1995 Bird survey Foothills parkway section 8B National Park Service, Tennessee

摘要

The Foothills Parkway Section 8B right-of-way (ROW) is a stretch of land between Pittman Center and Cosby, Tennessee that is approximately 14.2 miles long and 1,000 ft wide, with a considerably wider section on Webb Mountain. A breeding bird survey was conducted at selected sample points along the ROW. The intent of the survey was to identify bird communities, area sensitive species (birds dependent on extensive forest systems for all their needs) and endangered, threatened, federal candidate, and state 'in need of management' species now using the ROW. The survey also provides baseline data to assess future habitat impacts as well as cumulative impacts of the project.
