Habitat Management to Conserve the Sprague's Pipit II PP Spragues Pipit breed exclusively in the northern Great Plains. They are habitat specialists that require patches of relatively tall, native grass cover. Largely due to land conversion, less than 18% of the grassland in the breeding range of the Spragues Pipit remains. This project will build on a previous grant to create critical habitat for the pipit through modified grazing management, working with willing land managers. The grantee will improve the habitat by deferment of grazing (3,590 acres); compare the pipit's use of those lands to nearby controls; and provide outreach to ranchers and agencies on management options to conserve this important migratory species. The long-term goal of this project is to provide enough habitat to reverse the pipits decline in population locally, increasing the estimated population by a minimum of 1% (approximately 800 individuals).
ACTIONABLE SCIENCE FOR GRASSLAND BIRD CO The non-breeding season is pivotal to migratory grassland bird conservation, yet little is known of the limiting factors affecting non-breeding populations and how management actions can best mitigate threats to support stable grassland bird populations across the Chihuahuan Desert. This region is a mosaic of communal and private lands managed for agriculture and ranching. As such, identifying actionable conservation solutions that benefit grassland birds while sustaining local livelihoods is critical. Shrub encroachment represents a major threat to grasslands with economic and environmental consequences. However, uncertainty about the direction and magnitude of bird responses to shrubs across different scales could lead to inefficiencies in shrub management practices, with unintended negative consequences. Partners aim to understand the spatial and temporal scales at which habitat quality (i.e., shrubs) and climate (i.e., precipitation and temperature) drive population and movement dynamics of grassland birds across the Chihuahuan Desert. They will supplement existing grassland bird winter monitoring efforts throughout northern Mexico to determine seasonal shifts in occupancy dynamics in response to weather and management, focusing on Baird's and Grasshopper Sparrows. Grantees will continue establishing a network of automated radio telemetry (Motus) stations to link local and landscape-level habitat use with demographic and movement data that may underlie regional occupancy dynamics.
U.S.-MEXICO GRASSLAND BIRD CONSERVATION In this phase partners will: 1) expand the Sustainable Grazing Network (SGN) to enroll and protect at least another 10,000 acres, 2) enhance at least 10,000 acres of SGN grasslands through improved grazing management, 3) restore at least 100 acres of degraded grasslands through shrub control, keyline or other intensive restoration techniques, 4) monitor grassland birds on SGN lands to assess impact, 5) train biologists in grassland bird monitoring and rangeland extension, 6) conduct outreach to SGN ranchers and managers using the results of our bird and vegetation monitoring to inform adaptive management, 7) permanently protect 514.5 acres of grasslands and foothill shrublands in Larimer County, Colorado from exurban development, and 8) assist local governments in conserving grassland birds through monitoring populations on protected open space lands. Through this multi-pronged approach, we aim to increase wintering populations of Sprague's Pipits and other high priority species, including Baird's Sparrow and Chestnut-collared Longspur, on SGN lands over the next 5-10 years and maintain breeding grassland bird populations in Larimer County, Colorado. The proposed activities will be conducted in cooperation with a broad network of regional and international partners for maximum impact, efficiency and synergy.
Coordination of Science and Research U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Service) staff will work cooperatively with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) to develop and implement a range of science development, implementation, and coordination activities as described in the statement of work submitted with the application. Specifically, the Service participates in the semi-annual science coordination meetings with other federal agencies and AFWA to prioritize the activities of AFWA Science Coordination Team, based on input from various Service program areas and other agencies in their ongoing activities and science needs, review performance on recent activities, and revise tactics and strategies as necessary to meet goals. Based on identified goals and strategies from these coordination meetings, Service staff from various program areas work with the AFWA science staff to implement these science strategies via various cooperative Federal/State/Private teams and committees including the FWS Climate Change Team, the North American Bird Conservation Initiative, National Fish Habitat Action Plan, the AFWA Science and Research Committee, Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, the Endangered Species Task Force, and the National Invasive Species Council.

Habitat Management to Conserve the Sprague's Pipit II PP This project will create critical habitat for the Spragues Pipit through modified grazing management with willing land managers in the northern Great Plains.

ARCTIC SHOREBIRD TRACKING Many North American shorebird species are declining at alarming rates and it is not known why. Analyses of data collected by the Arctic Shorebird Demographics Network (ASDN) showed annual survival rates of adult shorebirds are generally robust at Arctic breeding sites and that conditions on migratory stopover or overwintering sites are likely driving annual survival rates. Partners began a multi-year study in 2017 to deploy tracking devices to determine where birds go once they leave the breeding grounds. This proposal requests funds to better understand movements of birds across the entire ranges of the species. Partners will focus on American Golden-Plover and Red Phalarope, two Neotropical migrants both declining and facing imminent threats that can only be resolved by learning where and when the species migrate in more detail than is currently known. In Alaska and Canada, partners will deploy recently developed, light-weight GPS-Argos and PTT-Argos tag technology with the ability to indicate bird location very accurately. These locations reflect the habitat preferences of the species and can be geo-referenced with landscape features to assess the local threats. Once this information is known, conservation actions can be targeted at these sites and these efforts will lead to increased conservation success.
Je Canyon Ranch This project will permanently eliminate development opportunities on 48,817 acres of shortgrass prairie grassland ..habitat and riparian areas. This property is used extensively by several species of Neotropical migratory birds. This ..project focuses on two primary objectives, (1) permanently protect 48,817 acres of grassland habitat and riparian ..areas; and (2) incentivize additional conservation opportunities with neighboring landowners. These objectives will ..be met through the acquisition of a permanent conservation easement on the JE Canyon Ranch. Neighboring ..landowners often initiate projects following the completion of a successful conservation transaction. CCALT intends..to use the JE Canyon Ranch transaction as a demonstration project for this region.
