American Kestrel Nest Box Initiative

American Kestrels are declining across much of their North American range, yet scientists are struggling to understand why. Join the Yolo Bird Alliance (YBA) for an informative presentation about local American Kestrel populations, by Dr. Breanna Martinico, PhD student Mary Badger. (In January 2024, the YBA’s program featured a different local initiative led by John McNerney and Kevin Hunting. Tonight’s program gives us insights on local collaborative efforts to advance American Kestrel conservation.) Dr. Breanna Martinico is a wildlife biologist and ecologist, specializing in ornithology, and received her Master’s in Avian Sciences and PhD in Ecology from UC Davis. She works with University of California Agriculture and Natural resources as a Human-Wildlife Interactions Cooperative Extension Advisor Mary Badger is a PhD student in the Graduate Group in Ecology at UC Davis. Her research explores how climate change and human land use affect the ecology of native raptors across different stages of their annual life cycle.
