EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Human impacts on tidal salt marshes of San Francisco Bay have drastically reduced and
degraded this important habitat. Tidal marshes are biologically productive, and are an
integral part of the proper functioning of the overall bay ecosystem. They are also home
to a number of state and federal listed endangered or threatened species of plants and
animals. Recognizing the importance of this habitat in the San Francisco Bay, many
agencies and organizations have planned or completed wetland restoration projects in
the Bay. Restoring wetlands to functioning tidal marsh habitat requires monitoring
measures to assess the health and success of restoration sites relative to natural
marshes.
Many bird species depend on tidal marsh habitat to nest and raise their young.
Populations of these tidal marsh dependant birds have declined significantly due to the
loss of habitat around the Bay. A number of these birds have special conservation
status, such as the federally Endangered Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus),
State of California Threatened Black Rail (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus), and four
State Species of Special Concern: Alameda Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia
pusillula), San Pablo Song Sparrow (M. m. samuelis), Suisun Song Sparrow (M. m.
maxillaris), and Salt Marsh Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas sinuosa).
Although these birds have been well studied, little is known of the long-term trends of
their populations because of the lack of long-term monitoring studies.
PRBO Conservation Science (formerly the Point Reyes Bird Observatory) began a long-
term monitoring project in 1996 to study the tidal marsh birds of the San Francisco Bay.
Combined data from point count surveys and demographic data from nest monitoring
has allowed PRBO to understand how tidal marsh birds respond to both physical and
biological processes. This report presents the results of our 2003 breeding season
studies in the San Francisco Bay.
We conducted point count surveys at 39 marshes in the 2003 breeding season (March
through July). The point count method makes it possible to compare yearly bird
population data at fixed points, and to assess patterns of abundance. Trained observers
recorded birds detected by sight and sound within five minutes during two rounds of
surveys at each site. Cumulative species richness (total number of species detected)
December 30, 2003 2
was calculated across both rounds of surveys. A density index for each focal taxon
(Song Sparrow, Common Yellowthroat, Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris), and Black
Rail) was calculated for each point and each round using detections within 50m of the
observer; the mean at each site for each round was then averaged to produce a single
density index for each site. Similarly derived data from 2000 and 2001 were included for
comparison with 2003 data. Black and Clapper Rail data were included in the above
data summaries, although point count surveys generally do not detect all rails present.
Black Rails were detected during the breeding season at a total of 21 sites, while
Clapper Rails were detected at 8 sites. Song Sparrows were the most abundant of our
focal species, detected at all except one site. Density indices for 2003 in all three bays
were higher for Song Sparrows than in 2000 and 2001. Common Yellowthroats seem to
prefer sites with tall vegetation, and in 2003 abundances were highest in Suisun Bay
(although lower than both 2000 and 2001), but relatively low in San Francisco and San
Pablo Bays (although higher than both 2000 and 2001). Similarly, Marsh Wrens prefer
tall vegetation for breeding, and their abundances followed the same trend as the
Common Yellowthroats. At restoration sites (not included in the abundance indices
discussed above), the trends varied by site.
Nests were monitored at two sites using standardized methodology that includes
techniques to minimize disturbance to the birds and habitat. Nest monitoring allows
measurement of reproductive success and therefore is an indication of population
health. Nest survival probability was calculated both by basic proportion of successful
nests, and by the Mayfield method, that calculates success based on average daily
survival probability. Observers who used behavioral clues to estimate territory
boundaries mapped breeding territories. The number of territories in the study area can
be used to calculate the density of breeding birds at each marsh.
Analysis of 2003 data indicates that, relative to previous years, nest success for our
focal species breeding in San Francisco Bay tidal marshes was relatively high. A total of
371 nests of 10 species were found in 2003 at the two nest monitoring sites, China
Camp and Benicia. Of these, 338 were Song Sparrow nests. Since this species is the
most abundant breeding species in SF Bay, Song Sparrows are used as an indicator
species for trends in reproductive success, assuming similarities across taxa at each
site. Previous years have shown that nests in San Pablo Bay are more successful than
Suisun. However, in 2003 the success rate was higher in Suisun (Benicia) than San
December 30, 2003 3
Pablo Bay (China Camp). Reproductive success of Song Sparrows derived using the
Mayfield method was 21.9% at China Camp (27.6% using raw proportions), and 35.8%
at Benicia (42.9% raw proportions).

