For the best results, data will be collected for one year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to know what happens when they nest and are obviously disturbed. Chicks might not hatch,\u201d Forys said. \u201cWhen birds are migrating, energy is important. Energy expended [flying off their nests] when they don\u2019t need to is less energy they have when it&#8217;s time to fly back to their breeding lands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Birds are an important part of the ecosystem, but the numbers of some species are plummeting\u2014some declining as much as 90% in the last 20 years, according to the professor. \u201cWe are trying to learn what we can about why these species are declining and what management strategies we can employ for these birds that live close to people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Roach, a senior <a href=\"\/biology\/\">biology<\/a> student from St. Petersburg, Florida, assisted Forys with the AFDP when she was awarded $6,000 to study nest disturbances in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Fort De Soto Park, there weren\u2019t a lot of disturbances because most of the nests were in the park\u2019s protected area,\u201d Joshua said. \u201cWe went in the early mornings and did observe that things like planes or boats sometimes disturbed the birds, but the biggest problem was people who were walking in the protected area where they shouldn\u2019t have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joshua\u2014who had no ornithology experience before his mentor, Forys, hired him to work on her projects\u2014said the experience has pushed him to pursue a graduate degree in the field in conservation biology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project really helps us learn about their survival,\u201d he added. \u201cKnowing what the problems are helps us further tackle those problems by using data.
