Abstract:

At one time Bachman's sparrow ranged as far north as Pennsylvania and as far west as Illinois. Now it has disappeared from the Midwest and its northern range ends in North Carolina. It is listed as Special Concern in the state and may make the federal endangered species list if the decline continues. Marcus discusses reasons for the decline. It is the one bird in the state that is most dependent on prescribed burning on public and private lands.

Abstract:

The Wildlife Action Plan was created by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to address conservation needs of the state over the next decade. In this third of a five-part series, the authors discuss how the plan is being implemented in the state's Piedmont region. This region contains a vast array of wildlife habitat that must be protected from haphazard development.
