Kathryn’s work focuses on establishing a long-term study, the Boulder Chickadee Study, as an experimental framework. She constructs hundreds of nest boxes alongside numerous undergraduates and lab mates, affix these boxes to Ponderosas, Spruces, Firs & Aspen throughout Boulder backyards, and then monitor the chickadee families that move in.
