:) Thanks!

JP on nutrient poor sites is not unique to the UP. Why weren't Kirtlands in other States with these habitats and fire history?

Thanks for your question, Thomson.

Hi Thomson -- that is the question! With an increasing population we are starting to see Kirtland's Warbler expand into UP, Ontario, and Wisconsin and the numbers growing instead of a few here and there. If the population continues might we see them expand into MN. It isn't any one answer, but small population, energetics to get there with lower possibility of finding a mate, and understory condition of jack pine (not all created equal)...they like the poorest of the poor with slow growing jack pine and well developed blueberry. there is also thinking that they just don't like the cold, so they will remain on the southern edge of jack pine range. ,

Thank you for your response, Deahn

Thankyou!!!

I'm curious if you could address your concept of a return or co-managerial approach to National Parks in the future?

What do you think the role of language has as we move forward in our relationship with the natural world? I'm thinking of how the language we speak shapes our thoughts/relationships, history of english language in setllement etc...

Thank you David. That was amazing!! So much to think about.

Thanks David!

Safe travels David! thank you

Miigwech!!!

Thank you, David. Safe travels.

Thanks, David!

Chi miigwech David! Safe travels and hope to see you again soon.

David mentioned an Ojibwe nighthawk story - For those interested, there is a book of Minnesota Ojibwe bird stories and legends "Binesi-Dibaajimowinan, Ojibwe Bird Stories," by Ogimaagiizhig Odoodeman Adikwan (Charles Grolla) that is fantastic. I reference it often as a biologist and birder.

Cool, thanks Liz!

I loved your humility and honesty, David. Miigwech for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for the wonderful reference Liz! I haven't heard of that book before.

That sounds really interesting, Liz! I'm adding this to my reading list.

Do you have a lot of problems with CWD in Yellowstone? And if so is there things you do to reduce the spread?

Scott - Thank you for your presentation. Can you say more about the process or tool you used for aggregating information to prioritize trout habitat work in the Madison?