INTRODUCTION Throughout the world, tidal salt marshes have faced and continue to endure threats from
humans (Adam 2002). The tidal marshes of San Francisco Bay, since their
establishment approximately 10,000 years ago (Atwater 1979, Atwater et al. 1979,
Josselyn 1983), have played an important role in maintaining proper functioning of the
Bay ecosystem. During the last 200 years, however, the system has been altered and
broken down through human induced habitat conversion and loss (Nichols et al. 1986).
Habitat losses in San Francisco Bay include a 79% reduction of tidal marsh habitat and
42% reduction of tidal flat habitat (Goals 1999).
Over the past ten years, tidal marsh habitat acreage in San Francisco Bay has seen a
resurgence through an unprecedented period of wetland acquisition and restoration. In
1994, the Cargill Salt Company, owner and operator of almost all salt ponds around the
Bay, sold over 4,000 ha of its salt pond complex in the North San Francisco Bay
(hereafter, North Bay) to the State of California (Siegel and Bachand 2002). In March
2003, Cargill sold over 6,000 additional ha of salt pond operations in the South San
Francisco Bay (hereafter, South Bay) to the State of California and the federal
government (Sample 2003). In addition to the salt ponds, many other wetland
restoration projects have been completed or planned in the Bay (see
http://www.wetlandtracker.org), with a wide range of management plans, performance
criteria, and monitoring activities. Most of the habitat that was sold or that is being
restored is slated for restoration back to some form of tidal marsh habitat.
A dominant feature of the coastal tidal marsh habitat in San Francisco Bay is its avian
community (Bollman et al. 1970, Josselyn 1983). How this community has changed in
light of the changes in habitat of the Bay is unknown, since historical data on bird
numbers in the Bay are lacking until the latter part of the 1900s. Undoubtedly, numbers
of tidal marsh dependent birds have declined significantly given the massive loss of their
habitat (Marshal and Dedrick 1994, see also Nichols et al. 1986). For instance, by 1927,
Grinnell and Wythe (1927) reported that the Clapper Rail, formerly a common resident in
the Bay, was rare. This loss of tidal marsh habitat currently is reflected by the number of
San Francisco Bay tidal marsh dependent birds of special conservation status such as
December 30, 2003 5
the Clapper Rail, Black Rail, Alameda Song Sparrow, San Pablo Song Sparrow, Suisun
Song Sparrow, and Salt Marsh Common Yellowthroat (Nur et al. 1997, Goals Project
2000, Spautz and Nur 2002).
These different populations and species of birds have been the focus of various studies
(e.g. Clapper Rail - Harvey 1988, Albertson 1995, Garcia 1995; Black Rail - Manolis
1978, Evens et al. 1989, 1991; Song Sparrow - Marshall 1948, Johnson 1956, Chan and
Arcese 2002; Salt marsh Common Yellowthroat - Marshal and Dedrick 1994), yet little of
this work has been long-term. Because of the lack of long-term monitoring, few
quantitative data exist on the trends of tidal marsh birds for San Francisco Bay.
While PRBO Conservation Science (formerly Point Reyes Bird Observatory) has been
studying San Francisco Bay's tidal marsh birds since the early 1980s, in 1996 PRBO
began a long-term monitoring project focusing on San Francisco Bay's tidal marsh birds.
Using a combination of yearly point count data from over 60 sites in the Bay and yearly
demographic data collected at up to 5 sites in the Bay (Fig. 1a,b), PRBO has been able
to develop a picture of how tidal marsh birds respond to the combined heterogeneity of
physical and biological processes and, ultimately, landscape in the Bay. Here, we report
on the 2003 results of our San Francisco Bay tidal marsh research.
METHODS
Point count surveys
Variable circular plot point count surveys (Reynolds et al. 1980; Ralph et al. 1995; Nur et
al. 1999) were conducted at 39 marshes during spring 2003 (Fig. 1a,b; Table 1).
Surveys were conducted within 4 hours of sunrise, one or two times between March 25
and June 1. Successive rounds were conducted at least 3 weeks apart.
PRBO field biologists with extensive knowledge of songs and calls of the birds in the
area conducted all censuses. Survey points were placed 150 to 200 m apart, with one
to 12 points per site depending on marsh size. The smallest marsh fragments were
completely surveyed from one point. At each point, the observer recorded all birds
detected by sight and sound for five minutes. For detections within 100 m from the
observer, distance was estimated within 10 m bands; detection type (visual or auditory)
December 30, 2003 6
was also recorded for each bird. Because passive point counts have lower detection
rates of Black and Clapper Rails than counts using tape playbacks of rail calls,
observers also recorded any spontaneous detections of these species at survey
marshes between point counts.
