The Vermont Center for Ecostudies advances the conservation of wildlife through research, monitoring and citizen engagement.

VCE ended 2009 – our second full year of existence – in strong shape. Staff achieved tangible progress towards our ambitious wildlife research and conservation agenda. We solidified our core initiatives, diversified our breadth, and added several innovative dimensions. Importantly, we

kept our citizen scientists engaged, strengthened our numerous collaborations, and broadly communicated our results through an array of channels. We weathered 2009’s challenging economic climate and

again ended our fiscal year in the black – we are poised to enjoy a robust 2010. As this report highlights, contributions from a legion of

individuals like you constitute VCE’s programmatic and financial lifeblood. Your continued support will be instrumental as we expand

our conservation programs across the Americas.

We sincerely thank each and every one of our supporters.

UVM’s Allan Strong and VCE’s Roz Renfrew placing a geolocator on a Bobolink

The Vermont Vernal Pool Mapping Project identified 830 potential vernal pools across the northern 6 counties of Vermont and trained nearly 150 volunteers to field-verify them.

VCE staff and partners used cutting edge technology to unravel the mysteries of songbird migration by attaching 36 solar geolocators to adult Bicknell’s Thrushes in the Green and Catskill Mountains, and coordinating with our Canadian colleagues to mark 34 birds in Quebec and the Maritimes. We deployed another 45 geolocators on Bobolinks in Vermont, Nebraska and Oregon.

VCE hired two new employees to begin 2010. Judith Scarl took the helm of Mountain Birdwatch and Sara Zahendra provides invaluable assistance with an array of projects as our Biological Technician.

Staff co-organized a community conservation workshop and held two intensive weeklong field

training workshops in the Dominican Republic to help build the capacity of our Dominican

and Haitian colleagues.

Thanks to the Vermont Loon Recovery Project and its dedicated volunteers, 66 loon pairs attempted nesting, and 53 successfully hatched 83 eggs, with a record 74 chicks surviving through August.

VCE biologists coordinated an invited symposium at the 2009 American Ornithologists’ Union

meeting in Philadelphia, presenting two scientific papers.

“...it is gratifying to see the progress that has been made in protecting loons...We realize, however, that threats and challenges to loon well-being remain... ~VCE Supporter

VCE staff will undertake the development of a 5-year strategic plan to solidify our directions and proactively meet upcoming conservation needs, making the best use of donor contributions.

2010 Upcoming Highlights

The Mountain Birdwatch Project will establish over 400 new survey points across the mountains of the Northeast and launch Mountain Birdwatch 2.0, featuring revised and more rigorous monitoring protocols for montane birds.

The International Bicknell’s Thrush Conservation Group will disseminate its finalized action plan to policy-makers, land managers, biologists and

others to begin implementation of a unified range wide strategy to conserve this vulnerable species and its habitats for future generations.

VCE biologists hope to recover at least 50% of the geolocators deployed on Bobolinks and Bicknell’s Thrushes in

2009 to retrieve ground-breaking information on migratory routes, timing, and wintering locations.

The second generation Vermont Breeding Bird Atlas will complete final design elements to create a website and a state-of-the-art book on the status of breeding birds in Vermont.

From 2002 to 2007 volunteer butterfly enthusiasts spent thousands of hours afield in an effort to record the status and distribution of Vermont butterflies, the first systematic statewide butterfly atlas ever to be undertaken. In 2010 we will share these data with students, land managers, policy makers, naturalists, scientists and others on the VBS web page.

In Memory of William Wilson VCE Partners In Memory of Julie Nicholson

Julie Nicholson travelling with friends in Africa.

With special thanks to Craig Snapp for this poignant photo, taken late

summer 2008: Bill at East Long Pond. Julie Nicholson was one of

VCE’s most dedicated citizen scientists, and a great friend.

She was extraordinarily passionate and committed to

birds and wildlife conservation. We at VCE miss her dearly.

Bill Wilson was an active volunteer for the Vermont Loon

Recovery Project. He and his partner, Lil Brewster, loved their loon pair

on East Long Pond.
