Using Quail an dGrassland Birds as Indicators of Chihuahuan Desert Grassland Ecosystem Health
***THIS IS A NOTICE OF SINGLE-SOURCE AWARD ONLY-NOT A RFP*** The objective of this study is to quantify grassland health using 3 species of quail (Mearns, scaled, and Gambelâ¿¿s), 4 species of winter-resident songbirds (Bairdâ¿¿s sparrow, Chestnut-collard longspur, McCownâ¿¿s sparrow, and Spragueâ¿¿s
pipit), and 3 species of summer resident songbirds (Cassinâ¿¿s sparrow, Black-throated sparrow, Lark sparrow, Eastern meadowlark, and Western meadowlark) as indicators.
Because these 12 bird species inhabit a diversity of distinct niches (ranging from grasslands to riparian corridors) within the Chihuahuan Desert, they appear to be ideal indicators of broad-scale ecosystem change resulting from overgrazing.
