If you're interested in grassland birds, droughts, and how those two things can intersect, I hope you'll read it once it comes out!

And if you aren't, you should read it anyway, maybe it'll change your mind. They're pretty cool little birds!

Note: this isn't my first publication; I have a few others from various projects.

But this is the one I started first! It just took a little while (and several rounds of review) to make it into the paper it is today. Like I said, it's been years. Happy it's finally finished!

This is the first actual research I ever did. Working on it, I learned how to write scientifically, how to come up with hypotheses and ways to test them, to interpret analyses, how to use R.

This was my introduction to being a scientist, and I'm so glad I can finally share it!
