PROJECT GOAL:

Develop information and methods applicable to avian populations of Wildlife Services' management concern and control techniques to reduce or eliminate invasive species.

Objective 1: Develop and validate biochemical markers to quantify age distribution within avian populations.

Objective 2: Extend existing PBR (Potential Biological Removal) methodology for avian population methods.

Objective 3: Document patterns of roost occupancy and determine movements and activities of crows and vultures following dispersal of roosts.

Objective 4: Toxicity, bait acceptance, and estimates of take using DRC-1339 for avian population control.

Objective 5: Identify toxicants for controlling invasive reptile populations.

Objective 6: Develop methods for controlling Burmese pytons and other large invasive constrictors
