About the event
Emily Filiberti is a current graduate student at the University of Maine. Her research is focused on understanding the annual survival of Golden-winged Warblers across their breeding range.

Her fieldwork consists of trekking out to Tennessee, Kentucky, and Wisconsin and attaching year-long VHF coded NanoTags to male and female Golden-winged Warblers with the intention of collecting enough return rate data to analyze annual survival. This data will fill a critical gap in our knowledge of the species and will help to inform the listing decision (Endangered Species List) of this incredibly vulnerable warbler.
