Paper maps are great, but if you want the digital version, here's the 
website for the GMUG (Grand Mesa - Uncompahgre - Gunnison National Forests) 
MVUMs: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/gmug/home/?cid=stelprdb5191814

Here's the contact info for the GMUG headquarters.. 
https://www.fs.usda.gov/contactus/gmug/about-forest/contactus 

The digital maps are all georeferenced and useable on your phone or tablet 
with the Avenza map app, which is free for up to 3 maps at a time. Download 
the map you want before you go to the field and then it will be ready to 
use while you are offline out of cell range.

[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Webinar

2022-08-08 Thread Tyler Cash 
Hello CO Birders,

Please join us next Thursday, August 18th from 5pm - 6pm MT for a webinar

work that she does for our nonbreeding program

Cheers,
Tyler Cash

Grassland bird populations have seen a greater decrease than any other 
guild of birds in North America since the 1970s. To address these steep 
declines, Bird Conservancy implements a Non-breeding Grassland Bird 
Monitoring Program in the Chihuahuan Desert where the majority of North 
American migratory grassland birds overwinter. We are using this survey 
data to establish baseline population estimates for several species of 
grassland birds and to track changes in populations, habitat types and 
conditions across years.

In this presentation, Avian Ecologist Annie Hawkinson will share background 
information on this program and provide an example of how data collected 
can benefit the conservation of the Baird’s sparrow. Annie will also share 
what it is like to coordinate a monitoring effort across the US and MX 
border.

The program fee is $3 to attend this webinar.

In order to provide equitable access to all, complimentary tickets are 
available at no cost to the participant thanks to support from generous 
donors.

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing the ZOOM 
link to be used the day of the webinar.

* Registration closes at 11:59 pm on 8/18/22
