Lightning-season burns destroy some nests and obviously have a direct effect on nesting activity, but, unlike the other threats that nesting birds face, lightning-season fires provide clear benefits thathave the potential to offset losses in a big way. For example, if lightning-season burns provide a 5% increase in the survival of adults and juveniles as a result of habitat improvements, these increases could offset a 15% reduction in nest productivity attributable to burning.
Taking a 15% reduction in nesting and breaking it down. 50% nest mortality makes 7.5% hatched chicks. 60% chick mortality makes 6% grown poults. Take a few off before they become adults and you are equivalent with the 5% adult increase in adult survival to offset nest loss.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine
