Publication from the NALCC co-funded project Identifying Important Migratory Landbird Stopover Sites in the Northeast. With many of the world’s migratory bird populations in alarming decline, broad‐scale assessments of responses to migratory hazards may prove crucial to successful conservation efforts. Most birds migrate at night through increasingly light‐polluted skies. Bright light sources can attract airborne migrants and lead to collisions with structures, but might also influence selection of migratory stopover habitat and thereby acquisition of food resources. We demonstrate, using multi‐year weather radar measurements of nocturnal migrants across the northeastern U.S., that autumnal migrant stopover density...

This report describes the results of efforts by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Monitoring and Non-Tidal Assessment Division to monitor and assess ecological changes in the Patapsco River associated with the removal of Simkins and Union Dams. There are six aspects of the Patapsco River’s ecosystem that were examined: anadromous fish, American eels, resident fish, benthic macroinvertebrates, freshwater mussels, and water quality. Each of these aspects is described in a separate chapter that includes a brief review of literature followed by a discussion of results from Patapsco monitoring. Prior to these chapters is an Introduction that describes the river and its dams. There is an Ecological Monitoring...

Dozens of species of landbirds, such as warblers, hummingbirds, and orioles, migrate through the Northeastern United States from their summer breeding grounds in the U.S. and Canada to their nonbreeding grounds as far south as South America. During the migration period, birds must find habitat where they can stop, rest and replenish their energy reserves. Conservation efforts are increasingly focused on identifying stopover sites that are important for sustaining migratory landbird populations. This project builds upon prior work by the University of Delaware and USGS to use weather surveillance data and field surveys to map and predict important migratory bird stopover sites.This project was co-funded by through...
