Coastal Cactus Wren Field Monitoring Services

The contract entails conducting field surveys to monitor the nesting activity, habitat use, and population trends of the coastal cactus wren within the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. The work includes seasonal bird counts and detailed behavioral observations to assess species health and ecological dynamics over time, supporting conservation efforts in a sensitive coastal ecosystem. All activities will be performed on-site in San Diego, with data collection designed to provide scientifically valid insights into the bird’s response to environmental changes and human impacts. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services, is posted by San Diego County and is part of broader ecological monitoring initiatives in the region. While no funding amount or performance period is specified, the work is expected to follow established protocols for avian field research, with results contributing to regional habitat management and species protection strategies. The project’s location and focus indicate its alignment with state and local conservation priorities, particularly for threatened or data-sensitive native species.
