  • American Pipit (Anthus Rubescens) Surveys on Mount Washington, June 2018 Through August 2020 Final Report to the Robert F

American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) Surveys on Mount Washington, June 2018 through August 2020 Final Report to the Robert F. Schumann Foundation Territorial American Pipit in ‘Cow Pasture’ on Mt. Washington in June 2020. David Govatski photo. Principal Investigator: Christian J. Martin NH Audubon, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord, NH 03301 (603) 224-9909, x317 or [email protected] Page | 2 Background The American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) is a “Special Concern” bird species in New Hampshire, a conservation category that suggests the state’s pipit breeding population could potentially decline enough to warrant reclassification to “State-Threatened” status, if appropriate management steps to safeguard these birds, and their limited breeding habitat in New Hampshire, do not occur. The fact that pipits have an extremely limited breeding distribution in the state also prompted New Hampshire Fish and Game to list pipits as a “Species of Greatest Conservation Need” (SGCN) in the New Hampshire 2015 Wildlife Action Plan (NH Fish and Game Department 2015). SGCN species are those which are in serious jeopardy, often demonstrating declining numbers with smaller patches of suitable habitat and/or threatened by a host of management issues. The Audubon Society of New Hampshire (NH Audubon) has been monitoring pipits breeding on Mount Washington (elev. 6,288 ft.) on an intermittent basis since the mid-1990s. In 1997, NH Audubon field technicians surveyed pipit presence along 20 miles of alpine trail transects in the Presidential Range, but at that time found pipits breeding only on Mount Washington.

  • Mountain Birdwatch 2006
    Mountain Birdwatch 2006 © Jeff Nadler FINAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE June 14, 2007 Julie A. Hart and J. Daniel Lambert VINS Technical Report 07-3 Vermont Institute of Natural Science 6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059 ABSTRACT Mountain Birdwatch is a long-term monitoring program for songbirds that breed in high-elevation forests of the northeastern U.S. Since 2001, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) has prepared skilled volunteers to conduct annual surveys along 1- km point count routes located in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Primary emphasis is placed on Bicknell’s Thrush, a montane fir specialist that breeds only in the Northeast and adjacent portions of Canada. Other focal species include Blackpoll Warbler, Swainson’s Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, and Winter Wren. In 2006, Mountain Birdwatchers gathered observations from 155 locations, with point count surveys completed on 119 routes. Bicknell’s Thrush occurred at a frequency similar to 2005. It was detected by point count on 63% of the routes and by any means on 90% of the routes. However, the abundance index for this species fell from a 2005 high of 0.3 individuals per point to the 2001-2004 average of 0.25 individuals per point. Counts of Swainson’s Thrush and Winter Wren reached record highs in 2006, continuing an increasing trend that began in 2003. Blackpoll Warbler exhibited similar gains during this period, following a sharp drop in 2002. White-throated Sparrow numbers remained low for the fourth consecutive year, compared to high counts made in 2001 and 2002.
