Neotropical Migratory Birds of the Kisatchie National Forest, Louisiana: Abstracts for Selected Species and Management Considerations

摘要

An extensive review of the literature on 13 species of neotropical migratory birds (NTMB) that breed on the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Kisatchie National Forest (KNF), in Louisiana, was the basis for this publication. These species were selected because they are known to breed on the KNF and represent a cross section of the various taxa of NTMB that exist in the forest. Included for each of the species are sections on distribution, biology, habitats, and density. Also discussed are population trends for the selected species and forest management practices that may influence distribution and abundance of NTMB. In addition, some areas of research that are suggested by this review and that would help fill gaps in the present state of knowledge for the selected birds are identified.
