Hawks Aloft, Inc. Fire Avian Monitoring for Jemez Collaborative Landscape Forest Restoration Project 2012-2104

Monitoring Objectives: Forest Landscape Restoration Act (PL 111-11, Sec. 4003(c)), the natural resources monitoring program objectives are: (1) contribute toward the restoration of the structure and composition of pre-fire-suppression old growth stands, (2) reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire, and/or maintain or re-establish natural fire regimes, (3) improve fish and wildlife habitat, including endangered, threatened and sensitive species, (4) maintain or improve water quality and watershed function, and (5) prevent, remediate, or control invasions of exotic species.

Project Challenges: Inability to access all routes during all years due to fires/flooding/washed out roads.

All Points: Unburned vs Burned Cumulative Avian Density Type # birds/ha Unburned A 2.03 Burned 2.00 Tukey-Kramer HSD test Type-Year #birds/ha Unburned 2012 2.17 Burned 2014 B 2.12 Burned 2013 2.04 Unburned 2013 Unburned 2014 1.88 Burned 2012 1.76 Total Species Richness # Species # Points # Visits 71 40* 225 93 133* 737 *A number of points have changed from unburned to burned

Ponderosa Pine Points: Unburned vs Burned Cumulative Avian Density Habitat # birds/visit Ponderosa Pine Burned A 11.81 Unburned B 9.40 Tukey-Kramer HSD test # birds/ha 2.41 1.91 Total Species Richness Type # Species # Points # Visits 65 62* 405 Burned 47 10* 58 *PP07, PP08, PP09, PP11a changed from PP to PP Burn in middle of 2013 field season

Expected outcomes and timeframe: Following fire, we expect an initial decline in avian density and species richness in the year following the fire with a robust increase in years 3-10 years as herbaceous plant cover matures.

Observed outcomes: In burned ponderosa pine, there was a significant increase in avian density in burned points relative to control points. Although not yet significant, our data show increases in density among all burned points.
