In this feature, we share updates on species from three raptor projects. Thanks to everyone involved with this research, including the donors that generously funded the transmitters and the researchers.
In 2024, 12 Christmas Bird Counts were done within the our chapter area (which encompasses 10 counties), and 611 birders spent 1,416 hours tallying up 124,732 birds!
In 2023, we were contacted by Kelly VanBeek, Midwest Grassland and Native Seed Strategy Coordinator with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, who was working on a Common Grackle research project.
