I will be working as a research assistant for Kenneth Schmidt through Texas Tech University. We will be avian conducting research at the Institute for Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. It will be focused on ovenbirds and veeries in terms of behavioral ecology in oak dominated forests in the region. Duties will include mist-netting and color banding individuals, nest searching and gathering observational data on the banded birds throughout the summer, as well as the possibility of recording veery songs for future use in research.
