Presentation:
"The Kirtland's
Warbler Winter Research and Training Project" -
Much is known about the summer ecology of
the Kirtland's warbler and how best to maintain its special
habitat – and its survival – here in northern Michigan. Very
little, however, has been known about its habitat and life
requirements on its wintering grounds in the Bahamas.
But a unique research and training project was started on
Eleuthera Island, Bahamas, in 2002 to help change that. The
project’s goals are to first identify which habitats and factors
are crucial to the Kirtland’s winter survival, and secondly, to
build public and governmental support for the conservation of
the Kirtland's warbler and its habitat in the Bahamas.
This program describes this exciting project, plus new
biological information learned about our special warbler.
