Research Interests
My research interests lie at the interface between avian ecology and applied conservation biology. I’m most interested in how species exist in dynamic landscapes such as fire-prone ecosystems, and along seasonal passages such as trans-continental migration. Migration carries with it many perils while clearly also providing unparalleled benefits; the balance of such tradeoffs is likely influenced by the quality of stopover habitat en route. My current research aims to quantify such stopover habitat using remotely sensed NEXRAD weather radar and to develop spatial models of stopover habitat for the Southeastern region of the United States. Ultimately this research will provide guidance to conservation entities in order to identify and protect important bird areas.
In my spare time I manage a website where I attempt to forecast birding conditions in the Upper Midwest and Mid Atlantic regions using radar and weather data. Come visit me over at www.woodcreeper.com and watch the action unfold before your eyes!
Personal Interests
When I’m not working I enjoy being outdoors with my wife and two daughters, hiking, camping, and watching birds.

Vi-Tel wireless was created in 2010 by a couple of men named
Scott Rogers and James Pearson. As such the Model 2500 transmitter
can connect to newer plasma TVs, most of which no longer have analog audio outputs.
s better to prevent putting the wireless access points or wireless Routers near such devices
and better to choose frequency bands which are different than the ones used by the cordless telephone,
also the Wireless Networks affected by some kind of materials
such as foils, hence all of the mentioned devices and materials would make an attenuation to the
Wireless Networking signals and will reduce or might block the
signal.
