Breeding bird surveys in upland and meadowland habitat.
CLIENT | Mass Fisheries & Wildlife

DATE | 2012-Ongoing
Conservation Works has completed many bird breeding surveys since 2012. Most recently in 2026, Jill and Pete continued the work for the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife at several beautiful wildlife management areas. Each of several dozen plots or transects is visited for 10 minutes 3 times each season, and all birds within 100 meters are charted on the official maps. The evening visits sometimes brought a beautiful sunset.
