The US Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) has experienced some of the highest rates of grassland loss in North America over a time that coincides with dramatic declines in grassland songbird populations yet increasing abundance of most grassland-nesting duck species except for northern pintail. To provide more insight into this contradiction, we propose to capitalize on long-term databases to evaluate how a key population driver nest survival for North American ducks has responded to system changes in the region including landscape and climatic factors. Outcomes of these analyses will contribute to testing primary conservation planning assumptions for the PPJV a vital component of the PPJV Strategic Habitat Conservation...

This region-wide coordinated bird monitoring program, supported by state, federal, tribal, nongovernmental organizations, and two statewide bird conservation partnerships, is designed to provide spatially-referenced baseline data for science-based biological planning and conservation design for the Great Northern LCC and its partners that is directly comparable with other landscapes and BCRs. We are requesting a third year of funding to continue sampling in BCR10 Montana and Idaho to enhance our ability to make robust inference to bird populations on grassland, shrublands, and riparian systems. These data currently are being used by project partners to develop spatially-explicit models that will allow assessment...

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.

This project will partially support a PhD student at South Dakota State University (SDSU) advised by a diverse partnership engaged in wetlands conservation in SD (e.g., USFWS, SDGFP, NRCS, PPJV, NGOs). It will use recent advancements in remote sensing technology and analytical frameworks to identify the location and type of drained wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region of eastern South Dakota. There will be multiple practical uses of these data, with the following hierarchical objectives, which may be expanded as resources allow: 1) quantify, spatially delineate, and classify drained wetland basins in eastern South Dakota and compile them in a format useable by habitat delivery constituents (e.g., USFWS, USDA-NRCS,...

This project expands upon an already funded SGI initiative to optimize locations for conifer removal to benefit sage-grouse using the Falkowski conifer map layer (funded through LCMAP grant) and Doherty breeding density map. Adds capability to also optimize for sagebrush dependent songbirds (and potentially pygmy rabbits) while minimizing impacts to PJ obligates such as Pinyon Jays. Will import directly into dashboard decision support tool.
