Greetings, Tweeters -

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology invites you to put your interest in and
enthusiasm for birds to work on a conservation project. We need volunteer
birders and professional biologists to participate in Birds in Forested
Landscapes Project. It is a good way to gain in-the-field experience, and can
be easily combined with current research. Please email me privately if you can
help out.

Birds in Forested Landscapes (BFL)
BFL is working to determine the effects of forest fragmentation on North
American forest birds. Participants choose BFL species that breed locally (48
species throughout NA) and select (a) study site(s) in fragments or contiguous
forest. They visit the site(s) twice during the breeding season, look for
evidence of breeding, and record habitat characteristics. Participants receive
a research kit and CD to use in the field for playback. Results from BFL are
being used to develop conservation and management guidelines for sustaining
healthy populations of these species (past results have been published as "A
Land Manager's Guide to Improving Habitat for Scarlet Tanagers and Other
Forest-Interior Birds.") For more information, visit www.birds.cornell.edu/bf
