After fire in California's forests, what happens to the birds?

Out of the 42 relatively common bird species in the study - including the mountain quail, green-tailed towhee, fox sparrow and lazuli bunting - each responded to fires a bit differently over time. For 11 species, population density increased and remained higher in the burned areas, with little or no signals of slowing down, even 35 years after a fire. For nine species, these benefits lasted longer than 20 years. For the rest, the benefits lasted less than two decades, or they showed little response at
