Join young field biologist and avid birder Aaron Yappert to learn about the movements of Brown-capped Rosy-Finches on Tuesday, May 26th 2020. Aaron will share how these high-alpine breeders move about the state in the winter months, whether birds in isolated breeding areas show unique genetic characteristics, and how these new discoveries will help inform the conservation of this colorful Colorado bird.  Join us to hear more about recent efforts by Colorado Parks & Wildlife, researchers at the University of California – Santa Cruz, and Bird Conservancy of the Rockies to better understand the natural history of these poorly studied denizens of the high-alpine.

Aaron Yappert is a young field biologist and avid birder and has spent the last several years exploring the avifauna of North America. He has contributed to a variety of research projects including studies of breeding shorebirds in Alaska, Grasshopper Sparrows in Florida, neotropical migrants in Michigan, and, most recently, Brown-capped Rosy-Finches in southwest Colorado.

When: Tuesday May 26, 2020.   Presentation starting at 7:15 PM.

Where: Online. This meeting was not recorded.
