Wildlife staff conducts songbird point counts in forested habitats throughout OSMP to accomplish directives outlined in the Ecosystem Management Plans (i.e., forest and grassland) and Visitor Master Plan, and to assess potential changes in native bird communities in association with on-going habitat restoration activities, post-wildfire, and new trail development. Surveyed habitats include mixed conifer, ponderosa pine, and riparian forests. In 2016, wildlife staff also revived a project that assesses brown-headed cowbird abundance and distribution in thinned and unthinned ponderosa pine forest stands to evaluate the introduction of cattle in previously ungrazed grasslands near the forest ecotone on Shanahan Ridge <\/SPAN><\/P>
