Golden-winged Warbler - Brawley Mountain, GA

I am posting this for my friend Emily in Indiana, PA who is the Project Manager & Conservation Planner for Working Lands for Wildlife. Her specific tasks are to work with the landowners in PA to create wildlife habitat conducive for the breeding of Golden-winged Warblers.

 

These birds are very close to Endangered status and need all of our help...same goes for the Cerulean Warbler as well.

 

Both birds are species of special concern to the American Bird Conservancy who has been supporting Emily's work and the work of Dr. Jeffrey Larkin of the University of Indiana Pennsylvania for the past 4 or 5 years .

 

Dr. Larkin and his students and graduate students have been woking in the field for years studying the GWWA regarding habit preferences for nesting, nesting materials, preferred altitude above sea level, types of trees and shrubs in areas they prefer, what they like to eat, etc.

 

Their research and findings have been most valuable to the scientific community.

 

I encourage everyone to join and support the American Bird Conservancy----
