For example, Kramer Preserve supported both mesic, upland-associated species, such as the wood thrush and scarlet tanager, and also floodplain-associated species, such as the Louisiana waterthrush (
Seiurus aurocapillus) and Northern parula (Parula Americana).
Alternatively, frequent prescribed burning, timber harvest, and hardwood reduction may negatively impact some species, including tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) (9), ovenbird (
Seiurus aurocapillus), red-eyed vireo (10), and black-and-white warbler (Mniotilta varia; 5).
Only the feral dog and a few avian species [e.g., dickcissel (Spiza americana) and the common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula)] plotted high on both DCA axes I and II, showing association with small sites without pools or significant woody vegetat ion (Figure 4).The region of the DCA plane defined by low values of DCA I and II corresponded to larger, brushy sites with permanent pools that were speciose, being populated by reptiles [e.g., mud turtle (Kinostemon subrubrum) and skinks (Eumeces spp.)], birds [e.g., Louisiana waterthrush (
Seiurus motacilla) and white-eyed vireo (Vireo griscus)], and numerous amphibians [e.g., tree frogs (Hyla spp.) and toads (Bufo spp)].
A total of 19,880 birds representing 112 species were collected, with the top five species including Ovenbirds (
Seiurus aurocapillus), Red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus) and three warblers [Tennessee (Vermivora peregrina), Magnolia (Dendroica magnolia) and Black-and-White (Mniotilta varia)] (ABC 2000).
In a study conducted in Ontario, Canada, on the Ovenbird (
Seiurus aurocapillus), an area-sensitive songbird, Burke and Nol (1998) found lower invertebrate biomass in smaller fragments and concluded that less food was available to these birds.

Cedar bogs support high breeding bird densities (425 to 554 pairs per 100 acres or 40 ha) of species such as ovenbirds (
Seiurus aurocapillus), yellowthroats (Geothlypus trichas), and prairie, prothonotary, and hooded warblers (Dendroica discolor, Protonotaria citrea, and Wilsonia citrna, respectively).
The most frequently observed species during the spring migration were the White-throated Sparrow (n = 5, Zonotrichia albicollis), Common Yellowthroat (n = 5, Geothlypis trichas), and Ovenbird (n = 5,
Seiurus aurocapillus).
Small forest patches may also act as sinks for birds, such as Ovenbird (
Seiurus aurocapilla), Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), Veery (Catharus fuscescens), and Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus), in a metapopulation context (Nol et al.
