2019 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Joshua Driscoll is an undergraduate student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Driscoll’s research will utilize GPS trackers to monitor the migratory path of the eastern whip-poor-will, identifying where the species spends the winter. The winter habitat will then be compared to the breeding grounds using ArcGIS. This information will help identify speci c habitat requirements needed for whip-poor-wills so that conservation management plans can be established.
