Description
This wildlife status report looks at the Sprague's pipit, a small ground-nesting songbird endemic to the Canadian prairies and northern Great Plains of the United States. Although relatively common throughout its range, populations have been declining in many areas. This, coupled with a relative lack of information on the biology and management of this species, has led to the inclusion of the Sprague's pipit on the list of species that may be at risk in Alberta. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
