Density and Fledging Success of Grassland Birds in Conservation Reserve Program Fields in North Dakota and West-central Minnesota

Acknowledgments

I appreciate the hard work of my field assistants: J. Bates, B. Bolduan, D. Burt, L. Cox, J. Evanoff, S. Garcia, A. Halvorson, T. Hansted, J. Henderson, B. Hockenberry, L. Hoxtell, L. Huff, J. Hughes, T. Jenni, L. Joyal, D. Laird, K. MacDonald, G. Machart, R. Manson, W. Meeks, M. Moodie, K. Mullen, H. Muller, S. Norland, and C. Shoemaker, E. Sincox, D. Storm, P. Sweet, L. Quinlan, W. Widdowson, and J. Woleslagle. I also appreciate the cooperation and congeniality of P. Arnold, G. Bober, C. Luna, and A. Radtke of the USFWS. K. Krueger and others in offices of the Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service were helpful. The study would have been impossible without the cooperation of numerous landowners who allowed us to study birds on their CRP fields. B. Bowen assisted with data analysis. J. Lokemoen shared ideas on study techniques. I appreciate the helpful comments on this paper by B. Bowen, L. Igl, and E. Klaas.
