Title:Journey North - Hummingbird observations by volunteer community scientists across Central and North America (1996-2020)
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

This data package contains hummingbird migration data (1996 - 2020) across North and Central America collected by 30,703 community scientists for Journey North, a crowdsourced participatory science program of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum. The Journey North Hummingbird Project is an ongoing study of hummingbird phenology conducted at broad spatial and temporal scales. Since 1996, community scientists have tracked first arrival dates and breeding and feeding behavior as well as the onset of fall migration and presence of hummingbird species throughout the winter months in the United States. Focal species are the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) and Rufous Hummingbird. However, observational data is also available for Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus), Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri), Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope), Costa's Hummingbird (Calypte costae), Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna), Allen’s Hummingbird (Selasphours sasin). Observers also provide estimates of the number of birds sighted. However, observers do not follow standardized methods for counting species observed. Observers do not observe at set times of the day, do not repeat observations regularly, and are not required to provide the length of time during which a specified number of species observed were counted. Therefore, it is recommended that this dataset be analyzed to indicate presence not abundance. Additional contextual information is provided as text in the comments field of the dataset. The Journey North Hummingbird Project dataset is hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Shared Web Hosting Service.

CodeHummingbird (Feeder up)
DefinitionA spring reporting category (January 1-July 31). Observers report date when they first set out their hummingbird feeders. This category is designed to indicate food available at early onset of spring migration.

Code Definition
CodeHummingbird Sighting
DefinitionA fall reporting category (August 1-December 31). Observers are requested to enter observations of hummingbirds sighted, excluding adult male hummingbirds. Observers are encouraged to list species names if known in the comment box. This category is designed to capture migrating female and juvenile hummingbird movements during fall migration as well as the presence of overwintering hummingbirds.

Code Definition
CodeHummingbird Sighting (Adult Male)
DefinitionA fall reporting category (August 1-December 31). Because male hummingbirds are the first to leave their breeding grounds and the first to arrive at fall migration stop-over sites, observers are requested to report sightings of male hummingbirds separately using this reporting category. If known, observers are requested to enter in the species name in the comment box. This reporting category is designed to capture the onset of fall migration and to help determine fall migration pathways.

Code Definition
CodeHummingbird, Nectaring from Flowers
DefinitionA year-round reporting category. Observers report hummingbird behavior specific to feeding from natural sources of nectar. Observers are encouraged to report species of flowers if known. This reporting category is designed to capture food availability and preference during migration and breeding.

CodeHummingbird, Other Observations
DefinitionA year-round reporting category. Observers report hummingbird behavior, excluding nectaring from flowers. These behaviors include (but are not limited to): foraging for insects, claiming/defending territory, courtship/mating, nest building, defending nests, preening, flying, perching, winter torpor. Observers are encouraged to describe behaviors in the comment field. This reporting category is designed to capture a more complete picture of hummingbird behavior during breeding season. breeding.

Methods and Protocols

These methods, instrumentation and/or protocols apply to all data in this dataset:

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Data Collection:

After registering with https://journeynorth.org/reg/, citizen community scientists (hereinafter volunteers or observers) enter their observations (or “sightings”) by visiting https://journeynorth.org/sightings/ and selecting the phenological event reporting categories that most fit their observations. The occurrence of a phenological event can be determined by a single date and time of a life cycle stage. For the Journey North program, the first arrival date of a hummingbird species in the spring is an example of such a phenological event reporting category. (As noted by USA-NPN: The definition of the term “phenological event” has not yet been standardized and varies among scientists. USA-NPN website.)

Once a reporting category has been selected, the volunteers enter additional information about their observations (or “sightings”) including:

• location of observations (based on known street address, Google Maps location picker, or known latitude/longitude coordinates) (required field)

• number of individual species observed (optional field)

• date of observations (required field)

• comments describing ecological context (optional field)

• photo voucher of observations (optional field)

Once the information has been entered, volunteers click on “Submit Report” to complete the process. Journey North provides online support for volunteers. Protocols and identification tips are described on the website. Journey North also fields inquiries via a helpline.

Instrument(s):Website for report a sighting: https://journeynorth.org/projects
Description:

Data verification:

Journey North also uses a multipronged data verification process which includes:

1) Expert review by project staff.

2) Digital vouchers - photo submissions.

3) Contacting participants about unusual reports.

4) Participants known and qualified.

5) Data triangulation --corroboration from other data sources, e.g., remote sensing data, qualitative data, historical trend data.

6) Data quality documentation -- metadata documentation

Description:

Data processing and cleaning.

Once the dataset was downloaded from the Journey North private server, it was imported into a Jupyter Notebook running in Python 3 as the programming language. The cleaning process included:

1) The identification and correction of any inconsistencies in formatting for each column of the dataset, while keeping the meaning of the data intact.

2) The creation of a copy of the original version of any column to be modified, as well as the creation of another column to flag any type of modification that an observational report value may be subject to.

2) Filling gaps for the ‘customerid’ column by using the emails of each observational report as a unique identifier, followed by the exclusion of the emails from the dataset to ensure the privacy of our volunteers.

3) Fixing typos on the reporting categories that occurred because some of the older data were entered manually in our system, rather than using our current drop-down menu option.

4) Replacing any empty value with a standard code ‘-999999.999’ given that not all of the information provided by the users are required fields on the online platform.

5) Ensuring that each column data type was in fact consistent with the type of data that it contained.

6) Rounding up longitude and latitude values to only 3 decimals after the dot to ensure the privacy of our volunteers.

7) Excluding any observational report that seems beyond recovery in terms of its reliability due to different reasons such as: a) missing latitude and longitude, b) missing email AND customerid together, c) dates of sightings seem to be extremely old (before Journey North foundation).

8) Ensuring that there were not any duplicates of any observational report.

Abstract:

Launched in 1993, the Journey North program had three goals: 1) To understand how species respond, across spatial and temporal scales, to climate change. 2) To understand the migration patterns and distribution of species during breeding and overwintering, across spatial and temporal scales, to inform land management and conservation decisions (such as critical habitat designations). 3) To build public awareness of habitat requirements of migratory species that span their life cycles to spur conservation efforts.
