Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a small discretionary cooperative agreement to support continued Monitoring Avian Production and Survivorship (MAPS) work in the Douglas Creek riparian corridor in Douglas County, Washington. The project centers on long-term monitoring of Neotropical migratory landbirds using standardized bird banding and demographic field methods. The opportunity emphasizes continuity: the site has been monitored for roughly two decades, and maintaining an uninterrupted dataset is treated as essential because MAPS analyses rely heavily on consistent annual sampling at the same locations to detect trends in productivity and survivorship.
The work described involves legally capturing migratory birds during the summer field season, banding them with unique identifiers, and recording species and demographic information in accordance with the MAPS Protocol. The data are then submitted to the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP), which manages the broader MAPS program and associated database. Results from these efforts contribute to continent-wide demographic research and are used for publication and synthesis in IBP outlets, including the journal BIRD Populations, which focuses on avian demography and biogeography. In practical terms, the grant supports field operations that generate standardized capture, banding, and recapture data needed to estimate annual productivity (a proxy for breeding output) and adult survivorship, while strengthening long-term population monitoring for target species in the Douglas Creek corridor.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is L15AS00051, titled "BLM OR/WA - Monitoring Avian Production and Survivorship at Douglas Creek, Douglas County, Washington." It was posted and created on March 20, 2015, with an application closing date of May 20, 2015, and an archive date of March 20, 2016. The assistance listing/CFDA number is 15.238, and the activity category is Natural Resources. BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,000. The award ceiling was $4,000 and the floor was $1, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply (subject to any clarifications in the full announcement). Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a straightforward grant, it typically implies some level of programmatic involvement or coordination with the federal agency compared with a standard grant, consistent with BLM supporting an ongoing monitoring effort on or relevant to public lands and resource management objectives.
For applicants or interested parties, BLM directed users to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the online listing. The point of contact for access issues was Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.

What is the purpose of the project?
The purpose is to support continued Monitoring Avian Production and Survivorship (MAPS) work in the Douglas Creek riparian corridor in Douglas County, Washington, using standardized bird banding and demographic field methods to monitor Neotropical migratory landbirds over the long term.
Where will the work take place?
The work is focused on the Douglas Creek riparian corridor in Douglas County, Washington.
What bird monitoring program does this project support?
The project supports Monitoring Avian Production and Survivorship (MAPS), a standardized program for collecting bird demographic data through consistent annual monitoring.
Why is long-term continuity emphasized in this opportunity?
The Douglas Creek site has been monitored for roughly two decades, and maintaining an uninterrupted dataset is treated as essential because MAPS analyses rely heavily on consistent annual sampling at the same locations to detect trends in productivity and survivorship.
What kinds of activities are funded under this award?
The award supports summer field season operations involving legally capturing migratory birds, banding them with unique identifiers, recording species and demographic information according to the MAPS Protocol, and producing standardized capture, banding, and recapture data used to estimate annual productivity and adult survivorship.
What methods are expected to be used for field data collection?
The opportunity specifies standardized bird banding and demographic field methods conducted in accordance with the MAPS Protocol, including capture, banding, and recapture as part of consistent annual sampling.
What types of birds are the focus of the monitoring?
The monitoring focuses on Neotropical migratory landbirds in the Douglas Creek riparian corridor.
What is meant by "productivity" in this project?
In this context, productivity refers to an annual estimate used as a proxy for breeding output, derived from standardized capture and banding data collected under the MAPS framework.
What is meant by "adult survivorship" in this project?
Adult survivorship refers to estimates of survival derived from recapture and demographic data collected during standardized MAPS monitoring at the site.
Where is the collected data submitted?
Data are submitted to the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP), which manages the broader MAPS program and its associated database.
How are the results from this work used?
Results contribute to continent-wide demographic research and are used for publication and synthesis in IBP outlets, including the journal BIRD Populations, which focuses on avian demography and biogeography.
