This grant opportunity focuses on conducting research to define habitat quality for grassland songbirds in northeast Montana. By informing grassland songbird management, the research will contribute to maintaining robust populations of species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and potentially prevent the need for protection under the Endangered Species Act. The research will specifically target priority bird species breeding in isolated areas of northeast Montana, aiming to support conservation efforts for these species.
