Boreal Partners in Flight is a coalition of individuals who are working together to help conserve bird populations throughout boreal regions of North America. Boreal Partners in Flight is the official Alaska state working group of the international Partners in Flight program. We also have many members from Canada because we share many of the same species, habitats, and problems.
The international program was started in 1990 because of concerns about continental declines in populations of many landbird species. Initially the program focused on species that breed in North America and winter in the Neotropics (Central and South America), but it now addresses all North American landbirds and other species that use terrestrial habitats, such as shorebirds, owls and grouse.
Who are we?
Boreal Partners in Flight is a network of more than 200 members across Alaska and Canada. Participants include federal land and resource agencies, state and provincial agencies, universities, Alaska Native corporations, and local environmental consulting firms. Nongovernmental organizations such as the Alaska Songbird Institute, the Alaska Natural Heritage Program, and local chapters of the National Audubon Society play key roles. The program is built on individual commitment, bringing together biologists, land managers, teachers, and birders into an active and dedicated community.

What are our objectives?
When Boreal Partners in Flight was first formed in November 1991, we were concerned with the downward trend in populations in other parts of the continent and realized that we knew little about the landbirds that breed in boreal regions. We decided to combine our efforts to determine the status of northern bird populations.
Our main objectives are to:
- Establish statewide bird inventory and monitoring programs.
- Conduct research on factors affecting the status of northern populations.
- Provide actionable information about birds to land managers in Alaska.
- Educate the public about the conservation of birds and their habitats.
- Share information with communities along migration routes and in wintering areas.
How are we organized?
How are we organized?
Boreal Partners in Flight meets as a statewide group once a year, usually in early December. At our annual meeting, we review progress from the past year, set priorities, and decide what new projects to work on during the upcoming year. Members elect a Chair who serves for two years to lead the efforts of the group and represent us at regional and national meetings.
Within the state we are organized into five Bird Conservation Regions (BCR):
- Aleutian and Bering Sea Islands (BCR 1)
- Western Alaska (BCR 2)
- Arctic Plains and Mountains (BCR 3)
- Northwestern Interior Forest (BCR 4)
- Northern Pacific Rainforest (BCR 5)
Each biogeographic region has a Chair who leads efforts within that part of the state during the year. We also have Committee Chairs to coordinate different statewide programs for monitoring, research, and education.
Membership is completely voluntary, and there is no funding directly associated with Boreal Partners in Flight. Members simply combine their efforts and resources to accomplish shared goals that conserve northern bird populations.

Welcome to the Alaska Landbird Resource Information System, the official web page for Boreal Partners in Flight! Thanks for taking the time to learn more about the Boreal Partners in Flight program and our efforts to understand and conserve northern populations of landbirds.
Landbird Research in Alaska
On this page, learn about USGS work with the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey (ALMS), Beak Deformities in Landbirds, and Boreal Partners in Flight (BPIF).
Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey
Alaska provides breeding habitat for more than 140 regularly occurring species of landbirds, half of which breed predominantly north of the U.S.–Canada border. The road-based North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) provides some data on population trends in Alaska, but most northern species are inadequately monitored by that continental program because of a paucity of roads. Boreal Partners in...
Beak Deformities in Landbirds
Over the past 26 years, Alaskans have witnessed a startling increase of beak deformities among Black-capped Chickadees and other species of resident birds. This disease, called avian keratin disorder (AKD), is characterized by debilitating beak overgrowth and other abnormalities of keratinized tissues. Affected birds have difficulty feeding and preening and may suffer high rates of mortality. If...

At our annual meeting, we review progress from the past year, set priorities, and decide what new projects to work on during the upcoming year. Below are meeting minutes and project summaries organized by year.
Bird Conservation Areas
Five Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) were designated in Alaska as part of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative in order to provide a framework that would facilitate coordinated conservation and evaluations of major bird initiatives.

Conservation of Landbirds in Alaska
Alaska lies at the convergence of four major global migration flyways and encompasses a diverse array of important landbird habitats. Temperate rainforests tower along the southern coast, boreal forests span the vast interior, and low-lying tundra blankets the continent’s northern and western fringes.
Monitoring and Research Boreal Partners in Flight Projects
Boreal Partners in Flight has five major regional projects designed to monitor broad-scale trends in populations of landbirds. There are also many projects throughout Alaska that address specific research questions or local monitoring needs.
Alaska Raptor Group
Thirty-one raptor species, including 18 species of diurnal raptors (Orders Accipitriformes and Falconiformes) and 13 species of owls (Order Strigiformes), have been documented in Alaska, 23 of which are known to breed within the state.
