Herner-Thogmartin 20260804 Nestucca Valley winter goose survey annual metrics, 2007-2019 1.0 tabular digital data ServCat U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service https://doi.org/10.7944/a5h4-3826 This dataset contains derived annual metrics describing winter goose abundance and phenology in the Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge area, for the period 2007-2019. Each record includes species-specific annual estimates of Goose Use Days (and their variance and standard deviation), arrival, peak, and departure dates, and seasonal maximum count. This dataset supports ecological research and conservation planning by documenting seasonal abundance, distribution, and habitat use of Canada and cackling goose populations in coastal Oregon. The data were collected to ensure the Refuge is meeting its goal of providing habitat for two subspecies (Aleutian cackling goose and dusky Canada goose) which motivated formation of the Refuge. 20071001 20191115 ground condition Complete None planned Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge -123.98000 -123.91000 45.21000 45.10000 ISO 19115 Topic Category biota Common geographic areas Nestucca Bay USGS Thesaurus birds None Pacific Flyway Tillamook County Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge Common geographic areas Northern Oregon Coastal Pacific Northwest None Branta canadensis occidentalis Branta hutchinsii leucopareia Branta hutchinsii minima Branta hutchinsii taverneri Branta canadensis parvipes Branta canadensis moffitti Kingdom Animalia Subkingdom Bilateria Infrakingdom Deuterostomia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Infraphylum Gnathostomata Superclass Tetrapoda Class Aves Order Anseriformes Family Anatidae Genus Branta Species Branta canadensis Subspecies Branta canadensis occidentalis TSN: 175006 Subspecies Branta canadensis parvipes TSN: 175004 Subspecies Branta canadensis moffitti TSN: 175003 Species Branta hutchinsii Subspecies Branta hutchinsii leucopareia TSN: 714726 Subspecies Branta hutchinsii minima TSN: 714727 Subspecies Branta hutchinsii taverneri TSN: 714728 No access constraints.
