Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program:
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

For my Master's thesis research, I am examining patterns of bird species composition within pre-SMCRA mineland forest and reference forest in relation to habitat structure and composition. I am also contrasting nest survival of Red-eyed Vireos breeding within mineland and reference forest. I am originally from North Carolina and attended the University of Montana for my undergraduate degree.
