2021 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Rusty Blackbird Use of Commercial Spruce-Fir Forests of Northern New England
Douglas studies the Rusty Blackbird, one of the continent’s most rapidly declining songbirds, which breeds in young spruce-fir stands adjacent to freshwater wetlands. His work focuses on the potential impacts of commercial logging practices, such as clearcutting and pre-commercial thinning, on Rusty Blackbird nesting and on fledgling habitat selection and survival. These efforts will contribute to the development of new management guidelines for the species.
