  • Conservation Plan for Grassland Birds in New York
    A Plan for Conserving Grassland Birds in New York: Final Report to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation under contract #C005137 Michael Morgan and Michael Burger Audubon New York 10 June 2008 Audubon New York 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd. Ithaca, NY 14850 (607) 254-2487 or [email protected] 1 Support The funding for the planning process and the creation of this document, which describes the foundation for grassland bird conservation in New York and provides direction for future efforts, has been provided by a contract from the Department of Environmental Conservation (C005137). Funds for the contract originated as a Tier 1 grant from the USFWS State Wildlife Grants Program. Many partnering agencies are contributing to the coordinated grassland bird conservation effort in New York, and are listed as partners in this plan. The following individuals have either contributed to the development of various components of the plan, or supported its development through review of draft materials or participation in discussions, and this support is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Jeff Bolsinger, Chris Dobony, Peter Gibbs, Mitch Hartley, Paul Hess, Sheila Hess, Tom Jasikoff, Heidi Kennedy, Chris Lajewski, Mike Murphy, Paul Novak, Dave Odell, Ray Perry, Tim Post, Marcelo del Puerto, Chris Reidy, Ron Rohrbaugh, Ken Rosenberg, Paul Salon, Carl Schwartz, Shanna Shaw, Gerry Smith, Bryan Swift, Mike Townsend, and Maiken Winter, among others. Our apologies to anyone that we’ve failed to mention. 2 Executive Summary • Grassland birds have been declining faster than any other habitat-species suite in the northeastern United States. The primary cause of these declines is abandonment of agricultural lands, causing habitat loss due to reversion to later successional stages or due to sprawl development.
