Areas of Academic Interest
Within the broad area of avian ecology, I undertake research primarily focused on colonial nesting waterbirds. In freshwater environments, I conduct field-based studies on the ecology and management of waterbirds, specifically, double-crested cormorants, black-crowned night herons and common terns. In collaboration with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, I have a long-term monitoring program at Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto, where one of the largest colony of double-crested cormorants in North America resides.
