VCE Releases a Major Report Today Documenting the Status of Vermont’s
Forest Birds

A 25-year study of Vermont’s forest birds, including woodpeckers, warblers
and other iconic species, has documented a 14.2 percent overall population
decline during the period, raising concerns about birds and forests alike.

“Whether we enjoy them at the feeder or in the woods, birds are vital to
the health of our forests,” said Steve Faccio, a VCE biologist and
principal author of a report on the study titled The Status of Vermont
Forest Birds: A Quarter Century of Monitoring. “If we ignore these trends
in bird populations, we risk losing not only birds but the vitality of our
forests as well.”
