The black-capped vireo was listed as endangered in 1987. Conservation efforts across the breeding range of the bird has greatly improved population status since that time. Notably, the black-capped vireo was de-listed from the endangered species list in 2018. The Kerr WMA took an instrumental role in research and conservation efforts over the years and currently participates in a monitoring phase for the species. On the WMA, black-capped vireo male territories increased from 27 in 1986 to around 500 in recent years. Creating more suitable habitat under a holistic management approach on the WMA has helped this species thrive. The use of prescribed fire in repeated applications, among many other management practices across the WMA, has improved nesting success and helped the species thrive. The seasonal trapping of brown-headed cowbirds greatly contributed to this recovery effort and has resulted in a significant reduction in nest parasitism from 75% to 12% on the WMA.
