Golden-winged Warbler Status Review and Conservation Plan
The Golden-winged Warbler Status Review was initiated over a decade ago when David Buehler, John Confer, and Ron Canterbury were funded by the US Fish & Wildlife Service to elaborate on what was originally a status assessment begun by Chuck Hunter in 1999. Over time, that original project received input from others and underwent numerous stalls, revisions, and reviews. The continuous stream of new information that so rapidly outpaced the writing of the document is actually a tribute to the tremendous dedication and energy of the Golden-winged Warbler Working Group and its partners. In this version of the Status Review, survey and trend estimates have been updated to include 2009 BBS trend information. Genetic data were updated to include birds sampled during the 2010 breeding season. We are pleased finally to release the Status Review, at the same time acknowledging that new research and conservation action will just as quickly outdate much of the information it summarizes. We prefer to think of this document as a Status Transition to a more hopeful future.
Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan
The Golden-winged Warbler Non-breeding Season Conservation Plan (Chapter 4 of the Goldenwinged Warbler Conservation Plan) describes the non-breeding ecology of the Golden-winged Warbler and proposes concrete actions to maintain habitat throughout its stationary nonbreeding range (hereafter winter range). The plan is intended for use by conservation practitioners, land managers, and governmental agencies both in North America and Latin America. This plan provides guidance on where conservation investment in Latin America will have the greatest impact on Golden-winged Warbler habitat and recommends conservation actions to address the specific threats to habitat retention in the winter range. This plan is also intended for use at the country level for all Latin American countries within the Golden-winged Warbler winter range. For each country, this plan prioritizes areas where conservation action should begin immediately, defines five-year conservation goals, and proposes a conservation strategy to meet those goals by the year 2020.

647 Early Successional Habitat Management
674 Early Successional Habitat Management Job Sheet. This job sheet was modified for Bobwhite management in the Southeastern United States.
338-Prescribed Burning
338-Prescribed Burning. This job sheet has been modified for Bobwhite Quail management in the Southeastern United States. Caution: Prescribed burning should be conducted only by those who are trained and experienced in its use. The landowner is responsible for obtaining all permits and clearances as required by law.
666-Forest Stand Improvement for Bobwhite Quail
666- Forest Stand Improvement. This job sheet has been modified specifically for the management of Bobwhite Quail and other early successional species in the Southeastern United States. • Follow state Best Management Practices (BMPs) for forestry and all applicable laws and regulations. Creating and maintaining open canopy pine savanna with the implementation of proper thinnings in combination with frequent prescribed fire and/or brush management (see job sheets for Prescribed Burning for Bobwhite Quail-338 and/or Brush Management for Bobwhite Quail-314) will provide the required conditions needed for a host of species dependent or favored by early successional habitat such as quail, deer, turkey, songbirds, small mammals, native grasses and wild flowers, pollinator insects and plants.
