April 2024 Program: A Passion for Prothonotaries

Speaker: Charles Pfeifer, Jackson Audubon/Orleans Audubon Jackson Audubon has a 23 year long Prothonotary Warbler nest box project in LeFleur's Bluff State Park near Jackson, Mississippi. In the last five years it has evolved into a scientific study documenting breeding success. The data gathered demonstrate a high value breeding site for this beautiful bird of conservation concern. Along with a coalition of organizations, we are now battling the infamous One Lake project, the "worst environmentally damaging proposal that no one has heard of." It threatens to dredge away part of the park and damage the Pearl River through Mississippi and Louisiana.
