Keeping Common Birds Common
Endangered species approach no longer valid
Keep all species “well distributed across their historical ranges”
Birds occur in all habitats except the deep sea
They are critical players in all ecosystems
They are excellent indicators of habitat qualitySensitive to conditionsWell known – better than any other groupRelatively easy and cheap to monitorWell established monitoring protocols and data management

For the USFWS, the conservation “objective” is to characterize and maintain functional landscapes capable of supporting self-sustaining fish, wildlife, and plant populations.
Step 1. Develop and clearly specify management or conservation objectives.
Step 2. Identify Geographic Scale. Idaho
