In addition, the grantee will synthesize research results and work with forestry industry partners to develop and implement Best Management Practices that will allow for sustained occupancy and high fecundity at managed sites...
CONSERVING BICKNELL'S THRUSH ON CANADIAN Bicknell's Thrush is one of the most range-restricted neotropical migrants breeding in Eastern Canada, where ~ 38% of its global population (40,000-49,000 individuals) breeds. Substantial declines have been noted throughout its Canadian range; in the Maritimes, data indicates a 12% annual population decline between 2002-2011, and a 40% reduction in the birds over the last 20 years. The main threat facing Bicknell's Thrush is loss and degradation of forest habitat. This project will immediately improve conservation for Bicknell's Thrush in New Brunswick (NB; 169,400 hectares) and Nova Scotia (NS; 66,176 hectares) by addressing breeding habitat destruction and degradation occurring in industrial forest and other unprotected areas. Partners primary objectives are to partner with timber companies and management agencies to: (1) implement Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs), for immediate mitigation of both mortality and habitat loss; (2) conduct research to improve and secure long-term protection of Bicknell's Thrush breeding distribution and support the recovery strategy by integrating longer-term conservation goals into BMPs; and (3) continue regional and range-wide surveys to evaluate the success of conservation actions over the medium- and long-term.

To this end, the Network will: 1) document contemporary patterns of presence and abundance of shorebirds; 2) assess historical changes in abundance; 3) document geographic and seasonal patterns of nest initiation, clutch size, and habitat use; 4) collect information on avian and mammalian predators, insect emergence and abundance, alternative prey availability, surface water, and weather; and 5) correlate data to assess impacts of climate change on shorebird breeding ecology. It will also participate in additional projects that span large geographic and temporal scales, such as migration route data, avian health assessments, and/or prey assessments.
Developing Management Targets For Grassl Much of the remaining native mixed-grass prairie is managed by private landowners. As a result, conservation practitioners primarily rely on incentive-based stewardship programs to conserve grassland habitat. Results-based conservation is a growing initiative in Prairie Canada whereby livestock producers receive funding if their management creates or enhances habitat for species of conservation concern. A critical component of the program is developing meaningful management targets that will enhance and maintain suitable habitat for species of conservation concern and that producers can measure and manage for in order to receive funding once they achieve those targets. The primary objective of this project is to develop reliable management targets for grassland songbird species at risk; Reliable management targets will be identified for each species and region, establishing such management targets for conservation agencies and livestock producers has great potential to strategically improve habitat conditions and ultimately help to recover grassland songbirds in the long term...Species that will benefit include: Sprague's pipit, Baird's sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, McCown's longspur, chestnut-collared longspur, lark bunting, western meadowlark and bobolink...

CONSERVATION FOR CERULEAN WARBLER & PRIO Nearly 100% of Canada's Cerulean Warbler population (500 pairs) breeds in two areas in Ontario: the Frontenac Arch ..and the Carolinian Region. In the Carolinian Region declines have been especially severe and the region, much of ..which is unprotected, is highly fragmented and under immediate threat from timber harvest that removes mature trees ..reducing forest cover. Implementing Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) could play an important role in the ..species' recovery. The project aims to immediately improve the Cerulean Warbler's conservation status in Canada, ..focusing primarily on the Carolinian Region where the species is most threatened, but also working in the Frontenac ..Arch to ensure that this population remains stable and the habitat remains intact. Project objectives are to: 1) work ..with landowners to improve the conservation status of at least 1,850 hectares of unprotected Cerulean Warbler ..habitat, in the Carolinian and Frontenac regions and support landowners already stewarding 10,794 hectares; ..2) work with landowners and partners to help secure 140 hectares of habitat; 3) continue long-term monitoring to ..track recovery, to direct adaptive management, to prioritize conservation actions, and to evaluate project success, ..and; 4) gather information needed to develop regionally-specific BMPs for Cerulean Warbler.
