Southeast Conservation Blueprint Summary for North Carolina
Terrestrial South Atlantic forest birds
This indicator is an index of habitat suitability for twelve upland hardwood and forested wetland bird species (wood thrush, whip-poor-will, American woodcock, red-headed woodpecker, Chuck-will's widow, hooded warbler, Kentucky warbler, Acadian flycatcher, Northern parula, black-throated green warbler, prothonotary warbler, Swainson's warbler) based on patch size and other ecosystem characteristics such as proximity to water and proximity to forest and ecotone edge. The needs of these species are increasingly restrictive at higher index values, reflecting better quality habitat. It originates from Southeast Gap Analysis Program and Designing Sustainable Landscapes bird habitat models.

Potential for presence of forest bird index species Very large patches near water (potential for Swainson's warbler) Large patches often near water (potential for Northern parula, black- throated green warbler, or Prothonotary warbler) Medium patches (potential for Acadian flycatcher) Small patches often near water (potential for hooded warbler or Kentucky warbler) Very small patches or near open areas (potential for wood thrush, whip-poor-will, red-headed woodpecker, Chuck-will's widow, or American woodcock) Less potential
