ESF-5310: Avian Nesting Ecology

Birds nest in a variety of habitats in southern New England, ranging from coastal dunes to grasslands to mixed forests. This field-oriented course will involve trips to local areas, where we’ll see species engaged in various aspects of breeding, including courtship, nest-building, territorial defense, and feeding of young. In the context of our observations we will discuss the life history strategies of our local breeding species, consider how birds ‘fit’ into the broader ecosystem, and discuss ways that birds often focus public attention on larger conservation issues.
