1999,
2005-2009
In
1999 I worked as a volunteer
in a project in the Rincon
Mountains in Arizona, studying
the effects of prescribed
burning on forest bird communities.
From
2005 through 2009 I worked
in Alaska, conducting research
for my PhD on the ecology
of King
Eiders. I used stable
isotopes and satellite telemetry
to explore breeding ecology
and migratory connectivity
of this charismatic Arctic
duck [photos
of the work]. I was also
involved in several shorebird
and songbird projects and
helped as a volunteer at the
Fairbanks banding station
of the Alaska
Bird Observatory
