A couple weeks ago, a reporter from Grand Rapids, MI did a nice story about some of my research involving an attempt to attract marsh birds to appropriate habitat. Taking part in the interview was a nice reminder of a lot of hard work that feels good to look back on. I had to get the funds, do the field work over multiple years (including lugging heavy equipment through the marsh by hand), analyze the data, and produce an end product that will hopefully help with conservation efforts. It is nice to be able to share some of this research, which a lot of people (including my dad!) contributed to.
Here is a link to the story. There are both written and video components:
