We used murrelet occupancy data collected by the Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District and canopy metrics calculated from discrete return airborne LiDAR data to fit a logistic regression model predicting the probability of occupancy. Our final model for stand-level occupancy included distance to coast and 5 LiDAR-derived variables describing canopy structure. This dataset is a shapefile of forest stands in the Coos Bay district representing the model results.
