Dr. Cindy Staicer will provide an introduction to our species at risk (SAR) forest birds: their conservation status, how to identify them by sight and sound, their breeding season, ecology and habitat needs, as well as an overview of declines in their populations. She will focus in how to conserve the habitats for each species.
The presentation will include how to survey for SAR birds, map their territories, identify potential habitat, and use Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) like AudioMoths, to document SAR.
Dr. Cindy Staicer has been conducting research on forest birds in Nova Scotia for over 25 years. She retired from the Biology Department at Dalhousie University in 2019 and is now an adjunct professor. As a Dal prof, she developed and led its SEASIDE summer field course program and developed and taught various courses on Ecology and Biodiversity, including Dal’s new Species At Risk field course.
Over the years, Cindy has trained many students, interns, and volunteers, and has led several research, monitoring, and stewardship projects. Work by Cindy and her students have laid the foundation for the current forest bird monitoring program at Kejimkujik, examined the effects of riparian buffer width on forest bird species, and compared the bird communities in harvested and protected landscapes. More recently her team has been focussing on SAR forest birds, conducting SAR surveys, quantifying their habitat, and conducting public outreach activities.
