Summary:
The purpose of this project is to bridge key knowledge gaps in the migratory and wintering ecology of four grassland bird species of conservation concern: Chestnut-collared Longspur, McCown's Longspur, SPrague's Pipit, and Baird's Sparrow.
In addition to increasing our understanding of the full life-cycle ecology of our focal species, we will also aim to: (1) develop and disseminate improved monitoring and management techniques for these species, as well as (2) expand research infrastructure and knowledge basis in the region as a means to foster complimentary studies of other grassland avifauna.
