This is a reminder that Noah Perlut of the University of New England is to be speaking Monday evening (March 10) at 7 PM in the Mayer Room of the Howe Library in Hanover, NH, on "The Influence of Agricultural Management on Grassland Songbird Ecology and Evolution". This program, cosponsored by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon and the Hanover Conservancy, is free and open to the public. Dr. Perlut has conducted detailed studies on the effects of mowing schedules on the nesting success of grassland birds in New England. Birders frequently have questions about agricultural practices and grassland birds, and tomorrow's program will be a great opportunity to learn more about this topic.
