I am a PhD candidate at FIU. My research interests include urban ecology, biological invasions, climate change, and sustainability. I am currently studying cavity-nesting birds in
South Florida. Native woodpeckers excavate cavities in trees. We have a variety of native and exotic birds which are competing for these nest cavities, as well as man-made objects
like telephone poles. The exotic birds include 20+ species of parrots, mynas, and starlings.
Do you have a parrot, woodpecker, or other cavity nest to inspect? Are colorful creatures are breeding in your back yard? Contact me to schedule a nest video inspection!
Would you like to volunteer? I am searching for cavity nests, and monitoring birds and other creatures inside. In the Spring I will be inviting nature photographers to get a close look at breeding birds.
