My Research
Landscape habitat variables can influence wetland breeding birds’ occupancy of an area. This research examines the effects of landscape habitat variables on wetland birds in the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States.
My Research
The invasive Monk Parakeet commonly nests on electric utility structures, which can cause power outages when the nest touches energized hardware. I evaluated how Monk Parakeet distributions changed in south Florida from 2001 to 2007 to determine where current and future outages would be most likely.
My Research
My Master’s work compared two different double-observer point count methods for surveying birds. The approach where both observers worked together performed better than the approach where observers worked independently.
