Marjorie, try checking your audio setting in Zoom and make sure that the sound is coming through your computer speakers.

Amy I love the warbler ID cartoon

Partnerships opportunities. I'm with University of Maryland Extension and we are building out some educational programming around early succession habitat.

My family wants to promote bobwhites on our farmland and we'd like to learn what's working elsewhere in the Piedmont

Looking forward to hearing updates on the projects. What’s new for 2022

Hi Amy - Our meadowlarks in Southern Maryland are on territory already - pairs are interacting - wing flicks, hopping, chasing. So early compared to what the literature would suggest!

What is the general state of Bobolinks in the Piedmont right now, and what are your predictions for their future there?

Flattery will……

So sorry to hear about the passing of Sally!

I’m interested in hearing from anyone (grad students or scientists) who might want to do research on specific topics related to grassland restoration or wildlife biodiversity. My land consists of a large open meadow surrounded by steep woods on a mountain. It’s a formal cattle pasture/orchard.

“Former” not formal…!

Apologies, I have to sign off (have to teach a class). Exciting stuff, looking forward to continued collaborations in the future! Nice to see everyone.

Would be great to have landowner gatherings!

Field trips to learn on the ground from VWL's programs

Sorry Have to leave. Amy- Thanks for this interesting summary and for all of your teams conservation efforts !

You are doing amazing work. Please proactively advise landowners regarding programs that offset the cost of changing to farming practices that help with plant and bird diversity! Thanks. Laura Dabinett

Thanks Amy, Charlotte …George Ohrstrom

This was really interesting, thanks for inviting me and please keep me on the list.

All of this information has been so helpful. These summaries are so important to give a clear picture of all of your impact. And that will be a beautiful film to summarize it all…Thank you so much!

Fascinating to see everything you’re doing!

I love this organization! Thank you for all you're doing! :)

So impressed by how far the VWL program has come since 2010! Keep up the great work!

Howard- I would suggest reaching out to your local private lands biologist to help develop a plan!

I think that is me! I cover Fauquier: cvuocolo@quailforever.org

So excited for the summer! Looking forward to seeing everyone and going out to the fields. Thank you for all you do.
