Going back to the East coast from our short / long week in Texas surveying in the heat – it feels good to be back familiar temperatures. The heat of D.C. is more bearable than working out in the field in San Antonio. Back in...
For this blog post I wanted to share something that I learned in combination with sharing about the person who taught me what I have learned. She is one of the most influential persons I have had the honor to work and intern with. She...
While bird conservation through science communication has been a large part of my job, I have also had the opportunity to participate in ongoing projects around the park. The Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center is very conservation minded, so they wanted to “bird proof” one...
