So excited to share this weeks @MOGameKeepers podcast where @mark_wildlife1 and I sat down with the the Mossy Oak crew to discuss all things bobwhite. Check it out!
This week on the Gamekeepers podcast we have Dr. Mark McConnell of Mississippi State University and grad student Olivia Lappin sitting between the turkeys and talking wild bobwhite quail. mossyoakgamekeeper.com/podca…
My first first-author paper is live! We studied breeding season roost site selection of northern bobwhite and provide further evidence of the importance of proper habitat management for bobwhite population persistence.
Didn't fly back to Mississippi to walk at graduation but today I get to call myself an official Master of Science 🐾🐤
Such a fun day constructing bluebird boxes with a group of students from 5 different rural schools in SD. It's not everyday young students get to work with hammers and nails in school to build something for the birds!

Black Hills South Dakota, here I come! Though I don't *technically* graduate until Spring, I will be starting a new job as a Private Lands Wildlife Biologist after the holidays! Excited for what the future holds! @mark_wildlife1 @PrairieWildlife

We are proud to introduce the Central Grasslands Assessment Map.
This map will help guide the improvement and health of our grasslands from degraded and fragmented to thriving, productive lands for both people and wildlife.
