Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex manages an Aerial Photography Program for collecting refuge-wide aerial imagery datasets that are used to monitor nesting seabirds on offshore islands. Aerial flights are generally conducted annually to monitor population status and trends, but the imagery has been used for other resource monitoring purposes.
These photos were captured at very high resolutions and have about 1-foot pixel (ground) resolution. Please note that these photos have not been georeferenced. The photos have not been orthorectified and therefore there will be photo anomalies and mis-matches between adjoining photos. Caution should be exercised if attempting to use this imagery to conduct measurements.
After images were selected for best quality, in some cases, colony-wide, or larger sections of large islands were stitched (mosaiced), to help in the seabird counting process. This metadata record is for the stitched images only.
A portion of the sub-sampled colonies was counted by the USFWS prior to this project and the counting method shifted in 2009 from projection of 35mm slides to digital images imported into ArcGIS (in ArcMap v10.5-10.6.1). For the 1994 and 2014 censuses and all counts of sub-sampled colonies completed during this project (n = 325 colony counts), individual birds and nests were enumerated using digital images imported into ArcGIS software.
For years where digital geospatial point data is available, Shapefile, Geodatabase and Resulting .mxd file names included the six digit colony number identifier and year (e.g. ‘col_######_YYYY.mxd’).
In each colony count, every individual murre present in the colony photo(s) was enumerated in order to estimate the breeding population of murres at a colony site. We also counted individuals on the water in the immediate vicinity of the colony in order to capture murres that flushed either due to the helicopter or other causes. Nests of Brandt’s cormorants, double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritis), and pelagic cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) were counted if the nest appeared to be active and attended. “Empty” cormorant nests, or nests with no adults located in or immediately adjacent to the nest regardless of the contents of the nests, were counted separately. Western/glaucous-winged gull hybrid (Larus occidentalis x glaucescens) nests, pigeon guillemots (Cepphus Columba), black oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani), and tufted puffins (Fraturcula cirrhata) were also quantified. However, due to limited image coverage with respect to nest type and location, the data were insufficient to draw trends for any species other than common murres, Brandt’s cormorants, and double-crested cormorants.
If there was only one or a few partial photos of a rock on which a historical colony was located (e.g. only one side) and no birds were present, we assumed the count of individuals and nests was zero.
Aerial photography has served as the primary means for monitoring populations of nesting seabirds, and the subsequent analysis of long-term seabird colony legacy data in the Pacific Northwest as a regional baseline. The 2009 set of photographs have a completed refuge- wide subset colony count for 2009 where each photograph has a hand count of nesting seabirds stored in a geodatabase format.
For more information about the long-term monitoring of seabirds along the Oregon Coast, go to The Service Catalog (ServCat) at the following link: https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/125347
This metadata record was written to cover image bird counts generated from the 2009 flight. These counts are based off the best quality images. The raw and stitched island-wide mosaics can be found on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's internal Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and ServCat reference, https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/128387 and https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/130248. It should be noted that all slides from the 2009 count year are digital, and available upon request.

Digital hand-held aerial photography
Images were captured in 2009, but a complete seabird count was not performed until images were scanned and processed in 2019.
Image files are organized by Year and Colony ID. Directories were formed to organize stitched image (if made). These images are available through the FWS Enterprise Data Workshop (EDW).
20201231
Image is true color, and the images are stored in .JPG and .TIFF format. Images are used as basemap for the counts and are centered on the colony center point.
20201231
Images have automatically assigned unique names, and stitched mosaics may follow a regular format (e.g. col_ 219010_a.jpg). The image attributes are captured in the metadata for the count.
