TRACKING THE EVER-CHANGING BIRD POPULATIONS, A LECTURE
BY CONSERVATIONIST CHANDLER ROBBINS, NOVEMBER 5



Washington College's McLain Program in Environmental Studies and the Center
for the Environment and Society, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE KENT COUNTY
CHAPTER OF THE MARYLAND ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY, present "Tracking Our
Ever-Changing Bird Populations: What Do We Know, What Can we Do?", a lecture
by Chandler S. Robbins, Research Wildlife Biologist with the USGS Patuxent
Wildlife Research Center. The talk will be held Tuesday, November 5 at 5
p.m. in the College's Hynson Lounge. The event is free and the public is
invited to attend.

A n ornithologist and biologist with the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center
since 1945, Robbins has led the effort to monitor populations of nongame
birds, and in 1966 developed the North American Breeding Bird Survey to
track population trends of birds across the continent to provide essential
data for conservation decisions. After surveys revealed that many migratory
songbirds were in decline, Robbins was part of a research team who studied
the status of bird habitats in the 1980s, revealing, among other factors,
that many bird species require large, unbroken tracts of undeveloped land to
breed and rear young. More than a scientist, Robbins is a passionate
conservationist who has passed on his enthusiasm to generations of
Americans, authoring one of the most popular birdwatching field guides used
since the mid-1960s.



Hynson Lounge is located in Hodson Hall, which is the second building on the
left after one enters the Washington College campus on North Campus Drive
off of MD Rt. 213. There is parking in the athletic field parking lot across
from the Casey Academic Center, which is the third building on the left on
North Campus Drive.



The Kent County Chapter is excited about co-sponsoring this lecture, and
hope to see you there.
