  1. Louisiana Seaside Sparrow *Can be locally migrant (less than 200 km) *Non-migratory during nesting (April-June) *Only resides in salt marshes (Post & Greenlaw, 1994) (Rising, 2005) Ammodramus maritimus fisheri

  2. Marsh Vegetation *nesting *hiding Creeks or pools of H2O *feeding -insects -arthropods -amphipods -mollusks -worms -seeds (Rising, 2005)

  3. Large Amounts of Birds in Marsh Indicator *ecological diversity *tidal flushing *lush, salt tolerant grasses *natural *not affected by human influences Smaller Amounts of Birds in Marsh Species *dominant species *limited tidal flow *sparse vegetation *man-made *near construction or development

  4. Threatening *DDT (mosquito pesticide) *Rice rats (eat eggs) *Controlled fires *Invasive species

  5. E X A M P L E Is it a possibility that oil remnants may be transported?

  6. E X A M P L E What happens to the altered food webs?

  7. ANIMATION (?)= Microsoft 2007 or 2010 Select any object *Entrance/Exit *Emphasis *Motion Paths Fine tune *Start time *Duration *Frequency

  8. The Perfect Vector: Keeping Up with Marsh Birds Create a custom movement of the ‘threatening’ factors, where the sparrows will relocate, and show what will happen to the regional food web as a result. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 1. Click on image & then click on the Animations tab at the top. 2. Scroll through the different choices of animations & choose Custom Path. 3. Draw your custom path using the ‘pencil’. 4. Click on the Animation Pane button (next to the different choices of animation). 5.