To estimate of the minimum number of individuals present at each marsh site during the
breeding season, detections within 100 m of the point count of each focal species and of
all species detected were totaled for the first round of surveys. Most surveys cover only
a portion of a site and thus counts are usually incomplete. We then calculated the
cumulative species richness (total number of species detected) across both breeding
season surveys.
A density index (birds per ha) for each focal taxon (including rails) at each survey point
was calculated separately for each round of surveys using detections within 50 m of the
observer; we averaged these means for each site at each round and then calculated the
mean of the two surveys to produce a single density index for each site. Since some
point count sites were not surrounded by continuous tidal marsh habitat, the percent
area of marsh within 50 m of each point was derived using existing GIS data (SFEI
1998) and visually confirmed for each point. The density index was adjusted by the
actual area of marsh.
We compared mean density indices of Song Sparrow, Common Yellowthroat, Marsh
Wren, and Black Rail by bay (excluding restoration sites) with abundances of these taxa
in 2000 and 2001. The same point count survey methods were used in these earlier
years. In 2001 we conducted standardized surveys for Black Rails for a more accurate
estimate of their density; we compared these results with the point count data. The 2001
Black Rail surveys were conducted following the tape call-back/response protocol used
by Evens et al. (1991; Nur et al. 1997). The protocol involves listening passively for 1-
min at each point, then broadcasting tape-recorded black rail vocalizations. Detection
data were recorded for all Black Rails and other rail species heard during the 6-min
period. The mean density index was calculated using the methods described above for
point count data (i.e., birds per hectare using detections within 50 m of each point).
December 30, 2003 7
We also looked at the trends across time in focal species abundance at several of our
restoration monitoring sites for which we had sufficient data to compare among years:
Petaluma River Marsh (Carl’s Marsh), Greenpoint Centennial, Pond 2A, and White
Slough.
Reproductive success
Nest monitoring allows measurement of reproductive success (e.g., clutch size, number
of broods, number of nesting attempts) in specific habitats and provides information on
population health (Martin and Geupel 1993).
Field biologists searched for and monitored nests at China Camp State Park, Marin
County; and Benicia State Park, Solano County (points 13 and 14 in Fig. 1a, Table 1) in
tidal marsh habitat during the breeding season (March 1 to July 30, 2003). Nests have
been monitored by PRBO at these two sites yearly since 1996. We monitored nests of
the following species and subspecies: Samuels Song Sparrow, Suisun Song Sparrow,
Salt Marsh Common Yellowthroat, Marsh Wren, California Black Rail, Red-winged
Blackbird (Agelaius phoniceus), and other species as nests were encountered (Table 2).
Song Sparrows are the taxa on which much of the reproductive success monitoring is
focused because these nests are the most abundant and the most easily found. We
assume that the trends in reproductive success, including predation rates, are similar
across taxa; thus Song Sparrows act as an indicator species.
At each site, four focal study plots each containing at least 10 pairs of Song Sparrows
were established; within these areas as many nests as possible of all species were
located and monitored using standardized methodology (Martin and Geupel 1993).
More than 30 specific pairs of Song Sparrows at each marsh were tracked throughout
the season so that all nesting attempts could be found. Nests were located at all stages
(construction, egg-laying, incubation, and nestling periods, as well as after use). Nests
were checked every 2 to 4 days, with careful attention given to minimizing human
disturbance. These precautionary measures included keeping visits brief, minimizing
disturbance to the area around a nest, and staying clear of nest sites when predators
were detected nearby. Nest contents were recorded at each visit and the ultimate
outcome of each nest was decided based on nest condition and behavior of the breeding
December 30, 2003 8
pair. Nestlings were banded on the 7th or 8 th day with USGS numbered bands and a
unique combination of colored leg bands to facilitate field identification after fledging.
