October 3 – Investigating the Winter Nocturnal Nest Box use of the Black-crested Titmouse

Location: Michigan Nature Association Education Room 2310 Science Parkway, Okemos, MI

Are nest boxes important to birds outside of the breeding season? Join us as we hear from Christina Farrell about her research into the use of nest boxes as overnight roosting sites for Black-crested Titmice.

Christina obtained a B.S. in Geography from Texas State University in the fall of 2013 and finished her M.S. in Wildlife Ecology at Texas State in the fall of 2018. She has recently focused on pursuing her passion for bird banding, most recently at the Michigan State Bird Observatory. Her favorite bird is the Common Nighthawk.
