The Peregrine Audubon Society will be hosting a Zoom presentation on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.: "Monitoring Avian Community Responses to an Oak Woodland Megafire," with Kendall Calhoun
What species are vulnerable to wildfires in California?
Kendall is a PhD student in the Brashares lab at UC Berkeley. He will be discussing his studies at the Hopland Research and Extension Center assessing the impacts of the 2018 Mendocino Complex wildfire on local bird communities.
Using a combination of biodiversity monitoring techniques, including remote audio recorders and cameras, Kendall monitored bird species diversity and habitat usage over time. He hoped to identify species that are vulnerable to wildfires in California with the goal of assisting in policy decisions that create more resilient habitats and ecosystems in the future.
