Zero528

Conducting Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) demography studies as a biological wildlife technician with the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station near Cloudcroft, NM on the Lincoln National Forest/Sacramento Mountains.

I am passionate about running. Big smiles here having just completed the Polar Dash 10K in St. Paul, MN. Details: 44:07, 6th overall, and 1st in my age bracket on 01/01/17. Pace and finish time were slowed due to pulling left calf muscle during the race AND cold temps (20°) and icy road conditions. Thanks Brooks running shoes and apparel. Adventure Awaits!

Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), populations have experienced distribution-wide declines in excess of 82% from 1966-2012. This population decline may have considerable conservation implications because a strong association exits between the presences of bobwhites and other grassland and shrubland bird species, many of which are species of concern.
