Initial response of nongame birds to changes in the vegetation profile resulting from a prescribed spring burn in South Dakota. Individual bird species differed in their use of burned and unburned grassland, and use patterns changed as the habitat recovered. Results are compared with effects of grazing and mowing to provide greater flexibility for manipulation of prairie habitat.
