About David Tilson
I am a longtime lover of wetland ecosystems. Previous research has focused on secretive marshbirds – population assessments and technological applications for studying these cryptic species. However, in 2023, I made a transition to the uplands as a research coordinator conducting outcomes assessments on private lands under the Working Lands for Wildlife's (WLFW) Northern Bobwhite, Grasslands, and Savannas Framework. My hobbies include just about the entire gamut of outdoor recreational activities, but in particular, I enjoy birding, gardening, and kayaking.

Graduate Research AssistantThe University Of Georgia Aug 2019 - Dec 2022Athens, Georgia, United States Captured, banded, transmittered, and collected morphological data from King, Virginia, and Black Rails. Deployed the first ever multilateration-based automated radio-telemetry system (ARTS) to be applied to these species. Researched methods and applications of ARTS to marshbird research. Developed a computer-automated classifier, using the Animal Sound Identifier (ASI) framework, for the identification of Black Rail vocalizations within audio files collected by autonomous recording units (ARUs). Trained and supervised 2 field technicians over two 6-month field seasons.
