Report Title:

Assessing Secretive Marsh Bird Breeding Populations and Habitat Associations to Implement Conservation Actions at High Priority Wetlands in Northwestern Pennsylvania

Report Summary:

This study investigated secretive marsh bird populations and habitats at three wetlands on State Game Lands (SGL) 213 and 214 in Crawford County: Conneaut Marsh, Hartstown Marsh, and Pymatuning Complex. Goals of the study were to provide PGC with a current inventory of marsh bird species at SGL 213 and 214; update Biotics database; inform wetland management to benefit marsh birds. This study's objectives included estimating site occupancy/abundance for priority birds at 2 large wetland complexes; evaluate probabilities in response to habitat characteristics and human disturbance; predictive models of occupancy; recommendations for management actions.
