Vancouver, Canada Area

Ecuador

Conduct avian point counts across four sites in Ecuador, from the Amazon to mid-elevation montane forest on the eastern slope of the Andes. Provide instruction to Ecuadoran biologists in how to design and conduct point count surveys for birds.

Ebolowa, South, Cameroon

Instruct Cameroonian biologists on how to design point count surveys for answering ecological questions in cacao farms, assist with conducting counts, and with statistical analyses.

Saskatchewan, Canada

Help to preserve historic data from the Saskatchewan Breeding Bird Atlas by writing code using RStudio to identify problem records and address any inconsistencies in records. Work with an undergraduate intern to ‘rescue’ hardcopy records of breeding records in the province.

Kuruman, Northern Cape, South Africa

In this role, I was principally responsible for monitoring Sociable Weaver (Philetairus socius) and Pygmy Falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) nest chambers for breeding activity. I was also tasked with banding/ringing and collecting standard morphometrics of Pygmy Falcon chicks.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

In this position, I extracted birds from mist nets, collected standard morphometrics, and banded/ringed birds (mostly passerines but some shorebirds/waders and raptors).
