1. GIS Tools Workflow of GIS Tools to Determine Properties Suitable for Migratory Bird Foraging Sites

2. Standardize Raster Data Reclassify Land Cover Data (1) agriculture and (2) forested wetland as foraging_sites Feature to Raster and Reclassify Soils as wet_soils Reclassify NWI farmed wetlands and forested wetlands as wetlands_national Raster Calculator (wetlands_national X wet_soils) to capture ALL wetlands at county level of detail as wetlands_county

3. Combine Raster Data Mosaic to New Raster Tool with input rasters in this order: 1. wetlands and 2. foraging_sites as forage_wetlands forage_wetlands raster dataset comprised of all county wetlands that are (1) wetlands converted to agriculture and (2) wetlands with intact bottomland hardwood forests or degraded forests Clip forage_wetlands to extent of county boundary

4. Nesting 1 Mile Radius Geoprocessing Buffer Tool to add 1 mile radius around nesting sites Feature to Raster Tool to convert buffered nesting areas to raster as nesting_buffer

5. Define Foraging Areas Region Group Tool to distinguish groups of foraging sites in forage_wetlands dataset Zonal Geometry as Table to get area of foraging sites using forage_wetlands dataset Zonal Histogram WHERE “zone dataset” is forage_wetlands and “value raster” is nesting_buffer to get output of foraging sites withing 1 mile radius of nest sites called forage_near_nest

6. Identify Suitable Properties Join forage_near_nest to geometry table Create new field called forage_group_ID Join landowner parcel dataset to forage_near_nest to identify landowners of suitable properties
