Introduction There have been widespread, drastic population declines in bird species over the past 50 years (Rosenberg et al. 2019). The estimated net loss of birds in North America is close to 3 billion, with 2.5 billion of these birds migratory (Rosenberg et al. 2019). This is comparable to patterns found globally (Gaston et al. 2003, Inger et al. 2015). To reverse these population declines knowledge of bird habitat preferences is needed, particularly of migratory bird species.
