Methods

Winter resident bird populations were monitored each January since 1973 (except 1977 and 1979) in the Guánica Forest of southwest Puerto Rico. First, using one 200 m netline during 1973-1988. Then, new netlines were added in 1989-1991. The same lines were run since 1991, a total of 1800 m of mist-nets. Each netline was operated for three consecutive days from dawn to dark. All captured birds were marked and released. Numbers of birds captured annually per species are reported. This dataset represents only years only from 1991 onwards
