Cornell Experimental Research Ponds

Mt. Pleasant, Ithaca, NY
There are some tree swallow boxes placed in agricultural fields near campus. Part of the site has a commanding view of Cayuga Lake and was a wonderful place to end the research day as the sun was setting.

Belmont Research Park, Lower Hutt, New Zealand
My starling research site. The birds breed in ventilation holes in the concrete bunker, such as the one at the base of the hill. The site is a working sheep farm and was an odd place: a mix of stunning beauty and harsh brutality.

Ft. Loudon Lake, Tennessee River
Lenoir City, TN. 2001-2 Field Seasons
Here the birds were breeding in boxes placed along TVA reservoirs. This was an amazing spot with a view of the Smokies in the distance. There was also a swimming spot near the site and a BBQ restaraunt. What more could you want really...

Johnson Circle Field Site
Clinch River, TN
To get a better sample size, I also studied swallows breeding in this "neighborhood" field along the Clinch. The big sky at this site was a pleasure.

Galbreath Residence
Tennessee River
I also worked with some birds breeding in people's yards (after a plea in the newspaper). This house here was the finest tree swallow producing residence you could imagine, within this small property was 7 breeding pairs.

Insect sampler
Tellico Dam
Little Tennessee River
The insect samplers need power, so I eventually set them up here on top of the Tellico Dam and on top of Ft. Loudon Dam (where the kind folks at TVA ran an extension cord out of a window for me!)

Creamer's Field State Game Refuge
Fairbanks, AK
2002 Field Season. The main research site for Alaska. A few hundred boxes were sprinkled among this refuge set up for migrating sandhill cranes and geese. A beautiful place right in Fairbanks with plenty of mosquitos.

Hay Way, Fairbanks, AK
I set up a couple of other sites. This was in some local hay fields. There were also boxes at the UAK-Fairbanks as well.
