Our biologists consult with a wide range of business, homeowners, and government agencies.

Following the Ceruleans: Cerulean Warbler Research

Cerulean Warbler on NestCerulean Warbler research conducted this spring at the Fort Custer Training Center (FCTC) included an ongoing survival study, nest observations, and radio-tagging. A single female received a 0.2 gram transmitter several days before she began nest building. Tracking her movements allowed us to make new observations for the species and also to discover how the warbler uses resources at FCTC.
One of the joys of this study was the opportunity to see these birds and their daily habits. If you would like to view a few moments from this season's study, please visit the following links:
