Yellowstone Forever Speaker Series -- David Haines

David Haines, Wildlife Biologist and Yellowstone's Bird Program Lead will speak at Yellowstone Forever, Gardiner.

Admission is free to the public.

Yellowstone National Park's landscape is home to approximately 150 breeding bird species and supports many other species during seasonal passage through the region. The Yellowstone Bird Program monitors a suite of species and bird communities in the park with some long-term data exceeding 90 years.  Some of this data has identified species declines, the recovery of the bald eagle and peregrine falcon from the negative effects of widespread DDT use; bird community responses to changes in the environment, and more.  This talk will provide an overview of Yellowstone's Bird Program and highlight monitoring, research, and management for trumpeter swans, peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and willow songbird communities.
