A managed oak woodland on top of a bluff. There is a dense green herbaceous understory and the trees have been thinned so there is plenty of room between them. There is a light fog.

After >century w/out fire, how do insectivorous #birds respond to #oak #woodland management w/ #prescribed #fire?

We compared abundance of #Wisconsin #insectivores in managed vs unmanaged #woodlands. Read about it in Forest Ecology and Management & our website (bhrcollective.org/avian-insect...).

The same book has a fantastical story of how these #insectivores purportedly hunted for their favorite meal: "It lies on the ground and raises its scales.
