[TN-Bird] Research Project Needs Birders

Dear Tennessee Birders,

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is looking for volunteer birders and
professional biologists to participate in Birds in Forested Landscapes
Project.This project is a good way to gain in-the-field experience, and can 
be easily
combined with current research. Please email me privately if you can help
out. Below is a little about the project.

Many thanks,

Birds in Forested Landscapes (BFL)
BFL is working to determine the effects of forest fragmentation and acid
rain on North American forest birds. Participants choose BFL species that
breed locally (48 species throughout NA) and select (a) study site(s) in
fragments or contiguous forest. They visit the site(s) twice during the
breeding season, look for evidence of breeding, and record habitat
characteristics about the site in the field and from maps. Participants
receive a research kit and CD to use in the field for playback. Visit
www.birds.cornell.edu/bfl to find out more about the project and to sign up
to participate this season.

Results from BFL have just been published as conservation and management
guidelines for sustaining healthy populations of these species. For
information about how to receive a copy of the new publication, "A Land
Manager's Guide to Habitat Requirements for Forest Thrushes" visit
