ABSTRACT. The impact of anthropogenic activities on breeding bird populations are typically assessed using nest success despite the importance of the postfledging period and juvenile survival for the population dynamics of many birds. Using a combination of radio telemetry data collected between 2012 and 2014, and long-term monitoring data collected between 2005 and 2016, we evaluated whether postfledging survival of Yellow Warblers (Setophaga petechia) is affected when their riparian nesting habitat becomes inundated by the Upper Arrow Lakes Reservoir in the Columbia River Valley near Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. Thirty-eight percent of radiotagged fledglings (n = 26) survived for at least 21 days after leaving the nest. Radio-tagged birds that fledged from nests in territories that were inundated by water tended to be have lower survival than those that fledged from nests in territories that were not inundated by water. Local recruitment was low (6.4%, n = 438). Local recruitment was nevertheless positively affected by nestling condition prior to fledging. Fledglings from territories that were not inundated by water also tended to be more likely to recruit locally than those that fledged from territories that were inundated by water. In both cases, we estimated that reservoir operations that flooded habitat reduced postfledging survival or local recruitment by approximately 50%. Our study emphasizes the importance of considering the postfledging period when developing mitigation measures or management plans aimed at minimizing the impact of anthropogenic activities on bird populations. Survie des jeunes après l'envol et recrutement local d'un passereau ripicole nichant dans un habitat touché par la régulation du niveau d'eau d'un réservoirRÉSUMÉ. Les impacts qu'ont les activités anthropiques sur les populations d'oiseaux nicheurs sont habituellement évalués à partir du succès de nidification, malgré l'importance de la période suivant l'envol des jeunes et la survie juvénile dans la dynamique de population de nombreux oiseaux. En combinant des données de radiotélémétrie obtenues entre 2012 et 2014 et des données provenant d'un suivi réalisé de 2005 à 2016, nous avons évalué dans quelle mesure la survie après l'envol des jeunes de Paruline jaune (Setophaga petechia) était affectée lorsque leur habitat de nidification se trouve inondé par le réservoir Upper Arrow Lakes dans la vallée du fleuve Columbia près de Revelstoke, Colombie-Britannique, Canada. Trente-huit pourcent des jeunes munis d'un émetteur (n = 26) ont survécu au moins 21 jours après avoir quitté le nid. La survie des jeunes ayant pris leur envol de nids situés sur des territoires ayant été inondés était généralement plus faible que celle des oiseaux ayant pris leur envol de nids situés sur des territoires n'ayant pas été inondés. Le recrutement local était faible (6,4 %, n = 438). Néanmoins, le recrutement local était positivement lié à la condition des jeunes avant l'envol. Les jeunes ayant pris leur envol dans les territoires non inondés ...
