Overview
Recently fledged birds often experience low survival as they undergo rapid changes in their behavior, (e. g., habitat use, mobility, and foraging rate). For species of conservation concern, information about the post-fledging period can be critical for effective management and conservation. We investigated the post-fledging ecology of endangered Golden-cheeked Warblers (Setophaga chrysoparia) in central Texas. Current management guidelines focus on nesting habitat even though songbird fledglings may use entirely different habitats. We radio-tracked fledglings (N = 23) to assess their habitat use, estimate daily survival, and observe age-based behavioral changes. Habitat used by fledglings was similar to adult nesting habitat and was dominated by Ashe juniper (Juniperus asheii; 75%) and oak (Quercus spp.; 21%). Apparent fledgling survival was 65%, and the estimated daily survival rate of fledglings during their first 4 weeks post-fledging was 0.985 (95% CI = 0.971–0.993). To investigate the factors associated with predation, we estimated survival while excluding mortality events due to exposure. Estimated survival was greater in areas with more junipers than oaks. As fledglings aged, use of oaks as foraging substrates increased as did their prey capture rates (nearly twice as many prey captured per hour in oaks than in junipers). Current management recommendations for nesting adult Golden-cheeked Warblers specify maintaining mature juniper–oak forests composed of ~70% juniper, a recommendation that also appears to accommodate fledglings. Fledgling Golden-cheeked Warblers acquire unique benefits from junipers (i.e., safety) and oaks (i.e., foraging opportunities), so management plans should include the maintenance of both junipers and oaks. Aves que recientemente han iniciado la etapa de volantones con frecuencia experimentan baja supervivencia pues pasan por cambios rapidos en su comportamiento, e.g. uso de habitat, movilidad y tasa de forrajeo. Para especies de interes en conservacion, la informacion sobre el periodo posterior al de volantones puede ser critico para el manejo y conservacion efectivo. Investigamos la ecologia posterior al periodo de volantones de la especie amenazada Setophaga chrysoparia en el centro de Texas. Las pautas para el manejo actual estan enfocadas en el habitat de anidamiento, a pesar que los volantones usan habitats completamente diferentes. Monitoreamos volantones por medio de radio transmisores (N = 23) para determinar el uso de habitat, estimar la probabilidad diaria de supervivencia y observar cambios en el comportamiento basados en la edad. El habitat usado por los volantones fue similar al habitat de anidacion de los adultos y estuvo dominado por Enebros (Juniperus asheii; 75%) y Robles (Quercus spp; 21%). La supervivencia aparente fue del 65% y la tasa de supervivencia diaria estimada de los volantones durante sus primeras cuatro semanas despues de salir del nido fue de 0.985 (95% CI = 0.971–0.993). Para investigar los factores asociados con la depredacion, estimamos la supervivencia excluyendo los eventos de mortalidad debido a la exposicion. La supervivencia estimada fue mayor en areas con mas Enebros que robles. A medida que los volantones crecen, el uso de los robles como substrato de forrajeo incremento asi como la tasa de captura de sus presas (casi dos veces mas presas capturadas por hora en robles que en Enebros). Las recomendaciones de manejo actual para los adultos en anidacion de Setophaga chrysoparia especifican el mantenimiento de los bosques de Enebros-Robles, compuestos por ~70% Enebros, una recomendacion que tambien parece acomodarse a los volantones. Los volantones de Setophaga chrysoparia adquieren beneficios unicos de los Enebros (i. e. seguridad) y robles (i.e., oportunidades de forrajeo), por lo que los planes de manejo deben incluir el mantenimiento de ambos, Enebros y Robles.
