Abstract

The Avian Ecology Lab at the Natural Resources Research Institute completed the 29th year of Minnesota's National Forest Breeding Bird Monitoring Program in 2023. These data have provided insights into the impacts of forest management on breeding bird populations and informed the development of management policies and conservation initiatives. This report summarizes forest bird monitoring data gathered from 1995 through 2023. Here we summarize the current status of species trends and overall trends for migration, habitat, and nesting guilds. We focus our discussion on species of conservation importance in the state to provide ecological context and to discuss management implications of the observed patterns for these species in the region.

Description

Appendices A-I mentioned in the report are also attached to this record. Appendices A, F, and G are attached as .pdf (portable document format) files. Appendices B, C, D, and E originally shared a spreadsheet file; they are attached in both their original .xlsx (Microsoft Excel 2016) format (1 file total) and a converted .csv (comma separated values) format (4 files total, 1 per appendix). (The tables also included in the original .xlsx file have not been converted to .csv files as they are available in the report itself.) Appendices H and I originally shared a spreadsheet file; they are attached in both their original .xlsm (Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook 2016) format (1 file total) and a converted .csv (comma separated values) format (5 files total: "meta," "Appendix H," "Appendix I," "index_chip," and "index_sup"), though the .csv format does not support color or macros as the .xlsm format does. (The figures also included in the original .xlsx file have not been converted to .csv files as they are available in the report itself.)
