(updated Sept. 2024)

Award-winning nature writer and photographer, Todd Pusser, wrote an article about my king rail research at Mackay Island NWR for Wildlife in North Carolina magazine. It was a blast to have Todd tag along for our fieldwork on the refuge! Click the image here to view a PDF of the article.

Our paper on automated detection of king rails was covered by The Wildlife Society in May 2020! Click on the image below to read the article!
