Robust assessments of nesting periods and durations for many grassland-nesting birds in the Great Plains are lacking. The timing of management practices (e.g., grazing, haying, mowing, burning) will invariably have different benefits or impacts to different guilds of birds. Our goal is to inform decisions about timing of management practices with research to provide an improved quantification and understanding of contemporary nesting season patterns for grassland birds. Results from this project could aid program managers through improved assessments of tradeoffs from the timing of management actions for various priority birds in the Great Plains.

North American Grassland ecosystems are a regional priority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).And in order to implement Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) planning the FWS Grasslands EcosystemTeam (GET) needs to better understand the threat of climate change. Based on survey results of GET’sknowledge and needs, we propose to deliver targeted training to enhance the GETs ability tostrategically address climate issues in conservation planning. To date, the GET has successfullyaddressed other grassland threats (e.g., land conversion) but without this training the GET will behandicapped in their ability to fully integrate climate impacts and adaptation into the grassland SHC.

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.

Grassland habitat losses to woody encroachment iswidespread and ongoing intheSandhills.Many grassland-obligate bird species are not able to use encroached areas, although exact tolerance levels are not known. Long-and short-term effects of woody encroachment removal and control have not yet been determined. More information about the interactions between breeding birds and woody encroachment can help our partnership be more efficient and effective when taking actions intendedto benefit declining species.
