Register in advance for this meeting:
Learn more about the conservation work and research that CFO is seeking to raise funds for via your participation in the inaugural Colorado Birding Challenge, May 8, 2021. (Register a team or make a pledge today! https://cobirds.org/CFO/COBC/)
Bird Conservancy of the Rockies works to conserve grassland birds through a multi-pronged, international approach involving science, education and
land stewardship. Since deploying our first private lands wildlife biologist in 1997, the Conservancy now operates a network of almost 20 biologists strategically located in key grasslands and other areas of conservation importance from Montana to Mexico who work with landowners to leverage resources, improve habitat for birds and prevent the conversion of native lands to crops and other uses. These efforts are grounded in our scientific research aimed at identifying important areas, habitat conditions and other key factors that help us better target our efforts for maximum impact.

One area of grassland bird ecology that remains poorly understood is their movement patterns, both within and across seasons. Currently we are working to expand a network of automated radio-tracking towers (Motus) that will help us to monitor bird movements across the hemisphere for decades to come. This research will not only help identify large-scale movement patterns across multiple species to identify connectivity between specific breeding and wintering populations, but will also help improve our estimates of grassland bird survival and identify limiting factors across the lifecycle, which will further inform our stewardship and education efforts by our private lands biologists.
Feel free to share with your birding friends!
