The Wake-up Call: Eastern Whip-poor-will

Some call them goatsuckers, others may think of them as dragons in the night sky...but we know them lovingly as the Eastern Whip-poor-will. We're joined by three researchers who are exploring the habitats, food sources, and migratory ranges of the Eastern Whip-poor-will.  We learn all kinds of spooky facts about this elusive species, and gain insights into their threats and challenges. Plus we get to take a behind the scenes look at how research is done for this species at risk. Help us keep doing what we do best by donating today (https://conserve.birdscanada.org/page...) . Thank you!  Natasha shared many great ways to help the Eastern Whip-poor-will and aerial insectivores, here are some of our favorites:  • Canadian Nightjar Survey (https://www.birdscanada.org/bird-scie...) • Global Nightjar Network (https://www.globalnightjar.org/) • Breeding Bird Survey (https://www.birdscanada.org/bird-scie...) • Breeding Bird Atlas (https://www.birdscanada.org/bird-scie...) • Bird Gardens (https://birdgardens.ca/) And if you'd like to keep learning, check out the State of Canada's Birds (https://naturecounts.ca/nc/socb-epoc/...) , get some quick facts (https://view.publitas.com/birds-canad...) , or dive into some research (https://www.researchgate.net/publicat...) that was mentioned in the episode!  Help birds and bugs today by ordering some bird-friendly coffee (https://birdsandbeans.ca/warblers/) .

She is researching the home range dynamics and nest site selection of Eastern Whip-poor-wills. Victoria hopes to help bridge the knowledge gaps for this species with her research, helping to inform landowners on how they can help support Whip-poor-will populations and entice this iconic bird to use their properties.  Lauren Weeks is completing her master's in the McGuire Lab at the University of Waterloo. Her main topics of interest are avian migration and diet composition. Passionate about the outdoors, Lauren loves hiking while looking for cool birds and bugs. She hopes her research will contribute to conservation efforts to support species at risk.  Natasha Barlow grew up near Point Pelee National Park in southern Ontario, and didn't fully appreciate the area until she had already moved away. Thankfully, she realized the error in her ways, and after completing her masters assessing the efficacy of restoration and conservation strategies on protecting sagebrush songbirds, she now coordinates various field-based research projects, runs citizen science programs, and advocates for change for aerial insectivores in Ontario as a Projects Biologist with Birds Canada.  Andrea Gress (she/her) secretly thinks Piping Plovers are better than all the other birds...studied Renewable Resource Management at the University of Saskatchewan. She pivoted towards birds, after an internship in South Africa. Upon returning, she worked with Piping Plovers in Saskatchewan, and then as the Ontario Piping Plover Coordinator. Years of sharing her love of plovers with beach goers has turned into a full time communications role with Birds Canada. Support the show (https://conserve.birdscanada.org/page...)
