SUMMARY:Burning For Birds Field Days
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE: https://georgiaconservancy.org/land-burning-for-birds/\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Georgia Conservancy is hosting a series of field days on private properties in middle and south Georgia to highlight prescribed fire for bird habitat. Whether you are a landowner\, property manager\, birder\, or just interested in prescribed fire\, these field days are a great opportunity to learn more about this long-practiced approach to land management. \nOur first three Burning for Birds Field Days in Hawkinsville\, Charlton County\, and Glennville provided the public with hands-on experience conducting surveys for target bird species and the chance to learn more about prescribed fire as a habitat management tool. Learn more about our first two Field Days. \nBurning for Birds Field Day participants have the opportunity to conduct call-back surveys to sample for species of concern\, including Bachman’s sparrow\, Northern Bobwhite quail\, loggerhead shrike\, brown-headed nuthatch\, and Eastern towhee. Using a speaker with a pre-recorded audio file\, field day participants act as citizen scientists collecting data that helps document the occurrence of these rare birds. \nBurning for Birds Field Days include a prescribed fire workshop where participants receive training on how to responsibly conduct a prescribed burn. Topics include: what weather and site conditions are needed to burn\, prescribed fire rules and regulations in Georgia\, and which financial and technical resources are available. Field Days will end with a demonstration that allows participants the chance to put fire on the ground and learn the best way\, hands-on.
