do not require any housing or resources from the field station. We will park a field vehicle along the road and enter and leave the meadow without disturbance to the field station. We can alert the field station manager of our visits in advance (2-3 days in advance) if needed.
