摘要钱德勒（Chan）S.罗宾斯对大陆范围繁殖鸟类的综合调查导致了北美繁殖鸟类调查（BBS）的发展。成龙是唯一适合发展BBS的人。他作为政府科学家的地位使他有设计和实施大陆规模调查的经验，他的研究背景使他成为一个有效的倡导者，需要进行调查以监测杀虫剂对鸟类的影响，他在观鸟界的突出地位使他与基础设施有联系-一个合格的志愿观鸟者网络，他们可以进行标准化的路边调查。BBS于1966年在美国东部和加拿大的大西洋省份开始，现在提供美国大陆和加拿大1546个物种的种群变化信息，最近在墨西哥启动的路线有望大大扩大调查的范围和物种。虽然调查程序50年来没有改变，但BBS在不断变化的世界中仍然具有现实意义。在秃鹰：鸟类学进展的特别部分中，接下来的几篇论文回顾了BBS如何应用于保护评估，特别是与其他大规模调查数据相结合。BBS方案的一个关键特点是对实地和分析方法进行积极研究，以提高计数数据的质量，并控制影响可探测性的因素。特别部分的论文还介绍了BBS分析的进展，这些进展提高了这一不断扩大且有时存在争议的调查的实用性。在这个角度来看，我们介绍了特别部分回顾BBS的历史，描述当前的分析，并提供所有物种的总结趋势结果，突出了3组保护关注：草地繁殖的鸟类，干旱地区繁殖的鸟类和空中食虫鸟类。
ABSTRACT The vision of Chandler (Chan) S. Robbins for a continental-scale omnibus survey of breeding birds led to the development of the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). Chan was uniquely suited to develop the BBS. His position as a government scientist had given him experience with designing and implementing continental-scale surveys, his research background made him an effective advocate of the need for a survey to monitor pesticide effects on birds, and his prominence in the birding community gave him connections to infrastructure—a network of qualified volunteer birders who could conduct roadside surveys with standardized point counts. Having started in the eastern United States and the Atlantic provinces of Canada in 1966, the BBS now provides population change information for ∼546 species in the continental United States and Canada, and recently initiated routes in Mexico promise to greatly expand the areas and species covered by the survey. Although survey protocols have remained unchanged for 50 years, the BBS remains relevant in a changing world. Several papers that follow in this Special Section of The Condor: Ornithological Advances review how the BBS has been applied to conservation assessments, especially in combination with other large-scale survey data. A critical feature of the BBS program is an active research program into field and analytical methods to enhance the quality of the count data and to control for factors that influence detectability. Papers in the Special Section also present advances in BBS analyses that improve the utility of this expanding and sometimes controversial survey. In this Perspective, we introduce the Special Section by reviewing the history of the BBS, describing current analyses, and providing summary trend results for all species, highlighting 3 groups of conservation concern: grassland-breeding birds, aridland-breeding birds, and aerial insectivorous birds.
