Title: Influences of Salvage Logging on Forest Birds after Fire in the Eastern

Previous research examining the influences of post-fire salvage logging on abundances of birds has focused primarily on the response of cavity-nesting species. There is limited research in regard to the impact of salvage logging on a broader range of bird species. In addition, little is known about how different intensities of salvage logging influence bird abundances. I compared densities and relative abundances of bird species among two different intensities of salvage logging and an unsalvaged treatment in a post-fire forest of mixed conifers at Davis Lake, Oregon. I also examined the potential of vegetation variables that describe habitat structure to predict densities of birds, and the use of snags for foraging by two species of woodpeckers. Salvage logging influenced the density or relative abundance of seven species of birds, though the pattern of the influence varied. Five species (black-backed woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, western wood-pewee, brown creeper, and yellow-rumped warbler) had greater densities or relative abundances in the unsalvaged treatment than in either treatment of salvage logging. Two species (dark-eyed junco and fox sparrow) had greater densities in salvaged treatments than in the unsalvage
