The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a cooperative agreement grant specifically for a CESU-affiliated partner. This funding opportunity is dedicated to conducting vital research on avian use within managed forest communities located in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). The selected partner will be responsible for meticulously selecting and evaluating study sites, conducting thorough surveys of breeding bird populations, and employing advanced quantitative methods to accurately estimate species’ detection frequencies and densities. The insights derived from these comprehensive surveys will then be integrated into fine-scale habitat suitability models. The ultimate goal is to produce a practical document, empowering forest managers with essential data to make informed decisions regarding habitat preservation and management strategies.
