I'm a wildlife biologist. Background in high arctic shorebirds, particularly the Purple Sandpiper (see BNA species account I co-wrote) and Dunlin in Svalbard, while working on post-graduate degrees.

Professional experience includes wildlife management of Mountain Yellow-legged Frog, wildlife surveys of California Gnatcatcher on Camp Pendleton, avian surveys in the most arid part of the Sonoran Desert, natural resource management in central Montana, and wildlife management in north-central Nevada.
