Abstract
We
report
results
of
a
two-‐year
effort
in
2013
and
2014
to
sample
breeding
bird
species
in
the
extensive
lowland
coniferous
forests
in
the
Agassiz
Lowland
Ecological
Subsection
(ALS)
of
northwestern
Minnesota.
The
effort
is
a
part
of
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Natural
Resources
(MNDNR)
forest
planning
process
to
identify
forested
areas
of
conservation
concern
to
selected
forest
bird
species
potentially
affected
by
logging
activity.
The
general
objectives
were
to:
1)
identify
lowland
coniferous
forest
stands
that
encompassed
a
gradient
of
age
classes,
productivity
as
measured
by
site
index,
and
forest
patch
sizes,
2)
sample
breeding
bird
populations
within
each
of
the
selected
stands
in
2013
and
2014,
3)
identify
habitat
and
landscape
characteristics
associated
with
selected
breeding
bird
species
within
these
forest
stand
types,
4)
develop
habitat
models
for
bird
species
of
conservation
concern
and
those
potentially
affected
by
logging
activity,
5)
apply
the
habitat
models
to
state-‐owned
land
to
map
the
potential
distribution
of
individual
species
or
combinations
of
species
in
the
ALS,
and
6)
provide
recommendations
on
forest
management
that
could
be
beneficial
for
conservation
of
breeding
birds
within
the
ALS.
