- Abstract:
-
This spatial dataset consists of point locations for a colonial nesting site survey of gull-billed terns (Sterna nilotica) in Florida. Biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) - Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) conducted ground surveys during April-July 2012 along both Atlantic and Gulf coastal regions. Where we found nesting gull-billed terns, we collected data on site characteristics. Breeding was detected at only 4 (11.8%) of 34 surveyed locations in Florida.
Geo-referenced gull-billed tern occurrence and abundance data help identify landscape features and vegetation characteristics that determine species’ occurrence. The study results will enable FWC to collaborate with other state and federal agencies on beach/dune habitat management. Associated avian species in Florida may also benefit during events such as tropical storms, beach nourishment projects, and climate/sea level changes.
- Purpose:
-
The objectives of this study were to determine locations and site characteristics of gull-billed tern nesting colonies and to collect data on the breeding ecology of the species in Florida.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

Characterization of sites by quantitative and character variables using standard operating methods created by this publication.

- Process_Description:
-
1. A literature search was conducted to locate all historic nesting records of gull-billed terns in Florida before the 2012 breeding season. A map with a pixel resolution of 30×30 m of all undeveloped beach/dune habitats in Florida was generated using GIS landscape information from the 2004 Closing the Gaps Program maintained by FWC staff. During April-July 2012, a statewide survey of undeveloped beach/dune habitats was conducted on foot or by vehicle or boat. Historic nesting sites, including roof-top nesting sites, were checked for current nesting status for all tern species.

- Process_Description:
-
2. NEST DATA: The date (mm/dd/yyyy format), observers, and site name/code were recorded for each site visited on the ground. The specific sampling protocol included a minimum of two visits to each colony for conducting nest counts to accommodate chronological variability in the total number nests per colony. The survey protocol at each colony site included the following standard operating procedures:
A) Complete all surveys from sunrise to 4 hours after sunrise or within 3 hours before sunset;
B) Employ a two-person survey team as recorder and observer;
C) Locate the approximate center of each colony or sub-colony with a WAAS enabled GPS unit;
D) Conduct individual nest or pair counts using binoculars or a spotting scope; and
E) Avoid flushing terns that were nesting in close association with predatory gulls, in direct sunlight/high air temperature, or in the presence of the public.

3. SITE (ECOLOGY) DATA: In order to evaluate the site characteristics of nesting habitat used by gull-billed terns, each site where at least one gull-billed tern breeding pair was observed was characterized by several quantitative and character variables using standard operating methods created by Erwin et al. (1998). See 'Entities and Attributes' section for site characteristics collected.

4. SPATIAL DATA MANAGEMENT: Received the principal investigator's permission prior to making all the following changes:
A) GULL-BILLED TERN NEST LOCATIONS TABLE (Nest): Copied the number of adult gull-billed tern pairs present from 'Comments' to its own field, 'NestPair'. Renamed 'Comments' field to 'NestPrComm'. Added JoinedBy field to give each location where gull-billed tern nesting was detected a unique ID;
B) SITE CHARACTERISTICS TABLE (Ecology): Transposed the table so each colony location is a record and the ecological characteristics are fields. Placed each bird species listed in 'Near-neighbor distance' for each colony location (e.g., BLSK=0.65+/-0.79m indicates the nearest bird to a gull-billed tern was a black skimmer <1 m away) into a separate field. Added JoinedBy field to give each location the same unique ID as given in the Gull-billed Tern Nest Locations table;
C) Cleaned all 3 data tables in Excel (e.g., correct spelling, spacing, standardize entries) and formatted Nest and Ecology worksheet to meet format requirements of shapefile attribute table (e.g., max field lengths = 10 chars). Imported the Excel table into Google Refine. In the field 'NestPrComm', ' Removed the word 'pairs' from one record entered as 'No gull-billed tern nesting pairs' to standardize with several other records;
D) Imported tables into Microsoft Access. Joined Nest to Ecology on JoinedBy field, then joined this larger table to Original on Latitude (unique for these survey sites); and
E) Converted prepared table to a shapefile using LatDD and LonDD in the geographic WGS 1984 coordinate system. Reprojected the shapefile into FL Modified Albers.
