Bird use of CRP lands in the Prairie Pothole Region.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: In 1990 we surveyed breeding birds in 240 fields in eastern Montana, North and South Dakota, and western Minnesota that were enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). We found many grassland species occurring in that habitat. Only one species, the horned lark, was appreciably more common in cropland than in CRP. Several species were much more common in CRP than in cropland; these included the bobolink, Baird's sparrow, grasshopper sparrow, clay-colored sparrow, dickcissel, and lark bunting, all of which have been declining in number during the 1966-89 period. The Conservation Reserve Program appears to have the potential to help reverse the population decline of prairie species, but more research is needed to determine the productivity of birds in that habitat and the long-term effects of habitat succession.; abstract: In 1990 we surveyed breeding birds in 240 fields in eastern Montana, North and South Dakota, and western Minnesota that were enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
