Here’s an exciting way to help support grad student Halle Lambeau’s grad research on American Kestrels, while getting to own a beautiful limited edition shirt created by Emma Regnier! Shirt campaign launched today, so be sure to order yours! Here’s the update from Halle: And the link is live, folks!- I’m studying American Kestrels for my Master’s thesis at the University of Minnesota Duluth. My project combines data from 475 nest boxes in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and I’m hoping to learn more about how diet, temperature, and landscape conditions vary across my sites, and what this might have to do with kestrel breeding success! This has been a huge effort, and I’ve decided to run a fundraising campaign to help cover the costs of data analysis, equipment, and mileage for my large-scale project.-If you are interested in helping out with my project, please head to my Bonfire store and purchase some awesome kestrel merch! -If you’re not able to contribute financially, please feel free to share this post with your friends! Truly anything helps, and I can’t thank you enough for your support 😊-Fundraising goal: $2,000-The campaign will close July 12th and colors/sizes may sell out, so make sure you get your merch soon! www.bonfire.com/upper-midwest-kestrel-project/-This project is a big, collaborative effort with assistance from Frank Nicoletti and Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory as well as nest box programs by the great folks at Friends of Sax-Zim Bog, Madison Audubon, Central Wisconsin Kestrel Research, Beaver Creek Reserve, and Cedar Grove Ornithological Research Station. -This gorgeous t-shirt design was created by my good friend and incredible artist Emma Regnier.
