An overview of KBO’s long-term monitoring and applied ecology research will focus on current projects occurring in the Klamath Basin. An overview of long-term monitoring will include KBO’s bird banding program, monitoring in the National Parks, and a new long-term monitoring program initiated this spring in shrub-steppe habitats. The presentation will also highlight species-specific studies. The presentation will include time for questions and discussion about these projects and broader bird conservation initiatives.
