Abstract

In 2003, PRBO Conservation Science (PRBO) completed the 6^th field season of a riparian songbird monitoring program in the eastern Sierra Nevada. Results presented in this report are derived from extensive point count monitoring sites in the Owens River, Mono Basin and Hammil Valley watersheds 1998-2003 (Chapter I), our 4^th year of effort at intensive riparian monitoring sites in the Mono Basin (Chapter II) and a three year summary of results from our work on nest searching plots at North Lake and Rock Creek, Inyo National Forest (Chapter III). Additional 2003 results from this monitoring program are presented in separate reports: A three year summary of our work in the West and East Walker River watersheds are presented in Heath (in prep). A two year summary of our work at Devils Postpile National Monument (on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada) are presented in Gates and Heath (2003). Results of our outreach and education efforts are presented in Gates et al. (2003). The most current results of our efforts on the Lower Owens River are presented in Heath and Gates (2002).
