work situations he used to monitor these highly mobile and unpredictable predatory birds throughout

consecutive years.

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in 2002.  He earned a Bachelor degree in biology at the Université de

Sherbrooke, Canada, 2003 and has a Ph.D. degree in biology from Université Laval, Canada.  He joined
