New Canada-wide landbird density estimates
To support research and conservation planning we have produced new density estimates for 143 boreal bird species as well as population sizes and regional habitat associations.
We are pleased to provide you with the 2019-20 BAM Annual Report outlining BAM’s activities and collaborations during our previous year.

PhD Opportunity: species distribution and abundance models of Canadian owls
A PhD position is available in the Cumming lab at Laval University, Québec City, and is a collaboration with BAM, Birds Canada, and researchers in the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. The position will develop species distribution models to predict the density of owl species within the Canadian boreal region, and to estimate their total population sizes.