The proportion of nests surviving the nesting period was calculated in two ways:
1) The proportion of successful nests, which is defined as the number of successful
nests divided by the total number of nests of known outcome of that species
observed active in each marsh
2) A widely used method developed by Mayfield (1975), which takes into account the
number of days each nest was observed to be active. This method reduces the bias
due to successful nests being active longer and therefore easier to detect while failed
nests that fail quickly are more difficult to detect. Thus this method is preferred to
one which calculates success based on the observed proportion of nests that are
successful. The average daily survival rate (the probability of a nest surviving one
day) is first calculated and then raised to the power equal to the number of days in
the nest cycle for an estimate of the probability of a nest surviving for the nest period.
Survival may vary between egg laying, incubation, and the nestling period, so we
calculated values for each phase separately as well as for the entire nest cycle. We
follow Johnson (1979) in carrying out simple statistical tests of Mayfield-calculated
nest success values (see Nur et al. 1999).
Territory mapping
Breeding territories were mapped of all individuals of all species breeding within a
defined area within each nest-monitoring site. Territory mapping involves observing the
behavior of each pair, particularly singing and territory defense behavior, to define the
approximate territory boundary. The region mapped included the territories where nests
were monitored (where territory boundaries were the most accurately discerned), but
also included additional adjacent habitat as defined in previous years. A minimum of
four visits were made to the entire mapped area, twice during the first half of the season
to produce mid-season maps (before May 1) and at least twice during the late season,
between May 1 and June 30. Although territories boundaries are dynamic, and
individuals commonly appear or disappear during the season (PRBO unpubl. data), the
best possible estimates of territory locations and the locations of color-banded birds
were made by combining data at mid-season and at late season. Here we only present
data from the late season, because by that time highly inconspicuous individuals are
December 30, 2003 9
usually detected and territory boundaries are probably more accurately mapped than
earlier in the season. We only present territory maps of Song Sparrow, which was the
most thoroughly mapped species.
We counted the number of territories in each study area within each marsh and divided it
by the area studied to derive a calculation of the density of breeding birds for each
marsh. This number can be compared with the density index derived from point count
surveys to determine the accuracy of the survey sampling methods.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Our preliminary analyses indicate that 2003 was a relatively good year for the tidal
marsh bird species we studied in the San Francisco Bay; populations appear to be
stable, at least on the scale that we examined. Song Sparrow nest success was
relatively high, and abundances of all focal taxa appear to be at least as high as they
were in 2000 and 2001.
Point count surveys
The total number of breeding birds of all taxa detected ranged from 20 to approximately
500 birds per site, depending on marsh size and marsh characteristics (Table 3).
Species richness likewise ranged from 1 to 27 species per site across the region (Table
3).
Song Sparrows were the most abundant of the focal species detected during surveys at
all except one site (Pond 2A, where Marsh Wrens were more abundant), and were
detected at virtually every site. All other focal taxa were present at some sites and
absent from others (Table 3 & 4). Song Sparrow densities were highest at some of the
smaller marshes including China Camp marsh fragments and Petaluma River Marsh
(Carl’s Marsh); this could be because those sites have a large proportion of upper marsh
and edge habitat which Song Sparrows favor (PRBO unpubl. data). Song Sparrows
appear to have been more abundant in 2003 than in 2000 and 2001 (Fig. 2a). Mean
detections in 2003 appeared to be similar to those in 1996 (Nur et al. 1997), for sites that
were surveyed in both years.

Black Rails were detected at two sites in San Francisco Bay where they are not known
to breed on a regular basis: Newark Slough and Faber Laumeister Tract; but these
detections were not verified by biologists with more experience identifying rails. Black
Rails are typically detected during the breeding season at most sites in San Pablo Bay.
This year they were not detected in San Pablo Bay at Corte Madera Ecological Reserve,
Greenpoint Restoration, Carl’s Marsh, Point Pinole, or Tolay Creek (sites where they are
usually detected). Overall rail density indices (using point count data) in Suisun and San
Pablo Bay appeared to be lower in 2003 than in 2000 and 2001 (Fig. 2b). As evidenced
by the large difference in 2001 between density indices estimated with point counts and
rail tape-response surveys (the latter numbers were 3 to 4 times higher than the former),
point counts are not likely to give an accurate count; and thus it is difficult to estimate
true trends with point count data.
Clapper Rails were detected at eight marshes (Table 3). They were not detected during
point counts at many sites where they have been detected in previous years, including
Dumbarton, Hayward or Palo Alto Baylands; or in San Pablo Bay at Black John Slough,
Black Point, or White Slough. All other sites where rails were not detected (including
Alameda Creek, Emeryville Crescent, Ravenswood and Whaletail marshes in San
Francisco Bay; all sites in Suisun Bay; and Mare Island Lower Tubbs, Petaluma Marsh
and Point Pinole in San Pablo Bay) are not sites where they are usually found.
