USAID donated tablets, electronic equipment and software to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s Statistical Department to improve agricultural data collection on September 8. USAID works in partnership with the Ministry through Feed the Future. One hundred and fifty Ministry officials will be trained to collect data. In turn this activity will help inform more effective agribusiness policies aimed to improve the livelihoods of farmers. Expected Development Result(s): Improved food security and increased incomes The scoop: vibeghana.com/2016/09/09/usaid-donates-it-equipment-for-a...
Once the female has made her way back to the nest and is resting comfortably on it, the line is pulled. This releases the trigger and snaps the bowtrap over the female. Here a Pacific Black Brant has been captured using the bow-trap technique.

Data loggers are one way to collect information on changes in water level, salinity, temperature, etc. in different water bodies (lakes, ponds, sloughs, rivers). These types of tools are important in studying hydrology of different ecosystems. Information gathered from data loggers can be used to document changes that are occurring and, through modeling, project future changes that may occur.
These data loggers are being installed in the coastal zone to document tidal, seasonal, and yearly changes in hydrology on Kigigak Island.

A color marking study was initiated on Kigigak island in the early 1990's to provide estimates of spectacled eider demographic parameters. These parameters were used to develop a population model for the species. Female spectacled eiders are captured and marked with a USFWS metal band, a uniquely coded tarsal band, and a uniquely coded nasal disc. These markers are used to identify the females in subsequent years and provide information about survival and recruitment which can be used in the population model. One method of trapping the female spectacled eiders is to use a bow-trap which is placed over the nest. This method has also been used to capture Pacific Black Brant, Emperor Geese, Cackling Geese, and Common Eiders. In this photo a bow trap has been placed over a goose nest.

People in communities throughout B.C. will have more opportunities to choose walking, biking and other sustainable travel options as this year’s Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants program opens for applications.
The data collectors talk to the selected sample of villagers – men and women – in order to gather as much information as possible. The data collection process constantly experiences accessibility and security challenges. This has a potential of underestimating the severity of the food security situation, especially since these inaccessible sites are usually subject to prevailing shocks.

Wooden rack built by Mike McWilliams holding power boards and laptop computers components of the first Digital Aerial Sketch Mapping (DASM) system used in Region 6 functionally. Two systems allow two aerial observers digitize data simultaneously - each looking out one side of the airplane. The KDS touchscreen components are sitting on the table.

Note: The transition from collecting data on paper maps to digital data collection with DASM happened over the course of several years of testing. The first year for 100% DASM data collection in Oregon and Washington was 2003.

Mist-nets are another trapping method used to capture spectacled eiders (and other waterfowl species) on Kigigak Island. Mist nets are made from nylon and vary in mesh size and length. Mist nets typically have three to four panels that overlap to form "pockets". When a bird strikes the net, it drops into a pocket and become entangled. Mists nets are traditionally positioned vertically so that flying birds will hit the net and fall into the pockets. Mist-nets on Kigigak are being used to trap females that are sitting on their nest. Because of this, the the mist-nets have been modified so that there is only one large pocket. Poles are attached to either side of the mist net and The mist net is streched out horizontally between two people. The mist net is held taught while the researchers walk to where the female is sitting on her nest.

When the researchers have reached the female sitting on her nest the net is placed over top her. All females react differently to the net being placed on top of them but eventually they all jump of their nests and into the net where they get tangled.

The LabWatchâ„¢ environmental monitoring system is a complete solution for critical stability, environmental, and facility monitoring applications.
Trail cameras are a great resource that can be used for more than just documenting activity at a tree stand. This trail camera was placed on a fox den to document fox activity and has also been used on swim-in traps to assess temporal patterns of duck use in relationship
to trap-checking schedule efficiency. Cameras were also used to identify potential trap predators and timing of presence to help minimize predation event impacts.

The bow-trap is set off by a trigger that is attached to a 100+foot line. Researchers wait at the end of the 100+ ft line until the female returns to the nest. Here Casey, a biotech for the spectacled eider project in 2012, is patiently waiting for a female spectacled eider to return to her nest.
