Biographical Summary of the Report Writer

Debra Badzinski is presently employed as Bird Population Biologist with Bird Studies Canada (BSC) – a non-profit institution dedicated to the research, monitoring, and conservation of Canada’s birds. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolution in 1996 and obtained her M.Sc. from Trent University in 2000. Her M.Sc. research focused on the population dynamics of Semipalmated Plovers (Charadrius semipalmatus) breeding at Churchill, Manitoba. Debra has been with Bird Studies Canada since 1999 where she coordinates a variety of volunteer-based surveys including National Nocturnal Owl Survey, and the Red-shouldered Hawk and Spring Woodpecker Survey. She also works on a variety of programs which focus on birds at risk, including Hooded Warblers, Barn Owls, Short-eared Owls, and the provincially Endangered Bald Eagle.
