Scarlet TanagerThe Tennessee Important Bird Areas (IBA) program is part
of an international effort to identify the most critical bird habitat
within the state of Tennessee. The goal is by properly managing these
critical habitats, bird populations can be stabilized and increased. The
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has partnered with the
National Audubon Society's Audubon Important Bird Area program to
compile a list of such sites within Tennessee. A web site is now
available about the Tennessee IBA program and for you to see the status
of proposed sites. The web address is
http://bellsouthpwp.net/w/i/windbird/index.htm
The web site is a work in progress so you will see various amounts of
information on the sites (including typos). This information can change
daily. For this program to succeed your help is needed.
1. Look at the "Criteria For Site Selection" so you will know what
a site needs to meet to be an IBA. Then look at the list of IBA Sites.
If a site you are aware meets the criteria and is not listed, then
propose it. Better still nominate it. That is, agree to gather the
data needed on the "Nomination Form."
2. If a site is nominated and you want to help out on that site,
contact the nominator (or submitted by) listed.
3. Field documentation is vital for a site to be approved. If you
have such data for a site, submit it.
Contact me with questions or comments and to assist with any of the
above.
