Wisconsin’s Boreal Birds in the Midst of a Changing Climate

A suite of boreal birds live year-round in the boreal forest that reaches the northern third of Wisconsin, including Canada jays, spruce grouse, black-backed woodpeckers, and boreal chickadees. Over the past decade, these species’ populations have steeply declined, with boreal chickadees becoming nearly non-existent. Join UW-Madison PhD Candidate, Janelle Taylor, for a look at her study of these species, their habitat needs, and her study's conservation importance.
