Habitat Management
Birds
need habitat to survive. Exactly what type and how much depends on a
species' food preferences, foraging strategies, and nest site
requirements.
Some birds can live in suburban and even urban environments. Species
whose habitat requirements are specific, especially area-sensitive
birds requiring large tracts of woodland or grassland, have more
difficulty finding suitable habitat amidst our ever-developing human
landscape.
Successful habitat maintenance follows several guiding principles. These can be used by anyone, on both public and private land, to conserve breeding habitat, wintering habitat, and migratory corridors of all sizes.
