The secret life of the Kirtland's warbler

Article Abstract:

A project that seeks to train Bahaman biologists and to strengthen local capacity to monitor, manage and protect natural areas that sustain resident and migrant birds, including the Kirtland's warbler is carried out. Its goal is to teach bird-survey techniques to associate-degree graduates of the College of the Bahamas, who are recruited for the project by Eric Carey of the Bahamas National Trust where the students learn to identify, capture and band birds.

Bird research 101

Article Abstract:

Ornithologists David Currie, Joe Wunderle, Dave Ewert and their field assistants wants to identify prairie warblers, gray catbirds, other wintering migratory birds, thick-billed vireos, Bahama mockingbirds and Greater Antillean bullfinches to assess the birds' physical condition and document sex and age. They would mark individuals so they can be recognized later, either by sight or, in the case of Kirtland's warblers, by radio signal.
