My first and most enduring love, however, is birds. I did my master's thesis and dissertation work on breeding ecology and behavior (extra-pair paternity) of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. #Tyrannus #STFL #ecology #behavior

Trying Mastadon out, I guess! In case you don't know me, I am an Oklahoman transplant into South Dakota. I study bird and insect reproduction, behavior, and ecology. I am currently dabbling in plant biology as part of my post-doc at South Dakota State University. I love teaching, research, and connecting with people! #STFL #biology #bird #insect #Silene #Hadena #Pogonomyrmex #Tyrannus
