By listening to these birds for decades, scientists track signs of a changing forest
Scientists tracking the birds in an experimental forest in New Hampshire have also tracked changes in the forest ecosystem over decades.

Thank you @nhpr.org for sharing this great story from Ari Daniel featuring work by @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social researchers including @mirandazamm.bsky.social. 🧪
Inside the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in Woodstock, scientists have toiled for over 50 years to build a trove of research about bird habitat and forest ecology.
It's believed to be the longest detailed record of breeding birds anywhere in the nation – and possibly the world.
