Grassland Habitat Monitoring for Wintering Chestnut-collared Longspur CART Case Study Handout

The Tucson Audubon Society collaborated with Audubon Southwest through the Important Bird Areas (IBA) program to develop a survey protocol for Arizona IBAs.  The protocol uses volunteers and audio recorders to survey Chestnut-collared Longspur (Calcarius ornatus; CCLO) presence, preferred cattle water tank conditions, and presence of invasive species invasive species
An invasive species is any plant or animal that has spread or been introduced into a new area where they are, or could, cause harm to the environment, economy, or human, animal, or plant health. Their unwelcome presence can destroy ecosystems and cost millions of dollars.

Learn more about invasive species to inform land management decisions that support CCLO population.
