Status Of Vermont Forest Birds “What’s up with the birds?” Steve Faccio, Conservation Biologist with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies will be sharing results from a quarter century of monitoring Vermont Forest Birds at the Waterbury Public Library, on Wednesday, October 11th from 6:30-7:30 in the SAL room. A 25-year study has documented over 14 percent overall decline in some of Vermont’s iconic forest birds, including warblers and woodpeckers, and in some cases up to 45 percent in aerial insectivores. Faccio, the author of this report urges us not to ignore this trend, as not only will we lose the bird population, but the vitality of our forests as well. Pesticide use, acid rain, climate change, forest fragmentation and parcelization, and non-native invasive species are all contributors. Come hear Faccio present this fascinating report and find out what you can do to help change the course of this disturbing trend.
