Abundance and productivity of forest songbirds in a managed, unfragmented landscape in Vermont
Article Abstract:
Research undertaken in the northern two-thirds of the Rochester and Middlebury ranger districts of the Green Mountain National Forest in central Vermont has assessed differences in songbird abundance and productivity between continuously forested sites and sites with a small amount of canopy removal. Results from this research do not support the view that songbirds breeding in an extensive matrix of forest habitat are not affected by a moderate level of canopy disturbance. It appears that reduced canopy disturbance in the Green Mountain National Forest could improve brood production by songbirds.

Forest bird response to regeneration practices in central hardwood forests
Article Abstract:
There is increasing concern about the effect of land management and use on the forest songbird population. A study of breeding songbird populations in a hardwood forest in southeastern Missouri was aimed at discovering the effect of four different types of forest harvesting. Among the 14 species examined were migrant songbirds, including the prairie warbler, white-eyed vireo and blue-winged warbler. The results show that the abundance of each species depends on the abundance of their habitat and suggest that forest management should ensure that forest fragmentation is avoided.

Shorebird use of South Carolina managed and natural coastal wetlands
Article Abstract:
The management technique in three seasons of the Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center on South Island, SC, involving shorebird-waterfowl was described. Shorebird use and invertebrate density between natural coastal mudflat areas and nearby diked, managed wetlands were compared. Findings indicate that an integrative shorebird-waterfowl management technique can provide supplemental shorebird habitat at high tide and that diked, managed wetlands which are currently being managed for waterfowl alone may also be preferable to local natural mudflat areas during low tide for shorebirds.
