[cobirds] From House Wrens to Herons: Updates from DFO Funded Avian Research

Denver Field Ornithologists last monthly program before the spring/summer break is Monday, April 25 at 7 PM via Zoom. This program is free and open to all. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qR0dp0nyTw2SWRTL9W3YYw

We will hear from three researchers whose work was funded in part by DFO's grant program. 
  • Noelle Mason, undergraduate student at Colorado State University, will present on her research on common songbirds netted on the CSU's Environmental Learning Center. Her research uses DNA from blood samples to gauge life stress on wild bird populations.
  • Patrick Magee, Associate Professor of Wildlife and Conservation Biology at Western Colorado University will present on the large colony of herons nesting along the Slate River in Crested Butte, CO. The colony is threatened by recreational use of the river.
  • William Anderson, graduate student at Colorado University Boulder will present his research using whole genome data to study two lineages of House Wrens that hybridize in a contact zone where the Rockies meets the Plains.
