Profile:
I am a young ornithologist living and birding in Pennsylvania. I am pursuing a master's degree at Penn State University studying grassland birds and their relationships with different agricultural practices. When I am not working feverishly on my thesis, I enjoy adding new birds to my county, state and life lists, digiscoping and getting outdoors. I am active in the Pennsylvania birding community as a member of the bird records committee, as well as a reviewer for sightings submitted to eBird.org in central and southeastern PA. Some topics that really interest me are migration, bird distributions and vagrancy. Contact me if you have any questions about birds and birding in PA.

Justin Bosler

Profile:
Justin is a birding friend and fellow Pennsylvanian, who spent a number of years birding in Louisiana while studying as an undergraduate at Louisiana State University. Since graduating in 2007, his lifestyle has molded into that of a bird bum as he's traveled around the U.S. and Canada to assist with various avian research projects and monitor bird populations. He spent most of 2011 in Louisiana as a field biologist working for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in response to the MC252 Oil Spill. He's currently looking for his next field job adventure while beginning his search for a fitting graduate program. You can see some of his photography on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jboslerbirds/

Andy McGann

Profile:
Birding since the young age of 10, Andy has now finished his graduate studies at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, with an M.S. in biology and a thesis on overwintering Rusty Blackbirds. While getting his B.S. at Villanova in Biology and Env. Studies, Andy worked several years on the field crew for the PA Breeding Bird Atlas as well as doing goshawk surveys in Idaho. Andy was also the first intern at the Ned Smith Center in 2007, banding saw-whet owls during that huge irruption year. A top-notch birder, he once placed second in the World Series of Birding with several other members of the Breeding Bird Atlas crew.

Mike Lanzone

Profile:
Mike started birding when he was 8, and has worked as a field ornithologist for various state, federal, and private organizations across the United States and Mexico. Recently he was the Assistant Coordinator for the 2nd Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas and the Biotechnology and Biomonitoring Lab Supervisor stationed at Powdermill, the biological research station of Carnegie Museum of Natural History. In the spring of 2011 he was awarded the Conservation Award from the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology for the work done on eastern Golden Eagles. Currently, Mike is the Chief Executive Officer of Cellular Tracking Technologies in Somerset, PA. His major foci include Golden Eagle flight behavior and telemetry and nocturnal monitoring of birds using flight calls. A lot of his work recently has focused on advances in the application of bioacoustics to the monitoring of geographically remote breeding populations of songbirds in North America and, hopefully, around the world. When he isn’t working he spends much of his time outside birding, photography and gardening.
