The Peregrine Fund just released a new book, “Applied Raptor Ecology: Essentials from Gyrfalcon Research”. This book serves as a techniques manual geared towards providing early career researchers with information and a stepwise guide for conducting various research on raptors. This information is also supplemented by mock data, and R code to help the researcher begin to form skills in R and analysis.

Although I am the clown in orange on the cover, my true contribution is found inside the book. I contributed as an author of a chapter – Quantifying Diet; an appendix – Guidelines for Conducting a Camera Study of Nesting Raptors; and as coauthor of an appendix – A Photographic and Morphometric Guide to Aging Gyrfalcon Nestlings.
