Description

The Sprague's pipit is a small, ground-nesting songbird which, in Alberta, is found almost exclusively on native prairie. The bird is designated a Species of Special Concern in Alberta due to its large historic population decline and potential for continuing habitat alteration. This plan provides background information on the species and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goals of returning Sprague's pipit populations to the mean abundance levels between 1980 and 1989, and conserving and maintaining remaining native prairie within the historic range of the species in Alberta. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern in Alberta, to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They are intended to be a resource tool for provincial and regional fish and wildlife, land and resource management staff.

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.
