Lizzi is currently an National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in Dr. Matt Johnson's Habitat Ecology Lab at Cal Poly Humboldt continuing this long-term project. Lizzi also works as a wildlife biologist for Dudek, an employee-owned environmental consulting firm. 
She is extremely active in her community and contributes to long-term monitoring in the area in a variety of ways including volunteering at the Humboldt Bay Bird Observatory, the California Bumble Bee Atlas, and leading birding trips with the Redwood Region Audubon Society. During the hunting season, she can be found in the woods/mud hunting for birds with her fiancé and three dogs. 

Chris is has worked on the Swainson's Hawk project since 2013.  This project was the focus of his master's and dissertation research. Vennum is a quantitative ecologist working to understand and help mitigate anthropogenic effects on wildlife, particularly birds of prey. Using demographic and spatial models he helps identify population concerns and generate tools for conservation. Under this broad theme, his past work involved working in agricultural environments examining how modern agriculture either supports or limits populations, and toxicology issues (i.e., lead, pesticides) - all common issues associated with working lands. He recently expanded his research into the movement ecology of large African raptors and potential interactions with renewable energy infrastructure, adding a new dimension of anthropogenic effects studied.
 

Briggs completed his master's and PhD on this project. Chris is an ornithologist with broad interests in the ecology and evolution of avian systems, particularly from population perspectives. His research tries to understand plumage diversity, especially in raptors. In addition, he is interested in how human landscapes affect bird populations. Chris has worked throughout his career to include people from across diverse backgrounds in science – from data collection in the field to scientific publication.  
 

Brian led this project for many years through shear will and determination.  Brian's work was critical to discovering, and subsequent mitigation, of massive pesticide poisonings of Swainson's Hawks in Argentina.  He continues to provide advice, expertise, and even field assistance as his schedule allows.  

Mike helped oversee this project since 2004 served on both Chris Briggs' and Chris Vennum's graduate committees.
