Projects

Here are some things that I’ve worked on that aren’t related to my research! You can also check out my GitHub Profile for some of my other recent experiments.

Optimal Big Day
A “Big Day” for birders is a day in which one tries to find as many species of birds as possible. My friend Myles and I built this web app to determine an optimal set of eBird Hotspots to visit in a given county to maximize the number of species that you could reasonably expect to see in a day.

Champlain Ice
I built a Google Earth Engine web app to explore ice coverage and historical ice-on and ice-off dates on Lake Champlain using Sentinel-1 C-band SAR imagery. Its original purpose was to help me determine locations with open water that would be ideal for winter birding. Full disclosure: the “current conditions” checkbox is useless in the summertime, but feel free to poke around if you are reading this between November and April!

Pi Birdwatching
Use a Raspberry Pi to photograph and identify birds that land on my feeder!
