Avian Ecology Lab NRRI

Bird lab at @UMDNRRI1 using #science to promote ecological and economic management solutions for the good of all #MN #birds!🐦

[Avian Ecology Lab NRRI @BirdLab_NRRI]

Hello Twitter! This lab is led by Dr. Alexis Grinde at the University of MN, Duluth NRRI where we use research to inform land management practices to preserve the species diversity of MN's birds. Follow us here for updates on our research🔬, bird news📰, & fun bird facts🐦!

Quality ≠ quantity: What happens to biodiversity when old, mixed #Acadianforest is converted to single species plantations over 35 years? We used remote sensing and long-term bird population data to test effects of "forest degradation" in eastern Canada. https://t.co/FyA6MkiVyU

Thanks to a lucky photograph by Mac Stone (@MacStonePhoto), @AudubonFL scientists discovered the oldest Roseate Spoonbill ever found in the wild: It's 18 years old and still raising chicks. Learn what other info they gathered from this banding project. https://t.co/O1vtwuIBvz

We placed trail cameras to document wildlife that use black ash wetlands and caught some adorable fur friends over the winter!

We've been busy building and deploying almost 150 boxes for #EasternBluebird and #TreeSwallow throughout Minnesota in preparation for our new aerial insectivore project

Stephen Nelson presented results from our study documenting migratory shorebirds use of Interstate Island during and post restoration at the #MNTWS meeting today. We have documented 18 shorebird species using a combination of in-person surveys and camera traps!

Avian ecologist, Steve Kolbe, presented findings from our research on Connecticut Warbler breeding and fledgling habitat use. This species is a "structure specialist" and needs large tracts of black spruce and tamarack for breeding. @MNForestEd @UMDNRRI1 #CONW

[UMN SFEC @MNForestEd]

This was a great talk. Steve Kolbe and Ryan Bednar also presented from your team. Great to have them all here.

Off to a great start at this year's Research and Practice Review! https://t.co/mDXdhmu3ZM

Just heard from @BirdLab_NRRI studying Connecticut Warbler habitat use at the @MNDNR Red Lake WMA. Testing pop response to dif't harvest patterns.

Interior Department's @SecBernhardt continues efforts to strip away bird protections under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Urge your U.S. Representative to respond to this attack on America's birds. Take action to #ProtectTheBirds with @audubonsociety. https://t.co/z6fRQDHaQk
