I am a faculty member in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont. Since 2002, I have been working on grassland bird conservation in the Champlain Valley of Vermont and New York. My research has focused on finding conservation solutions that maintain economic viability for farmers while conserving populations of Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows. I have worked on a wide variety of bird conservation issues, from wading birds and White-crowned Pigeons in the Florida Keys, to neotropical migrants in Jamaica, to Bicknell's Thrush in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
