This grant offered by the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU is for conducting a project to study the ecological effects of recovering predator populations on avian populations at VOYA. The project aims to quantify changes in avian populations due to bald eagle recovery, environmental variability, and predation. The results will provide recommendations for enhancing the avian monitoring program at VOYA and offer guidance to other NPS units on adapting monitoring protocols to assess the ecological impacts of predator population recovery.

| Description: | The results of this project will address key knowledge gaps regarding the ecological effects of recovering predator populations and address critical information needs of VOYA. Will quantify changes in avian populations attributable to bald eagle recovery, environmental variability, and bald eagle predation. Furthermore, will provide recommendations on the current avian monitoring program at VOYA by assessing the ability of various monitoring schemes to detect population changes for targeted species. Finally, will provide guidance to management staff at other NPS units on how current monitoring protocols can be modified to capture and quantify the ecological consequences of recovering predator populations. |
