2015 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Nathaniel J. Behl is currently a first-year graduate student at the University of Wyoming, Laramie. His project is entitled "The effect of habitat and landscape on the density and distribution of South Hills Crossbills.” It is aimed at identifying how landscape patterns and habitat structure influence the density and distribution of this unique Crossbill whose habitat stretches across a large portion of the Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine forest in southern Idaho. Since the pines are endangered, so are the Crossbills. His study will be conducted over two summers and will inform future conservation efforts.
