"Keep the Swamp Candle Burning: Understanding Population Demographics and Spatial Movements of Prothonotary Warblers in SE Kansas", presented by Gabe MaClain. "The Prothonotary Warbler is a Neotropical migrant that has recently been discovered breeding in SE Kansas. They have seen steady declines since the 1960's within their core range, but populations are increasing or remaining steady throughout the western portion of the range, including Kansas. In this talk, we will learn about Prothonotary Warbler history, explore the environmental factors impacting nest success, and discuss their spatial movements within and between breeding seasons." |
