Landbirds were assigned to a Migration Strategy/Occurrence category largely according to Peterjohn and Sauer (1993); these are identical to those used in the Environment and Climate Change Canada Breeding Bird Survey guild analysis. For a few landbirds not assigned a category by Peterjohn and Sauer (1993), designations were added based on WildSpace (Wildspace 2008). Categories for shorebirds, seabirds and waterbirds (excluding waterfowl) were based on WildSpace with revisions made by Environment and Climate Change Canada staff. In a few cases it was not possible to assign a strategy; these species have not been categorized.
