NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS Show: Boreal Songbirds Log of DAT #: 6 Engineer: Marcia Caldwell Date: June 8, 2003 0:06 Ambi. Loud birds chattering. 0:09 Alright, Sunday morning¿we¿re about ready to start the same set up MKH40, I¿m sorry MKH50 and 30 combination. 0:27 EA: Have you slated? You¿re ok? 0:28 MC: Yes, I¿m fine. 0:29 EA: Well let¿s just¿you¿re good? 0:32 MC: Almost¿Are we doing an interview or sounds gathering? 0:34 EA: No, we are talking. 0:35 MC: Ok good. 0:36 EA: Ok, ok¿are we good? 0:38 MC: Yeah. Fiona Schmiegelow Interview 0:39 EA: Let¿s just first orient ourselves and tell me where we are. Where are we? 0:46 FS: We are at a Calling Lake Alberta, which is a lake, or this area is at the southern edge of the Boreal Forest in Alberta. Didn¿t used to be the southern edge actually, but it¿s about the southern edge now. So, we¿re sort of mid-central Alberta. We¿re at 55 degrees latitude for what that means to people, in Canada. 1:07 EA: And specifically right here? 1:09 FS: Specifically right here we¿re standing in one of the areas that is adjacent to a number of study plots that we¿ve been sampling for the last 11 years as a part of a large experimental study that is looking at the effects of habitat loss and of fragmentation on Boreal songbirds. 1:24 EA: And how long has that been going on? 1:26 FS: It¿s been going on for eleven years. This is the 10th year after harvesting in the area, so it¿s the tenth year post experiment so that¿ 1:35 Ambi. Talking about FS messing with her hat and creating bad noises. 1:49 EA: Tell me who you are. Who are you? 1:52 FS: Who am I? 1:53 EA: What¿s your name? 1:53 FS: Fiona Schmiegelow. I¿m a professor at the university of Alberta. 1:57 EA: And how long have you been connected with this place? 2:00 FS: I¿ve been connected with this place since 1991, which is when I first came up here, and at that time I was just starting my PhD work and I had been interested in fragmentation issues for a long time. I had worked in eastern Canada on fragmentation, forest fragmentation, but in the agricultural setting. But when I started my PhD work, I was interesting in furthering some of those things, looking at birds and fragmentation issues and I actually considered working in northern Ontario in Tomogamy because there was a lot of controversy then around the loss of old growth Red and White Pine and then I was interested in working in coastal BC around the Clayoquot Sound area and then learned about Boreal issues and came up here to check things out and ended up settling on this study area and I¿ve been up here ever since. 2:46 EA: What does fragmentation mean? 2:48 FS: Fragmentation is about breaking apart habitat. That¿s a really basic description. With fragmentation you also have habitat loss. People are being really careful to distinguish the two now because they have different affects on animals and plants, but essentially what it mean, when you harvest an area, when you convert an area for different land use practices, you break up what was formerly continuous habitat into smaller pieces. 3:15 EA: Which can be just as¿well, can have just as much effects as loss? 3:22 FS: Yes. Loss, people are thinking is sort of the larger initial issue, but once you start ... (Notes truncated)
