She’s working on a longterm research project studying how golden-winged warblers use the young forest habitat being made on the Lake Tomahawk demonstration area, and what the best techniques are for efficiently making that kind of cover. Golden-winged warblers are still fairly abundant in the area, though their numbers have fallen for several decades. One way to boost their population is to provide ample amounts of the young forest they need for nesting and rearing young, while keeping some taller trees around so that males can use them as singing perches during the breeding season.
