The Golden-Winged Warbler, a rare and threatened bird: Le Duing Lang

The Golden-Winged Warbler is a threatened species. Since 2008, QuébecOiseaux has been working with volunteers and biologists in order to detect the presence of the species in the Montérégie region. Le Duing Lang will present the Golden-Winged Warbler, the threats to the species, the hybridization of the species with the Blue-Winged Warbler, the detection project in private lands, the genetic analyses as well as the banding of the warblers found in the area.

Le Duing did her Master's degree in Biology at the Université de Montréal. She has been working for QuébecOiseaux since 2007. She is responsible for projects concerning endangered species such as the Golden-Winged Warbler and the Chimney Swift. She also participates in the restoration of the Sainte-Martine Dam, an important site for the observation of shorebirds.
