General Research Interests

I study the behaviour, reproduction and ecology of birds. Much of my work focuses on factors that determine the reproductive success of individuals such as predation risk, food supply, and habitat/ nest site selection. I am especially interested in incubation and hatching patterns, and sex roles during reproduction

My main focus is a long-term study of Northern Flickers but I have recently initiated a project on parental care using Bluebirds and Tree Swallows as models

• when you're not watching birds for work, you can watch them for pleasure! Here is a site about birding in Canada.
• I am interested in the art and language of the Lakota and Haida First Nations and am compiling an English/Lakota dictionary of biological terms. See some of my art creations, but please do not copy images on this webpage without my permission.
