Project abstract:
The Gray Flycatcher (Empidonax wrightii) was found to only occur as a breeding species in WA in the 1970s. Since then, no detailed information existed on habitats used by Gray Flycatchers for breeding. To address this information gap, we initiated a study to investigate Gray Flycatcher nest survival in managed ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests.
Project goals:
Assess Gray Flycatcher nest survival and determine if temporal or spatial factors influence nest success.
Project progress:
We completed this project and published the findings in the Journal of Field Ornithology. That publication can be accessed at the link below.
