Priority Bird Populations and Habitats Pine savannah
Red-cockaded Woodpecker Federally endangered; remnant population reduced to as few as 3 breeding clans.
Prairie Warbler Declining; native to open pine savannah; also in early succession habitat.
Bachman's Sparrow Northern edge of breeding range; requires open, grassy understory.
Objective: Restore enough pine savannah to support 20-25 clans of Red-cockaded Woodpecker (pre 1970s population); maintain breeding population of 2,600 Brown-headed Nuthatches.
Salt marshSalt-marsh Sparrow Large proportion of world population breeds here; requires high marsh with buffer,
stable water levels.
Black Rail Status poorly known; requires high marsh with buffer.
Seaside Sparrow Large proportion of East Coast population; wider habitat tolerance than sharp-tailed sparrows.
American Black Duck Important breeding and wintering populations.
Objective: Numerical population and habitat-area objectives for priority marsh birds have not yet been determined. Roughly 20,000 ha of marsh may be required to support 3,000 breeding pairs of American Black Ducks.
Forested wetlandsCerulean Warbler Poorly monitored; small populations along forested rivers. Swainson's Warbler Disjunct population at northern edge of range; requires dense shrubby understory. Prothonotary Warbler Good indicator species for permanently forested wetlands; cavity nester.
Acadian Flycatcher Habitat generalist in wet or moist deciduous forests with dense understory.
Objective: Rougly 300,000 ha of forested wetland is required to support entire habitat-species suite, including 100,000 pairs of Acadian Flycatchers and 16,000 pairs of Prothonotary Warblers.