However, these results are not definitive because Clapper Rails were not surveyed using
tape playbacks.
Common Yellowthroats are typically absent from sites lacking tall vegetation (PRBO
unpubl. data), and 2003 was no exception. Abundances were relatively low in San
Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay, and highest in Suisun across all years surveyed
(Tables 3 & 4). In Suisun Bay, abundances in 2003 were lower than in 2000 and 2001;
in San Pablo and San Francisco Bay, abundances were slightly higher (Fig. 2c).
Marsh Wrens are similar to Common Yellowthroats in that they require tall vegetation for
breeding (PRBO unpubl. data). In San Francisco Bay, Marsh Wrens were most
December 30, 2003 11
abundant at the sites with the highest invasion of smooth cordgrass, Spartina
alterniflora, including Alameda Creek and Hayward Regional Shoreline; in San Pablo
and Suisun they were associated with marshes containing large proportions of Scirpus
spp. (bulrush) (Table 3 & 4). In all three years, Marsh Wrens were most abundant in
Suisun Bay. Numbers were lower in Suisun and higher in the remaining bays in 2003
than in 2000 and 2001 (Fig 2d).
Restoration sites
Changes across years in bird abundances would be expected to be more pronounced at
early restoration sites (sites where vegetation is changing rapidly) than at older sites.
Song Sparrow densities increased only at Carl’s Marsh (Fig. 3a-d), where marsh
vegetation is rapidly becoming established. Marsh Wrens were also more abundant in
2003 at Greenpoint and Petaluma River Marsh, but numbers appeared to be stable at
White Slough (Fig. 3a-d). Common Yellowthroat numbers were low at restoration sites;
abundance increased slightly at only White Slough and Pond 2A (Fig. 3a-d), both sites
with significant cover of Scirpus, and where habitat is not changing rapidly.
Reproductive success
A total of 371 nests of 10 species were found in 2003 at the two study sites (China
Camp and Benicia; Table 2). The most abundant species in the marsh, Song Sparrow,
was also the species for which the most nests were found; in 2003 we found 338 nests.
Of these nests, 243 were found when active, and were used for Mayfield and
proportional nest success calculations (Table 5). Overall Mayfield reproductive success
at China Camp was 21.9% (27.6% using raw proportions). Song Sparrows were more
successful at Benicia where overall 42.9% of nests were successful, or 35.8% using
Mayfield calculations. This difference was not statistically significant (z test)
Reproductive success varies from year to year and between bays: nests tend to be more
successful in San Pablo than Suisun sites (Fig. 4.) However, in 2003 the success rate
was higher in Benicia (Suisun) than at China Camp (San Pablo Bay). Benicia’s nest
success was higher in 2003 than it was during any of the years we have monitored since
1996, but China Camp was about average.
December 30, 2003 12
Territory density
Song Sparrow territory densities varied among marshes and among study sites within
each marsh (Table 6). Densities were higher at China Camp than at Benicia State
Park. At both sites, densities in the intensive areas were higher than the overall
densities. Potential reasons for this include: 1) a bias in selecting the intensive plots in
the densest areas of Song Sparrows; and/or 2) fewer inconspicuous birds were detected
and counted in the non-intensive areas because less time was spent there.
As expected, true densities of Song Sparrow individuals at these two study sites,
assuming each territory was made up of two breeding adults, were higher than the
density indices calculated using point count survey methods. Spot mapping is more
accurate in determining true population sizes than are point count methods. In fact,
point count survey methods, unless they use distance-sampling, are not assumed to
determine “true population sizes”, but provide an index of population density. However,
we can refine our estimates using DISTANCE software (Buckland et al. 2001), which
models detection functions and allows an estimate of true density (see Nur et al. 1997
and Spautz and Nur 2002 about use and interpretation of DISTANCE).

under observation (see text) 2 The success rate for each phase or period of the nest cycle is calculated as the daily survival for the period to the nth power
where n = the number of days in the period: laying = 1.996 days, incubation = 11.661, nestling = 9.145. 3 The proportion successful is the number of nests that fledged at least one young divided by the total number of active nests
found. Here the sample size includes only nests used for Mayfield calculations, i.e. nests observed while still active.
