Webinar: Birds as Habitat Health Indicators

Birds as Habitat Health Indicators

Organized by: St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM)

On May 17th, 2024, from 1 PM- 2 PM via Zoom join SLELO PRISM and the Albany Pine Bush to learn how birds can be used as a biological indicator to determine habitat health. Birds are biological indicators, meaning they are relatively quick to respond to changes in ecosystem composition, structure, and function; this includes those changes brought about by both the invasion and management of invasive species. Conservation Director of the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission, Neil Gifford, will discuss a bird banding and tracking program used at the Preserve to determine ecosystem health, the impacts of invasive species, and benefits of management, as well as ways homeowners and land managers can support birds.
