I completed my most recent field work recording Mourning Warblers in 2019. I am currently conducting several research projects in my retirement: temporal change in song of the Mourning Warbler, using song to study migratory connectivity in the Mourning Warbler, Birds of the World accounts for the Connecticut and MacGillivray’s Warblers.

On Vacation 2009 - California Part 2
Kris and I just returned from a hike through the Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve. We went on the Pioneer, East Ridge and Pool Ridge trails for a 5 mile hike.
The trails take you through the bottomlands that are filled with enormous Redwood trees. I am here with the most famous tree in the reserve - the Colonel Armstrong that is more than 1400 years old.
There is little or no ground cover with ferns and oxtails that give it a pre-historic feel. The birding highlights included more western species like the Steller’s Jay and Chestnut-backed Chickadee.
