North American Woodcock Singing Ground Survey

OMB 1018-0019

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 711) requires the Secretary of the Interior (Fish and Wildlife Service) to implement a viable and ongoing program for the protection and conservation of various migratory birds. The North American Woodcock Singing Ground Survey is an essential part of the migratory bird management program and provides the data necessary to determine the population status of the woodcock. In addition, the information is vital in assessing the relative changes in the geographic distribution of the woodcock. Federal, State, Provincial, tribal, and local wildlife agencies in the United States and Canada work cooperatively to monitor woodcock populations.