20201231
Images were selected from the principle Oregon coast seabird colony survey completed each year during 2 – 4 days in early- to mid-June. Although additional aerial photos were collected over multiple flights in some cases (e.g. partial survey completed in mid-July), the counts from these photos would not be comparable to other data given the difference in timing of the survey. From the pool of photographs available for each colony in each year, observers manually checked and selected the highest quality photos based upon a variety of factors including whether or not:
•individual birds were distinguishable from each other
•individual birds were distinguishable from the background, particularly in shadows caused by topographical features
•individual birds were not blocked by other birds or topographical features
•the image was part of a series of images that could be stitched together
Selected slides from the inventory were reviewed for quality, and scored. The best images were selected for further processing and/or counts.
Image Grading:
We established a numerical grading scale based on absolute visual characteristic grading (Ludewig et al. 2010) to assess image quality of each colony counted. The following aspects were considered with respect to image grading:
•Sharpness/contrast and distance: are individuals distinguishable? Are birds distinguishable from the background?
•Coverage: is entire colony visible? Is topography obscuring birds?
•Angle: are birds blocking other birds, are birds closest to photographer approximately the same size as those further away?
Using the following grading scale, each counted image was given a grade which was entered into the Seabird Colony database along with the count record.
Grading scale:
1.Excellent image quality: no limitations for counting
2.Good image quality: minimal limitations for counting
3.Sufficient image quality: moderate limitations for counting but no substantial loss of information
4.Restricted image quality: relevant limitations for counting, clear loss of information
5.Poor image quality: image not usable, loss of information
Each colony count received one grade for image quality, regardless of the number of images included. For the 325 colony counts completed during the course of this project, the majority (n = 216; 66%) received an image grade of 2 or 3. A smaller number of colony count images received a grade of 1 (n = 50; 15%) or 4 (n = 59; 18%). Colony images received a grade of 5 on one occasion because the image quality was too poor to count.
20181231
We stitched images together where possible in order to reduce the time required to both orient images on a colony and delineate areas to count. We compared stitched images created by two readily available software packages, Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Image Composite Editor, to determine which we preferred. Photoshop included many image editing features such as distortion removal and a contrast slider tool in addition to a stitching function, but we found the processing time lengthy and resulting file size often prohibitively large. In contrast, the sole function of Image Composite Editor was to stitch images and in most cases, this program produced comparable or even superior stitches in much less time than Photoshop. As a result, we used Image Composite Editor whenever possible. Photoshop was utilized for some poor quality photos that Image Composite Editor could not process, as Photoshop allowed some manual manipulation of image placement in the final stitch. After photos were stitched together the resulting image was inspected for smooth transitions and seams. Stitched images were saved as a Tiff unless the file was so large that a lossy compression format was required (i.e. Jpeg). Photos were imported into ArcMap (v10.5-10.6.1 depending on date and computer) to be counted.
Images counted by the USFWS during the study period (1988-2014) prior to the Legacy Project, were stitched using Adobe Photoshop and processed/counted as Jpeg files.
Stitched image headers, or single image if the entire island is covered in one photograph, are updated so that they will align with geodatabses if the project must be recreated.
20191231
Stitched photo(s) of each colony were imported to a new ArcMap .mxd file and moved to the vicinity of the colony location using a georeferenced Oregon coast seabird colony layer and the georeferencing toolbar. MXD files are available by request, and are stored on the FWS Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).
20191231
Selected and stitched images were joined with data from the Seabird Slide Catalog to gather photograph level metadata for the counted colonies (those used to count seabirds). This tabulation was used to create a geospatial representation of the photographs using Colony geospatial coordinates (center points) form the Seabird Colony Catalog. This can be found at: https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/128387 and Stitched images at: https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/130248
20201231
The counter manually added count lines/boundaries where applicable to delineate the area of the photo that was counted. This prevented double-counting in areas where multiple images covered the same area of the colony and ensured that all of the colony was counted.
Countlines may be presented as shapefiles or included within count geodatabases and include details about the colony and year (used) (e.g. ‘col_219059_countline_1994’)
If countlines were used, they are included in the Project's Shapefile. Countlines are generally just used for graphics/presentation, with no attributes.
