UVBirders- This talk tomorrow (Friday) could be very interesting and important... while also providing a great excuse to have dinner in Montpelier. Perhaps worth going even earlier, and searching for the Hawk Owl? This event is sponsored by the North Branch Nature Center, I believe. Doug Hardy **Grassland Bird Conservation in Vermont** ***Friday, January 14, 7pm @ the Unitarian Church of Montpelier (130 Main St.) **Fee: by donation* Vermont is home to a suite of 9 species of birds that nest in our hayfields, pastures, and recently abandoned agricultural land. These species have shown steep, long-term population declines as a result of changes in land use practices. Partially a response to the decrease in agricultural land in Vermont and partially a response to more intensive agricultural management, many of these species are rare, threatened, or endangered in Vermont. In 2002, *Allan Strong* and *Noah Perlut* began a study to examine the effects of agricultural management practices on grassland birds. Their research into the breeding biology of these species has led to a suite of management practices that are designed to simultaneously maintain grassland bird populations without affecting the farmer's bottom line. **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
