Abstract

Grassland birds have undergone significant declines in North America in recent decades. Loss of native grassland habitat is almost total in many areas. Understanding the breeding ecology of grassland birds in remaining habitat is important for maintaining bird populations. We conducted avian nest monitoring, point counts, and habitat sampling in tallgrass prairie of northeastern Oklahoma from 1992 to 1996. We provide a number of the raw metrics from our research to serve as a comparison to other or future studies of tallgrass prairie birds.
