This data product consists of a database of population change and abundance estimates for North American birds, estimated from North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data. Data are presented for 546 species of birds in 4 spreadsheets containing trend estimates and annual indices for 2 time periods. Estimates are derived for each species using the 1 of 4 alternative models, and a cross-validation model selection procedure was used to select the best model for each species. Metadata associated with this data product provides information specific to the associated analysis results; metadata for the BBS data are available at Ziolkowski, D.J., Lutmerding, M., English, W.B., Aponte, V.I., and Hudson, M-A.R., 2023, North American Breeding Bird Survey Dataset 1966 - 2023: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P136CRBV.
