Thank you for visiting the website of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\u2019s Hubbard Brook Field Ornithology Program for Cornell undergraduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hubbard Brook Field Ornithology Program<\/a> is a research and training program in field ornithology based during the summer months at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the scenic White Mountains of New Hampshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over half a century, the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest<\/a> has been used extensively for studies of birds. Over those years, the forest ecosystem has experienced significant changes. Long-term studies are extremely valuable for understanding the impact of slow changes in the forest ecosystem on bird populations and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest has served as training grounds for learning and practicing a variety of field techniques used to study birds. The Hubbard Brook Field Ornithology Program provides Cornell undergraduates meaningful, research experience and field training and the opportunity to design independent research to support diverse career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our highly interdisciplinary team<\/a> of scientists, educators, and students at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, and other partner institutions study how individuals and populations of migratory birds respond to changes in their environment. We link individual mechanisms, including behavior, physiology, and genetic variation, to population dynamics. Our long-term population study of the Black-throated Blue Warbler at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest is one of the longest and most comprehensive bird studies in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome inquiries from undergraduates with strong interests in learning field techniques to contribute to our long-term bird research<\/a> in collaboration with our research team<\/a> at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
