Title
Impacts of partial harvest of riparian buffer strips on cavity and bark-nesting birds in boreal mixedwood forest

Abstract
Typically, buffer strips of uncut forest are left after harvest along lakes and streams; however, some forest companies are now harvesting some of these trees to approximate effects of wildfires that burn to the edges of water bodies. Bird species that nest in cavities are often resident species that require older forest structures year-round, and, hence, are sensitive to forest loss. Forest managers may be able to use declines in this group to indicate excessive forest loss. This study examines how the degree of harvesting impacts cavity-using bird communities in Duck Mountain Provincial Forest, Manitoba.
