Other Wildlife

Ventana Wildlife Society performs a variety of ecological services throughout central California for our clients and collaborators. Our ecological services include consultation, conservation planning, research, monitoring, and wildlife management. All of these services are designed to conserve native wildlife and their habitats while addressing specific needs of our partners. We have expertise with federal and state-listed bird species, California Bird Species of Special Concern, and many other wildlife species.

TriColored blackbirds
Tricolored Blackbird Post-breeding Dispersal Research
In 2013, Ventana Wildlife Society assisted Santa Lucia Conservancy with their research and monitoring study of Tricolored Blackbirds, a California Bird Species of Special Concern experiencing considerable population declines. We monitored breeding colonies at Santa Lucia Preserve and Fort Ord, and tracked foraging and post-breeding dispersal for 19 radio-tagged Tricolored Blackbirds. By tracking Tricolored Blackbirds, even once by airplane, we learned more about the connectivity of regional populations, the importance of breeding and foraging habitat on the preserve, and the post-breeding habitat these birds need.
Spotted Owls
Spotted Owl Surveys in the Santa Lucia Range
​
In 2006 and 2009, Ventana Wildlife Society conducted Spotted Owl surveys through a contract with the U.S. Forest Service at 250 locations in Los Padres National Forest and other nearby sites within the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. We recorded a minimum of 112 Spotted Owls in 2006 and a minimum of 99 at the same survey locations in 2009. Our surveys helped evaluate the persistence and distribution of this California Bird Species of Special Concern, amid recent habitat changes associated with sudden oak death and a 2008 wildfire.
Snowy plovers
Avian Predator Management to Protect Snowy Plovers and Least Terns
Starting in 2010, Ventana Wildlife Society contracted with California Department of Parks and Recreation to monitor and manage avian predators of Snowy Plovers and Least Terns, two listed species at Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. Our specialist identified individual avian predators posing an unacceptable threat to plovers and terns, and when needed, trapped those predators and transported them to appropriate habitat away from the park. Correcting an imbalanced predator-prey relationship, even in the short-term, can give Snowy Plovers and Least Terns a fighting chance for a long-term recovery on our coastline.
Riparian Birds
In 1992-2010, we operated a bird banding lab along the Big Sur River, which contains important riparian habitat for migrating songbirds. Widely known as the Big Sur Ornithology Lab, this station allowed us to determine population trends for a variety of species while demonstrating the importance of local riparian habitat. We have also conducted long-term surveys over the last 25 years at another important riparian corridor, the Carmel River.
