1.Background:
As part of its mandate to conserve migratory birds, Environment and Climate Change Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service (ECCC-CWS) uses aircrafts to conduct annual surveys of waterfowl and other migratory birds over various suitable habitats in British Columbia. These surveys help track the trends, abundance, and distribution of migratory bird species - three parameters essential to the sound management of bird populations by ECCC-CWS. This particular project, the BC Interior Breeding Waterfowl Survey (hereafter, the Principal Work) supports the setting of Canadian and U.S. waterfowl hunting regulations.
Flying this survey is very specialized. ECCC-CWS therefore requires the use of rotary-wing aircraft that meet specific performance and configuration requirements and the use of pilots with related flying experience.
Different aircraft bases are used to ensure that surveys start as close as possible to each of the areas to be surveyed. Flying from different bases of operations will maximize the amount of time spent conducting surveys during the survey window and it will ensure that bird observations are collected during the core survey window of 06:00h to 12:00h. Using regional bases also helps reduce overall cost by minimizing aircraft taxi time to/from the base to the areas to be surveyed.
