Biography
I'm an ornithologist interested in studying the factors that influence survival in birds during migration and the non-breeding season. I completed my PhD at the University of Vermont with the Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. I'm currently the project leader for Project FeederWatch at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Project FeederWatch is a long-term study of the abundance and distribution of birds in winter in the United States and Canada.
