Alaska Trumpeter Swan Survey The Alaska Trumpeter Swan Survey was an aerial survey conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Migratory Bird Management, Alaska Region (MBM-AK) and partners to monitor the status of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) in Alaska. It was first conducted in 1968 and then repeated at five-year intervals from 1975 through 2015. The objectives of the survey were to estimate the abundance, distribution (1968–2005 only), and productivity of trumpeter swans in late summer, when the swans were dispersed on breeding territories and cygnets were large enough to be easily counted from the air. Estimates were obtained for the abundance of white swans (swans >1 year old), cygnets, and total swans, as well...

With the overall goal of fostering resilient forests that support northeastern hemlock ecosystems and wildlife, researchers supported by this Northeast-CASC project will work with land managers to identify information gaps and to develop management plans and a decision support tool tailored to the specific ecological, economic, and cultural management goals of different forests. The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) is an invasive insect that has caused extensive hemlock death from Georgia to Maine in many of the densest...

S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Nongame Migratory Bird Management (MBM-AK) and the Southeast Alaska Ecological Services Field Office conducted a shipboard survey of Southeast Alaska (SEAK) to estimate population abundance and distribution of marine birds and sea otters. This baseline survey was conducted to monitor changes in bird and otter abundance over time. Specific objectives were to: (1) estimate summer abundance and density of marine birds and sea otters; (2) describe marine bird and sea otter distribution; (3) determine the relative abundance and densities of marine bird species groups; (4) document locations and abundance of marine bird nesting colonies encountered;...

Staging geese provide an opportunity to sample the population to determine an index of annual productivity because hatching year (HY) emperor geese retain gray/black plumage on their head and neck that contrasts with the complete white head plumage of adult geese (Pyle 2008, Baldassare 2014). This plumage difference is used to age classify geese (i.e. HY vs. adult) in aerial photographs. The objective of this study was to calculate an annual estimate of the proportion of HY emperor geese in the fall staging population. This estimate...

Invasive plants harm water quality, occupy habitat for native species, reduce recreation opportunities, and damage infrastructure such as pumps and dams. Resource managers from federal, state, and local agencies, as well as local non-profits, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on monitoring and exterminating invasive plants. Management costs and damages are likely to rise as climate change warms temperatures and reduces rainfall across the basin, expanding potential habitat for invasive plants and affecting the effectiveness of management. For some time, scientists have recognized the potential...

The resource priorities for the Highlands Conservation Act are forest, water, agriculture, and biodiversity, plus additional screening information on environmental justice and probability of development are included. These priorities were developed in 2024 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with support from the Highlands’ Science Advisory Team. The purpose of this project is to create spatial information representing these resources that are...

However, little is known about migratory movements and connectivity of shorebird populations. By identifying migratory stop-over and wintering areas, we can begin to identify sites that should be conserved and evaluate the relative risks of development and climate change scenarios. From 2021 to 2023, we equipped Buff-breasted Sandpipers in the central coast of Texas in the United States, the Colombian Llanos, and northeast of Cambridge Bay in Canada with GPS tracking devices. The principal objectives of this study were to investigate short-term...
