Replication Data for: Breeding bird response to adaptive multi-paddock and continuous grazing practices in Southeastern United States

The dataset consists of survey data results for multiple unlimited distance, single observer point count breeding bird surveys at ten selected ranches over two consecutive years. The methods selected and the time intervals used to collect the data are arranged in a manner that is consistent with many state, federal, and international protocols for bird population data collection with the expressed intention of allowing flexibility/usability in comparison with other studies. The data rows are unique observations, and the columns are the varying metrics (ex. species, taxonomic order, location, date, time, distance, direction, abundance, behavior, etc.). Additionally, a custom R package for analyzing effective detection radii per species was developed and the script is provided. Review of the data will require Microsoft Excel and analysis/review of the statistical analyses will require R (Version 4.3.1). It is anticipated that other researchers studying breeding bird population dynamics within working lands and/or grasslands in the southeastern USA might be able to compare or include these data into larger studies.
