Congratulations to our 2025 Kendeigh Grant awardees! This year’s funded projects will study how blood metabolites reflect migration strategies and body condition of birds, nocturnal migratory bird use of urban habitats in Chicago, and whether noise from highways interferes with male Red-winged Blackbird provisioning for nestlings.

Congratulations to our 2024 Kendeigh Grant awardees! This year’s funded projects will study how predators affect grassland birds, the health and winter ecology of Eastern Whip-poor-wills, and whether migratory American Robins are a source of West Nile Virus to non-migratory robins.

Congratulations to our 2023 Kendeigh Grant awardees! This year’s funded projects will study why only some female House Wrens lay two clutches of eggs in a season and how prescribed burns affect nest predation by snakes.

Congratulations to our 2022 Kendeigh Grant awardees! This year’s funded projects will study children’s nature values, whip-poor-will fledgling survival and habitat use, and habitat preferences of migratory grassland birds.
