Black-capped Vireo and Golden-cheeked Warbler Populations Potentially Impacted by USACE Reservoir Operations

摘要

This document is part of a series of technical notes concerning species that may be potentially impacted by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) reservoir operations and associated activities. These Technical notes are prepared for the Corps Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Project (EMRRP) work unit entitled 'Reservoir Operations Impacts on Habitats of Target Species,' (see Dickerson, Martin, and Allen (19990; Kasul, Martin, and Allen (2000)). This technical note provides information on the status and management of two protected bird species that are often located along steep slopes and canyons in the Edward Plateau region of south-central Texas. Habitat requirements for each species are discussed, and information is provided concerning the factors contributing to population declines and recovery efforts currently being implemented. Details on the status of each species, its distribution,habitat, behavior, reproduction, food habits, impacts, and management are provided in separate sections below.
