Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) biologists in the Environmental Protection and Compliance Division initiated a multi-year program in 2013 to monitor avifauna (birds) at two open detonation sites and one open burn site on LANL property. In this annual report we compare monitoring results from these efforts among years to monitor trends. The objectives of this study are to 1) determine whether LANL operations impact bird species richness, diversity, or abundance and 2) examine occupancy and nest success of secondary-cavity nesting birds using nestboxes. LANL biologists completed the eighth year of this effort in 2020
