On this #TakeoverTuesday we would like to introduce you to Emily Sandly, one of our Naturalists at Hawk Ridge! “Hi! My favorite part of being a naturalist at HRBO is sharing the magic of migration and raptors with students and the public, getting to volunteer at songbird and owl banding, and making new friends with other staff.One bird I wanted to add to my life list was a Rough-legged Hawk! We saw the first RLHA of the season on 10/8! After the fall season, I hope to find winter fieldwork, and continue working seasonally. Eventually, I’m hoping to acquire a master’s degree.I have worked several positions since graduating in 2020 with a Bachelor’s in Wildlife Biology, including hawk counting and visitor services for Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, and as a research assistant for Project Puffin. In my free time, I enjoy fishing, hiking, and camping!” ... See MoreSee Less
