Sensitive Western Riparian Songbirds Potentially Impacted by USACE Reservoir Operations

Abstract

This technical note is part of a series of technical notes concerning riparian species that are potentially impacted by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir operations and associated activities. These technical reports are prepared for the Corps Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP) work unit titled "Reservoir Operations - Impacts on Target Species," (see Dickerson, Martin, and Allen (1999); Kasul, Martin, and Allen (2000)). This report provides information on the status and management of three protected songbirds that are strongly dependent on riparian ecosystems in the Western United States. Habitat requirements for each songbird are discussed, and information is provided concerning the factors contributing to population declines and recovery efforts currently being implemented. Details on the status of each sensitive western songbird, its distribution, habitat, behavior, reproduction, food habits, impacts, and management are provided in separate sections.
