Shade Coffee Site in Ethiopia (IMAGE)
Caption
Coffea arabica shrubs grow beneath a canopy of trees at a University of Utah study site in southwest Ethiopia. For three annual dry seasons, biologists from the University of Utah and other institutions netted and released birds in such 'shade coffee' farms and in nearby forests. They found that shade coffee farms in Ethiopia -- where Arabica coffee originated -- are good environments for most birds, but that forests are better for some species.
