Boreal Owl, St. Louis County, MN

Rounded out 2024 with a lifer: Williamson’s Sapsucker. I feel so grateful to have seen 343 species this year. I’ve seen so many amazing birds and met so many amazing people this year. Truly grateful for nature and for the birding community today.

Celebrating the first snow of the year with a lifer: a northern saw whet owl! Been chasing this one for a month and half

Got this shot of a late Hooded Merganser Drake while up in Grand Forks for a conference!

It’s an amazing day to be doing CWD testing! I even got to hold a moose head

Exciting day delivering my very first poster presentation on the results of my landscape genomics simulations

I’m currently looking for graduate positions for Fall 2025! I am broadly interested in anthropogenic impacts on wildlife movement and connectivity. I have experience in #GIS, #rstats, and #bioinformatics. Feel free to contact me with information about opportunities!
