1 Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture Establishing Regional Grassland Bird Habitat Objectives CBM / Regional Grassland Bird Workshop La Crosse WI, September 2010 Greg Soulliere, Joint Venture Science Coordinator
2 Presentation Topics The JV / JV Region 2007 JV Implementation Plan Translating population objectives into habitat objectives Targeting conservation delivery
3 Transitioning to All-birds Vehicle to accomplish goals of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP 1986) JVs becoming the hub for regional bird conservation planning and delivery
4
5 Developing a JV (all-bird) Implementation Plan Establishing Grassland Bird Habitat Objectives
6 Bird-group Subcommittees JV Science Team Waterfowl Shorebirds John Coluccy, DU (co-chair) Robert Gates, OSU (chair) Greg Soulliere (co-chair) Todd Bishop, IA DNR Pat Brown, MI NFI Mike Eichholz, SIU Ron Gatti, WI DNR Dave Luukkonen, MI DNR Charlotte Roy-Nielson, SIU Josh Stafford, IL NHS Key Contacts Robert Gates, OSU Waterbirds Dan Holm, IL DNR (chair) Robert Gates, OSU Diane Granfors, FWS Steve Lewis, FWS Mike Monfils, MNFI/MSU Greg Soulliere, FWS Wayne Thogmartin, USGS David Ewert, TNC Diane Granfors, FWS Brad Potter, FWS Bob Russell, FWS Mark Shieldcastle, OH DNR Greg Soulliere, FWS Key Contacts Ferenc de Szalay, KSU Landbirds David Ewert, TNC (chair) John Castrale, IN DNR Melinda Knutson, FWS Brad Potter, FWS Michael Roell, MO DOC Greg Soulliere, FWS Wayne Thogmartin, GS Tom Will, FWS Key Contacts Bob Russell, FWS Linda Wires, UMN Key Contacts Andy Bishop, FWS Ryan Reker, RWB JV Jane Fitzgerald, CH JV
7 Upper Mississippi River & Great Lakes Region Joint Venture 2007 JV plan used modeling Habitat objectives and for all-birds expert opinion Identifies knowledge gaps States assumptions when information is lacking (testable hypotheses) Population and habitat objectives for bird-groups
8 Improving Science Foundation Linking Population and Habitat Objectives Assess populations and develop regional objectives Calculate deficits (goal current = deficit) Identify focal species and determine limiting factors Assess landscape composition and health Use biological models to determine habitat quantity needed to eliminate deficits as well as maintain current populations
9 Selecting JV Focal Species Occur in manageable numbers in the JV region Population status (continental priority or concern) Represent a community type (guild of species) Potential to monitor Understanding of life history information (limiting factors)
10 JV Focal Species JV focal species represented the needs of other less-specialized birds occupying primary cover types. The use of JV focal species reduced the number of models developed and applied, while still representing the full suite of species and their habitats. Note: The assumption that other species will respond similarly to habitat protection, restoration, and management remains untested and must be evaluated to improve future iterations of the JV Plan.
11 JV Grassland Focal Species Greater Prairie-Chicken Henslow s Sparrow Eastern Meadowlark Upland Sandpiper Red-headed Woodpecker (Savannah)
12 Simple biological models JV population deficit based on BBS, expert opinion, and continental conservation plan Breeding population goal 45,000 Population estimate 33,000 Deficit 12,000 H = (d/2) * h 60,000 = (12,000/2) * 10 H = minimum new habitat area required to eliminate deficit (ha) d = regional population deficit (Upland sandpipers) h = habitat area used / pair (ha) Note: 10 ha = 25 acres
13 Grassland Maintenance Objectives (accommodate current grassland bird populations) BCR Acres , ,345, , ,000 Total 5,777,000
14 Grassland Restoration Objectives similar to maintenance / protection objectives since PIF calls for doubling grassland bird populations
15 Grassland maintenance/protection and restoration/enhancement (JV goal = 6 million acres each) Nebraska Ohio Wisconsin Iowa Illinois Missouri Indiana Minnesota Michigan Kansas
16 Grassland bird habitat objectives provided for 23 State x BCR polygons
17 BBS point count interpolations Eastern Meadowlark Upland Sandpiper Red-headed woodpecker Richness = number species found, diversity = richness and relative abundance.
18 Openland Bird - Priority Breeding Habitat (regional scale)
19 Strategic Conservation A framework for setting and achieving conservation objectives at multiple scales based on the best available information, data, and ecological models.
