The North Dakota Department of Game and Fish received a $384,925 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 under the State Wildlife Grants (SWG) Program (CFDA 15.634), effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. The award funds a comprehensive research initiative to conduct studies on grassland songbirds breeding in North Dakota, specifically focusing on chestnut-collared longspurs and lark buntings at sites enrolled in conservation programs. The department will utilize the Motus Wildlife Tracking System to gather migratory ecology data, determine migratory routes and overwintering areas for target species, and identify environmental variables associated with dispersal movements. The primary deliverables include establishment of a functioning Motus tracking station array in western North Dakota to facilitate local, regional, and continental-scale conservation and research efforts focused on grassland birds, and development of comprehensive documentation on the full annual cycle migratory ecology of the target species. This research will provide critical insights into location and season-specific drivers of population decline, thereby informing conservation action and preventing potential Endangered Species Act listing. The research findings will advance understanding of grassland bird conservation needs across the region and support evidence-based management decisions on enrolled conservation program ranches.Federal Grant Award Summary
