I have 18 years of experience in the Environmental Education and Field Biologist field. I received my bird banding permit in 1998, became a certified bird bander by the North American Banding Council in the fall of 2003, currently the crew leader for a Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) station; Principal Investigator in looking at the changing butterfly fauna in Allegany State Park, NY and the status and ecology of the Northern Saw-whet Owl in Allegany State Park, NY.

I love viewing photographs of all kinds and most of my pictures are uploaded on flickr for use of my blog (see link below)!
