Bird monitoring event March 27

BETHEL — A special event, “High-elevation Bird Monitoring in the Northeast: Tracking the Elusive for Conservation,” will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, at McLaughlin Auditorium, Gould Academy. The program, co-hosted with Mahoosuc Land Trust, is free and open to the public.

Speaker Judith Scarl Judith is a conservation biologist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, where she leads Mountain Birdwatch. This program represents a unique opportunity not only to hear more about a bird that figures so prominently in Maine conservation issues, but the wider topic of high elevation birds.

Breeding in the dense, almost impenetrable forests of the Northeast’s mountaintops, the mysterious habits of the Bicknell’s Thrush have long been shrouded in secrecy. Intensive research and monitoring over the past two decades have given scientists unique insights into the biology of this vulnerable bird.
