The Sonoran Joint Venture, Bureau of Land Management Arizona State Office, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department funded and developed the new Species Accounts tool, an easy-to-use resource for agency biologists, land managers, and others who deal with everyday decisions that affect birds and their habitats. The Species Accounts can save time and energy while encouraging land managers to consider and promote bird conservation in harmony with other management goals and decisions.

The IMBCR program is the second largest breeding bird monitoring program in North America, spanning 16 western states. The strength of the IMBCR program lies in its partnership with multiple state and federal agencies and nonprofit organizations. Monitoring resources are pooled among the partners in a spatially balanced, probabilistic framework, which promotes a more efficient use of resources and allows us to monitor larger spatial and temporal extents compared to individual monitoring efforts.
