PRESENTATION TITLE: “Wood Thrush movements and habitat use in Virginia”

PRESENTER: Vitek Jirinec, Ph.D. Candidate, Louisiana State University, School of Renewable Natural Resources

DESCRIPTION: Vitek Jirinec’s talk will overview his master’s research that involved radio-tracking over 50 birds in coastal Virginia. While the main takeaways included Wood Thrush roosting ecology and diurnal habitat use at suburban parks, birds evidently fly. This inconvenience resulted in additional lessons about local police, US Navy, CIA, and an assertive Cessna pilot called Captain Fuzzzo.
