Final Report series. The endangered Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow is one of South Florida's most imperiled species. The range of the diminutive bird is found almost entirely within the boundaries of Everglades National Park. Because sparrows construct their nests near the ground, both natural and human-caused changes to these areas can have significant implications for breeding populations. This CESI-funded study examines the impacts to known sparrow populations following a particularly intense wildfire in 2001. The investigation offers new analysis on previous long-term population surveys and makes several recommendations on methodology for use in future range-wide surveys. Lockwood, Julie. 2003.
