Cancelled: The Rosy-Finch Project: A Labor of Love @ Zoom Online Presentation | Highland Park | Illinois | United States

This online program has been cancelled due to personal reasons of the presenter.

Rosy-Finches live in the highest altitude of all finches found in North America, making all three species found on the continent at great risk from global warming because their entire lifecycle is dependent on cool temperatures and snow-covered mountaintops. Raymond VanBuskirk, owner of New Mexico-based Brant Nature Tours, has studied Rosy-Finches since the early 2000s when he and his best friend set up a banding project on Sandia Crest Mountain in Albuquerque as teenagers. His long-term banding data are some of the best available on this seldom-studied species. Raymond will describe what the project has found and what the future holds for these tiny but hardy songbirds.
