While January seems only a few days ago, signs of spring are all around, from the blooming forsythia and redbud to the returning purple martins, and bald eagles are fledging. Bluebirds are checking out their nest boxes, and cardinals are renewing their efforts to head butt all reflective surfaces.

Like the birds, we are gearing up for spring and summer field projects. We hope this issue brings you up to date on some of the projects we are working on in the Nongame Endangered Wildlife Program. We will cover upcoming educational events, from Birding Bootcamps to Bird Festivals, upcoming research and monitoring efforts, and give some of the results of previous efforts.

As you will see, there are many opportunities to get involved in a number of education, research and monitoring projects across the state, and we strongly encourage you to consider lending your considerable talents to one or more projects that work to study and protect our diverse wildlife.