20191231
Count Methods. Either individual Selected Images or Stitched photo(s) of each colony were imported to a new ArcMap .mxd file and moved to the vicinity of the colony location using a georeferenced Oregon coast seabird colony layer and the georeferencing toolbar.
Partial Counts in Shapefiles (early legacy work and pre legacy work)
Shapefile templates for likely seabird species were then added to the ArcMap file. Depending on year, this either consisted of a point layer for each species. Shapefile attributes are extremely limited and only include a geometric feature, because the Shapefile format only presents one species per file, there are no additional attributes. Filenames include the six digit colony number identifier and year (e.g. ‘col_219018_COMU_1994.shp).
The point layer(s) included the following counted species:
COMU: common murres
BRAC: Brandt’s cormorant nests
DCCO: double-crested cormorant nests
PECO: pelagic cormorant nests
WEGU: western/glaucous-winged gull nests
PIGU: pigeon guillemots
BLOY: black oystercatchers
TUPU: tufted puffins
BRAC_empty: abandoned Brandt’s cormorant nests
PECO_empty: abandoned pelagic cormorant nests
DCCO_empty: abandoned double-crested cormorant nests
Partial Counts in Geodatabases (later legacy work)
During the legacy project, enumeration shifted to using geodatabases. Geodatabases bundled colonies by the ‘greater’ colony (MapNO), and can include multiple colonies (MapNO). The geodatabase included feature datasets for each colony (MapNO), within each feature dataset a feature class was created for each individual colony.
See the following example:
ColonyCountsLegacyProject1994_kb.gdb Colony219 Colony219_006
Geodatabase feature classes contain an attribute for Species (AOU code), multiple species may be included in a single feature class for the colony.
20191231
Species Counts
To count the seabirds present in the images, a point was added to every individual bird or nest visible in the photos. An effort was made to place the points in the center of the bird/nest in order to minimize confusion during count review and proofing. In cases where it was clear that murres were located in recessed rocky overhangs or heavily shadowed areas but individuals could not be distinguished, points were added at a density comparable to adjacent visible murres. Even with the addition of these points, overall murre counts were likely conservative.
All other detected and identified species were marked and the count was included in the database, however these counts were incidental and not intended as use for population estimates.
20191231
QAQC on Counts. The counter reviewed the colony after the initial count was completed in order to fill in missing birds and nests. Each colony count was then proofed, in most cases by a different counter. All count and geodatabase files were given to the database manager to rectify with the Seabird Colony Catalog.
20191231
Data Processing and Metadata
The count data were entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets along with the colony number, count year, whether or not stitched images were used, the file names of images counted, image grade, name of the counter, name of the individual that proofed the count, notes, the date that the colony count was completed, and the time required to each select/stitch images, count the colony, review the count, and proof the count. All count data was proofed to prevent transcription errors between the bird/nest totals in ArcMap and the spreadsheet. The spreadsheets were then used to rectify census counts with the Oregon Seabird Colony Catalog
20191231
Data Storage
All data collected during the course of this project was incorporated into the Oregon Seabird Colony Catalog database which is maintained by the USFWS and contains all seabird survey data collected by the service as well as survey data shared by collaborators. Seabird database manager Steve Holzman rectified our sub-sampled counts as well as the 1994 and 2014 census data, with the Oregon Seabird Colony Catalog v2020. The Catalog is available: https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/125358
All raw point count files that are digital and/or geospatial are available on request. All raw point count files are stored on the FWS Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) along with the raw images used to generate the point files. The raw images are also available on request.

The entity and attribute information provided here describes the result of bird counts on 2009 images.
Collection level metadata – created by USFWS – consists of only one metadata record describing the overall series of raw counts developed during a project.
Product level metadata – created by USFWS – will refer to individual raw counts.These records will be populated with information from the Seabird Colony Catalog as well as linkages to the raw geospatial files. A summary table of sites included in each years collection of raw counts will be included in the dataset description.
The entity and attribute information was generated by the USFWS. Please review the rest of the metadata record for additional details and information.
