Using a solutions-oriented, multi-agency collaboration, we propose to pilot a large-scale assessment of an alternative (herding, electric- and virtual-fence) grazing strategy designed to mimic pre-colonial grazing patterns by bison, to ascertain their value for local- and regional-scale assemblages ofsagebrush- and grassland-associated birds in Montana. A fundamental goal of most wildlife-based grazing programs is to foster a mosaic of patches that represent the broadest possible spectrum of habitat types that benefits different sagebrush- and grassland-associated birds in different parts of the landscape (for example, western meadowlarks, vesper sparrows, and thick-billed longspur in open, heavily grazed areas;...

Collaborative research project between Science Applications, Migratory Birds Program, and National Wildlife Refuge System to test the efficacy and applicabilty of the deploymant of a pilot MOTUS tracking array and nanotagging birds - to assess ability to determine demographics, migration timing, and nesting and wintering habitat selection of 4 priority species in the grasslands ecosystem. If sucessful, will aid the Service and conservation partners in strategic conservation delivery and monitoring.. Science Applications is providing funds for equipement acqisition and assissting in analyses.

Northeast Montana represents critical, core breeding habitat for many of our most imperiled grasslandsongbird species. USFWS has been working cross-programmatically and with a broad array of externalpartnerships in this region to maintain and enhance habitat for these species. However, to date we havenot adequately monitored birds response to these interventions to determine if and how much we arebenefiting populations. This project would provide that capability for at least a five-year period.
