The Flocks Project
I am the PI of the NSF BIO-LEAPS grant behind The Flocks Project, a collaborative initiative between three ornithological societies–Association of Field Ornithologists (AFO), American Ornithological Society (AOS), and Wilson Ornithological Society (WOS)–to co-create affinity groups (“Flocks”) to support different communities within ornithology.
Current Research Projects in the Lab (individual pages in development)

Dynamics of acoustic communication networks within and across species
Ecology and evolution of distraction displays in shorebirds
