Abstract

In this research project, we 1) documented the size and spatial distribution of canebrakes in southernmost Illinois, 2) surveyed existing stands of cane for Swainson’s Warblers (a canebrake specialist listed among the Species in the Greatest Need of Conservation (SGNC), and 3) surveyed cane and non-cane habitat to determine whether any other species of breeding birds had an affinity for cane.
