Sagehen Creek Field Station

26 May, 05 AM - 30 Jun, 05 AM

In 1997 we began studying the demography (reproduction, recruitment and survival) of willow flycatchers in the North Central Sierra Nevada. We map flycatcher territories, observe nests, band nestlings and resight color banded adults from June through August annually. Study areas are focused on the Little Truckee River region (North of Truckee, CA) and the Upper Truckee/Carson River Region (South of Meyers, CA). The project is completed through a contract with the US Forest Service and MOU with the California Department of Fish and Game. 2003 will be our sixth year based at Sagehen Creek Field Station. The only research activities within the reserve would include broadcasting the willow flycatcher song along the stream course to determine if willow flycatchers are present. If present we would observe the birds with binoculars to determine if they are wearing color bands (birds dispersed from our primary monitoring locations).
