SUMMARY:December:  Roger J. Masse\, Ph.D. - "Young Forest Bird Conservation"
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 10\, 2026\n – Roger J. Masse\, Ph.D.\n\n\nDuring this seminar\, Roger will be discussing issues related to young forest bird conservation in the Northeast\, USA.  Young forest bird conservation has been the focus of many recent initiatives across New York and the broader Northeast.  Populations of these species\, such as Eastern towhee\, blue-winged warbler\, and American woodcock require active habitat management to thrive on contemporary landscapes.  During his presentation\, Roger will outline historical forest change in the Northeast\, discuss why young forests are important\, overview examples of young forest initiatives\, and summarize the types of species that benefit from young forest management.\n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\nDr. Roger J. Masse is a broadly-trained wildlife biologist with particular interests in undergraduate education\, wildlife habitat use and management\, and birds.  He earned a BS in Wildlife Biology from University of Vermont\, a MS in Natural Resources from Delaware State University\, and a PhD in Environmental Science from University of Rhode Island.  A common theme throughout his formal training was an interest in studying birds.  In Vermont\, he worked with grassland songbirds during an undergraduate research experience; in Delaware\, he studied wood thrush populations and other forest-breeding birds; in Rhode Island\, he studied habitat use and behavior of American woodcock and other young forest birds.  Roger currently works as an associate professor of wildlife management at SUNY Cobleskill where he provides his students with hands-on experience related to wildlife studies including songbird and American woodcock capture\, measurement\, and banding among other topics.\n\n\n\n\nLook for the Zoom link in your email a few days prior to the meeting. The Zoom Room will open at 6:45 PM.  Don’t wait until the last minute to sign on\, you might be left out!
