‘North Dakota Outdoors’ segment focuses on meadowlark study
In this week’s segment of “North Dakota Outdoors,” host Mike Anderson of the North Dakota Game and Fish Department tells us about a GPS tracking study targeting North Dakota’s state bird, the Western meadowlark. Meadowlarks are a good indicator of grassland habitat quality, and with the loss of grasslands, their populations are declining. Joining Anderson to discuss the study are Andy Boyce, a research ecologist for the Smithsonian Institute; and Sandra Johnson, conservation biologist for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
