I conducted research on bird species at risk in the boreal forest. This involved collecting spatial and descriptive data about nest sites and bird locations as well as conducting avian point counts to identify all species of breeding birds in the community. This work was performed with one or more colleagues, depending on the day. We camped for three weeks.

Gatineau, Quebec

I modelled habitat relationships for a rare species of moss in south-western Ontario using presence and absence locations. I incorporated provincial and federal land cover, soil, and elevation datasets into models to determine the habitat variables that best explained the distribution of moss and to produce a raster map of habitat suitability. I summarized.

Monterey, California

I monitored Snowy Plover productivity and survival at a wildlife refuge and a commercial sand-mining plant, following a rigorous protocol for data collection, data entry, and data verification. This involved finding nests, identifying nest owners, floating eggs, checking eggs for signs of hatching, assisting with banding of chicks, and monitoring chicks.

Ottawa, Canada Area

Helped write clear and concise website content about 35 Canadian bird monitoring programs (https://ec.gc.ca/reom-mbs/default.asp?lang=En&n=3A96F598-1) and corresponded effectively with the stakeholders in these programs to ensure the website content was accurate. As assistant to the Canadian coordinator of the Breeding Bird Survey, I entered stop.

Arcata, California

I surveyed beach and gravel-bar habitats on foot and with kayaks for Snowy Plover nests, scrapes, adults, and chicks during three field seasons. I recorded nest and bird locations with a GPS-enabled handheld computer. I helped train incoming Master’s students and undergraduate assistants on the monitoring and data submission protocols. At the end of two.

Buldir Island, Alaska

I re-sighted colour-marked Least and Crested Auklets from a blind on a remote island. This involved living on a remote island and traveling to the island on a research vessel for several days at sea. We made colour bands from Darvic plastic and maintained noose carpets. We extracted the two auklet species from noose carpets for banding and.
