Maps showing the estimated territorial boundaries of all bird species occupying the 10-ha bird plot in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, 1969-2021. These data were used in estimating the abundance of bird populations during this period (e.g., Holmes and Sturges 1975, Holmes et al. 1986, Holmes and Sherry 1988, 2001, Holmes 2011).
These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
