Rest-rotation grazing, defined as lack of livestock grazing in a pasture for 15-18 months, is suggested to improve the quality of sagebrush, shrubland, and grassland habitat for a wide range of species. However, little work has been done to evaluate impacts of rest-rotation grazing on migratory avian species which serve as indicators of sagebrush ecosystem integrity. Evaluating the impacts of rest-rotation grazing using indicator species can provide valuable insight into how rest-rotation grazing may affect multiple species in the ecosystem.Our research is focused on how different grazing systems, rest-rotation and traditional, change songbird community structure (e.g., species abundance and richness). Traditional...
