I mostly study hummingbirds, but this photo is from field work on Great Gray owl in Manitoba in February. -30 degree weather makes for great Beardsicles. We were studying how Great Gray owl hunts through snow.Post-doc

Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow
Nadje studies hummingbird genomics, flight, and migration. She got her Ph.D. at the University of North Colorado under Dr. Lauryn Benedict, studying rock wren song and migration. Now she's helping us with the genomics of Allen's & Rufous Hummingbird courtship displays, and she's hoping to find the genes for migration in Allen's Hummingbirds.
