Successes in Bird Conservation on Cape Cod with Mike Tucker

In the face of multiple studies about declining bird populations, it’s important to recognize success stories in conservation. We will take a close look at the efforts on Cape Cod that are shining examples of why conservation matters. Preserved land, habitat restoration, scientific research and volunteer involvement are just some of the factors contributing to the bird conservation success stories here on Cape Cod. During this presentation we will see how grassland birds, migrating shore-birds, forest nesting species, cavity nesting species and more have benefitted through these efforts.

Mike TuckerMike Tucker grew up in RI and developed an interest in birds at a young age. He got his first binoculars at 11 years old and his first camera a year later. He’s been birding and taking photos ever since! Jobs with USFWS, the Audubon Society of RI and volunteer work for environmental non-profit organizations, have led to a wide variety of involvement in the world of birds. Bird survey work, public education (talks and walks), and various wildlife projects continue to be important elements of Mike’s life since moving to Cape Cod in 2017. Projects spearheaded by Mike have included nestbox programs for American Kestrel, Eastern Screech Owl and other cavity nesting species. He has also been involved with projects on nesting Barn Owls, Peregrine Falcons, Ospreys and Bald Eagles.
