My current research involves studies of breeding birds in salt marshes (mostly saltmarsh sharp-tailed and seaside sparrows, but also other species), studies of birds in agricultural settings (mostly waterbirds in rice, but also other taxa in other crops), and studies of waterbirds of conservation interest. Current projects include work on birds in Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, California and the Great Plains.
