It's Day One of #BlackBirdersWeek! The first ever week dedicated to visibility, awareness, and dialogue. We're kicking it off by celebrating our love of the outdoors and being #BlackInNature. Use that hashtag to share yours!

Now, allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Lauren, and I am a current Masters Student at North Carolina State University pursuing my degree in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology.

I am a Wildlife, Biologist, Ornithologist, and a practicing Science Communicator. I am currently researching Urban Effects on Avian Populations and Avain Morphology.

I obtain a Bird Banding Sub Permit and I love to Mist Net and study birds up close and personal!
