Ten years in the making, The Kentucky Breeding Bird Atlas presents the results of a seven-year survey of all birds that nest in the Bluegrass State, providing photographs of each species. This work summarizes the distribution and abundance of these bird species, and describes such recent phenomena as the invasions of the Blue Grosbeak and House Finch and the notable decline of other familiar species. Introductory material outlines the methodology used to complete the survey and summarizes its results. Of particular interest, this work helps to document the effect human alteration of the landscape has had on our bird populations. Some of the most common and widespread species in Kentucky today, for example, may have been among the most rare only two hundred years ago. Information for each species includes its current and historical status in the state, habitat preferences, specific details of the construction and placement of nests, and other pertinent aspects of nesting biology. Results of the survey are organized by physiographic region and degree of forestation. For rare or locally distributed species, more specific details concerning individual breeding records are given. Accompanying maps plot each species' distribution and abundance within the state. An additional section briefly summarizes the former status of twelve extinct or extirpated species. The Kentucky Breeding Bird Atlas is sponsored by the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission and the Nongame Wildlife Program of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources in cooperation with the Kentucky Ornithological Society.

The landscape context of a wetland's location is important for secretive marsh bird occurrence. Occurrence of focal marsh birds was associated with local wetland characteristics, landscape descriptors of natural and anthropogenic influences, and the amount of emergent wetland at multiple spatial scales. Habitat models with mixtures of local and landscape predictors were better descriptors of marsh bird presence than models with either local or landscape predictors alone. High landscape suitability for all species tended to occur in areas with a high level of current conservation effort. Suitable habitat for marsh birds was generally concentrated in the southwestern Lake Erie region and locally concentrated in large, inland conservation areas in west central and northeast Ohio. Local and regional populations of secretive marsh birds may be more efficiently and positively affected if habitat conservation and restoration efforts are targeted to larger, semi-permanently flooded wetlands in areas with higher amounts of landscape wetland area. Further, conservation and restoration efforts influencing marsh bird populations can be improved by including aspects of forest cover and anthropogenic metrics in the decision process depending on the species of interest.
