Grassland birds in New England: causes of decline and reasons to be optimistic

How do we explain the disappearance of Bobolink, Meadowlark and other birds of our farmlands?   UNE Professor Noah Perlut's talk will explore the life-histories of resident grassland species, and discuss how their ecology is affected by agricultural management.  Perhaps most important, he will describe diverse management options that can benefit both land managers and birds.
