File Octet Stream Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warbler Habitat in the Aspen Parkland Transition Zone of Canada
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:50 PM — filed under: , ,
The Aspen Parkland Transition Zone comprises the contact zone between the prairie parkland and the greater boreal ecosystems (Figure 1). Whereas the prairie biome is dominated by grasses and the boreal biome by coniferous tree species and mixed woods, the Aspen Parkland Transition Zone is dominated by deciduous trees, especially Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides) and Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa), in complex mosaics with grassland and wetlands. The Aspen Parkland Transition Zone is the only remaining large area within the Golden-winged Warbler range where Blue-winged Warbler does not occur. Thus, maintaining healthy populations of Golden-winged Warbler in this area is critical.

Thinning Forests to Save the Birds
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:59 PM — filed under: , ,
An interesting and informative 8-minute video that explains how tree harvests are critical to saving a host of bird species that rely on young forest habitat for part of their annual life cycle.

Managing for Healthy, Diverse Forests
by Bridgett Costanzo — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 10:59 PM — filed under: ,
How to manage for both wildlife habitat and timber value in Eastern forests by conducting responsible forest harvests that take the longer-term view instead of quick cash-outs. Up to 80% of the forests in Eastern States have experienced repeated "high-grade" or "diameter-limit" harvests that remove only the most valuable trees during each harvest, diminishing forest economics in the region and depleting wildlife.

Birds of a Feather on Working Lands

Storyboard discusses similarities between habitat needs of the Eastern golden-winged warbler and Western sage grouse, both bird species with declining populations due to habitat loss in working landscapes - but benefiting from NRCS Working Lands for Wildlife intervention.

Capture of GWWA on Nonbreeding Grounds
by Kristin Bomboy — published Mar 17, 2021 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 11:03 PM — filed under: , ,
While studying migratory birds on their Costa Rican wintering grounds in March 2017, associates at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History (RTPI) were able to add some important data to the understanding of Golden-wing Warbler biology. RTPI affiliate Sean Graesser, who was working in a remote rainforest reserve in northeastern Costa Rica with other RTPI staff on a tropical biology course for high school students, captured a gorgeous male Golden-winged Warbler. When he extracted it from the net to collect data and band it, he realized that this bird already had a uniquely numbered band on its leg – a band that Sean had put there himself a year ago! Since the bird was last seen in March of 2016, it had flown to North America – likely somewhere in that upper Great Lakes Region area, possibly nested and raised young against all odds, and returned to Costa Rica to overwinter. This bird looked healthy as could be and was getting ready to make the same trek again – possibly travelling as far as 6,000 miles each year between its breeding and wintering grounds.

Image Oak Regeneration
by Josselyn Lucas — published Feb 21, 2023 — last modified Jun 25, 2023 11:03 PM — filed under: , , ,
Competing species in the white oak range are shading out young white oaks thus preventing regeneration, resulting in a non-sustainable demographic dominated by older trees. Dr. Jeff Larkin is a professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at IUP, as well as the Forest Bird Habitat Coordinator for the American Bird Conservancy. He says: it's just as important for landowners and forest managers to 'look down' as it is to 'look up' when it comes to oak forest management and stewardship. These photos, taken by Dr. Larkin, demonstrate white oak regeneration within the forest understory.
