“I’m an ecologist focused on birds, where they go, and why they go there. Most of my current work takes place in Amazonia.”
Welcome to my website! Here I strive to showcase my career as an ecologist. I first wanted to label it a personal website, but it really is not — most of my work is collaborative, as evidenced by the coauthors on my papers. Hence the “dot org”. However, I still present some personal material here, such as gratuitous photos and videos that nonetheless come with the work I do. Hopefully they signal that I greatly enjoy this stuff — gaining new knowledge about nature (especially birds) while playing outside.
