Resource Abstract:
- description: Project proposal for research survey to document the breeding ecology of ferruginous hawks, Swainson s hawk,
and northern harrier in Kulm Wetland Management District (WMD) in south-central North Dakota. This project is needed due to
a lack of life history information on these three raptors that is necessary to inform management decisions and implement strategic
habitat conservation at appropriate scales that will benefit these raptor populations. This project proposes to assess changes
in land cover and landscape composition (i.e., habitat) over approximately a 30-year time period (1970s to present) and how
this measured change has potentially affected the breeding ecology of the ferruginous hawk, Swainson s hawk, and northern
harrier. In addition, our proposed project (in conjunction with current South Dakota projects) is a combined effort to repeat
historical studies (Lokemoen and Duebbert 1976, Blair 1978, Blair and Schitoskey 1982, Gilbert and Stewart 1983), making results
obtained from this research especially reflective of raptor population changes in portions of North Dakota. Data from this
study will be combined with data from two concurrent raptor ecology projects beginning in spring 2013 in South Dakota and
combined results would be provided to NDGF.; abstract: Project proposal for research survey to document the breeding ecology
