1 Effects of Prescribed Burning on Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) Habitat and Populations in the Cumberland Mountains
2 Confer (1992)
3 North American Breeding Bird Survey -3.36%/yr in U.S. (N=239) 2011 population = ~20% of 1966 population -7.3%/yr in TN (N=5) >95% population decline since 1966 (Sauer et al. 2008)
4 1. Hybridization with Blue-winged Warbler 2. Nest parasitism 3. Stop-over and wintering habitat 4. Loss of breeding habitat Golden-wing Hybrid Blue-wing (Confer 1992, Hunter and Buehler 2001, Vallender et al. 2007, Buehler et al. 2007)

8 Reclaimed years ago Reclamation procedures involved planting of non-native, invasive species: cool season grasses (Festuca spp.) Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) Also established since reclamation: black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) thickets of blackberry (Rubus spp.)
9 Prescribed Burning
10 1) Evaluate the effects of prescribed burning on reclaimed mine lands on Golden-winged Warbler abundance and reproductive success
11 1) Evaluate the effects of prescribed burning on reclaimed mine lands and on forest management areas on Golden-winged Warbler abundance and reproductive success 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of prescribed burning on clearcut land at creating Golden-winged Warbler habitat (Klaus and Buehler 2001)
12 75,000 ha of stateowned contiguous forest 600 ha managed for GWWA
13 Mountain Sites 1. Massengale 2. Ashlog 3. Fork 4. Burge 5. Bootjack 6. McNew Gap 7. Brushy 8. Anderson 9. Hatfield Knob 10. Red Oak
14 Presence absence surveys 8 sites May June 15 th Playback every 200 meters (Klaus and Buehler 2001, Kubel and Yahner 2007, Rosenberg and Blancher 2005)
15 Nest searching Monitor every 2 3 days Mark-resight Color bands (Dinsmore et al. 2002, Battin 2004)
