The Role of Research in the Recovery of the Kirtland's Warbler
Dr. Carol Bocetti has been studying the Kirtland's warbler
and been involved in its management for more than 20 years. This
presentation features neat facts she and her research colleagues
have learned about the biology of this endangered warbler, and
how this knowledge has been used in its successful recovery. You
will become much more familiar with this unique bird and its
special jack pine habitat by attending this program.
Carol Bocetti knows a lot about the
Kirtland's warbler. She has been involved with scientific
research on the biology and habitat of the warbler for more than
20 years. In the early 1990s, Carol studied the KW as part of
her master's and Ph.D. studies at Ohio State University, and
from 1994 to 2004 she continued these studies as a research
scientist with the U.S. Department of Interior’s Patuxent
Wildlife Research Center in Maryland. She has led the Kirtland's
Warbler Research Committee since 1993 and was just appointed to
the prestigious position of leader of the Kirtland's Warbler
Recovery Team. Dr. Bocetti works as assistant professor of
biology at the California University of Pennsylvania in
California, Pennsylvania. She and her husband and two children
