Associate professor of biology John Confer, now retired but appointed scholar in residence, is part of a multiteam study on reasons for the decline of golden-winged warblers. The study, with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology as lead agency, was recently given $10,000 by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for Confer's work.
Studies will be conducted throughout the range of this declining species, with fieldwork conducted in a coordinated manner so that results can be easily compared.
