This week the ABA announced their "Bird of the Year," the Evening Grosbeak. I was asked to write a blog post about their current population trends, which was posted on their blog today, here: http://blog.aba.org/2012/03/what-is-happening-to-evening-grosbeaks.html
I don't like to post about my own work on the MOU listserv, but I used the Duluth and state Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count data, so this may be of interest to some of you. Best, Laura - Laura Erickson Duluth, MN For the love, understanding, and protection of birds There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. —Rachel Carson Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
