Avian community survey by point count method in a leafy forest of the Station de Biologie des Laurentides, Université de Montréal

Here we provided a dataset of birds’ communities census in the Station de Biologie des Laurentides (SBL), the Université de Montréal field station. Census was performed as part of the BIO2854 field course. BIO2854 is an undergraduate course in terrestrial animal ecology in biological science at Université de Montréal. Highly qualified teaching assistant and students surveyed forest birds over 4 days in May-June 2011 to 2019 by acoustic point-count method. Abundance counts were made based on bird vital domain available in literature and the assumption that each recorded male was associated with one female from the same species. Data are made available to consult for future research and teaching purpose.
