Helene Recovery Project

Bird Communities

This project will evaluate the responses of birds to Hurricane Helene at the individual, population, and community levels by using tools such as ID-bands, audio-recording devices, and mist-nets. It will provide data to help prioritize and plan recovery projects for rare- and game-bird species like golden-winged warbler, cerulean warbler, and ruffed grouse.
