Sediment deposition from Hurricane Rita on Hackberry Beach chenier in southwestern Louisiana Sediment deposition from Hurricane Rita on Hackberry Beach chenier in southwestern Louisiana
Hurricane Rita significantly impacted the chenier forests of southwestern Louisiana, an important habitat for Neotropical migratory birds. Sediment deposition was measured along transects at Hackberry Beach chenier, and Rita's effects on chenier structure and morphology were determined.

Impacts of Hurricane Katrina on floodplain forests of the Pearl River Impacts of Hurricane Katrina on floodplain forests of the Pearl River
Floodplain forests are an important habitat for Neotropical migratory birds. Hurricane Katrina passed through the Pearl River flood plain shortly after making landfall. Field measurements on historical plots and remotely sensed data were used to assess the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the structure of floodplain forests of the Pearl River.

Broad-scale response of landbird migration to the immediate effects of Hurricane Katrina Broad-scale response of landbird migration to the immediate effects of Hurricane Katrina
It was the midst of songbird migration season when Hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana coast in 2005. Typically these birds fatten up in Gulf Coast river bottomland forest for the long flight to Central and South America. After Katrina stripped plants of leaves, fruits, and insects in the fertile bottomlands of the Pearl River, weather radar indicated that migrant birds increased their...

Ordination of breeding birds in relation to environmental gradients in three southeastern United States floodplain forests Ordination of breeding birds in relation to environmental gradients in three southeastern United States floodplain forests
We used an ordination approach to identify factors important to the organization of breeding bird communities in three floodplains: Cache River, Arkansas (AR), Iatt Creek, Louisiana (LA), and the Coosawhatchie River, South Carolina (SC), USA. We used 5-min point counts to sample birds in each study area each spring from 1995 to 1998, and measured ground-surface elevations and a suite of...

Habitat relationships of birds overwintering in a managed coastal prairie Habitat relationships of birds overwintering in a managed coastal prairie
Grassland birds are considered to be rapidly declining in North America. Management approaches for grassland birds frequently rely on prescribed burning to maintain habitat in suitable condition. We evaluated the relationships among years since burn, vegetation structure, and overwintering grassland bird abundance in coastal prairie. Le Conte's Sparrows (Ammodramus leconteii) were most...

Applying radar technology to migratory bird conservation and management: Strengthening and expanding a collaborative Applying radar technology to migratory bird conservation and management: Strengthening and expanding a collaborative
Executive Summary Understanding the factors affecting migratory bird and bat populations during all three phases of their life cycle—breeding, nonbreeding, and migration—is critical to species conservation planning. This includes the need for information about these species’ responses to natural challenges, as well as information about the effects of human activities and structures...
