Bird banding data collected at a protected area in southern Belize, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, using the Monitoreo de Sobrevivencia Invernal (MoSI - Monitoring Overwintering Survival) protocol developed by The Institute for Bird Populations (IBP). Data was collected from December 2016 to March 2017.

Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (CBWS) is a protected area in the south-central part of Belize co-managed by the Belize Forest Department and a Non-Governmental Organization, Belize Audubon Society. CBWS is comprised of a tropical moist forest with warm temperatures and high rainfall. Elevation extremes are 50 m (160 ft) above sea level in the lower reaches to 1,160 m (3,810 ft) atop Victoria Peak, the second highest mountain in Belize.

This dataset was developed based on MoSI banding data collected at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary as part of long term bird monitoring in Belize. The dataset includes data on both resident birds of Belize and migrants. Having data on birds in Belize will allow information to be generated on abundance, distribution, diversity etc.
The maintenance frequency is not planned.

The data was collected using the MoSI protocol.
Data was collected at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize from November 2016 to March 2017.
The data was collected following the MoSI protocol in which 16 mist-nets are set up at a station covering approximately 9 hectares. The station is operated for three days every month from November to March. Mist-nets are opened at sunrise and checked every half hour for a total of six hours per day. Birds caught in the nets are safely extracted and taken back to a processing station where they are identified to the species level. The data is also collected on fat, age, sex, weight etc. All resident and migrant songbirds captured in the nets are banded except for hummingbirds.
The station is operated by experienced and certified bird banders and assistants. Ageing and sexing resources and materials are used to properly age and sex birds and photos are taken for references.
Improving Natural Resources Management in Belize through Mobilization of Biodiversity Data

This project aims to compile and analyze several large existing bird datasets of Belize. The University of Belize Environmental Research Institute will coordinate the mobilization of Belize's existing un-compiled bird data through eBird and GBIF network. This will be done in collaboration with two main partners: the Forest Department, regulatory agency responsible for enforcing policies and regulations for sustainable management of its natural resources and Belize Audubon Society (BAS), a non-governmental organization that co-manages seven protected areas in Belize.
This project was made possible through the GBIF BID Programme
Data for this project was collected at several locations in Belize including protected areas and private land. For this particular dataset, data was collected at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary which is a protected area located in the southern part of the country that is co-managed by BAS.
Partners/stakeholders were contacted to assist in contributing digitized and un-digitized bird data towards this project. Data Sharing Agreements were signed between the UB ERI and partners before data was utilized and submitted. Data was collected jointly by UB ERI and BAS.
