Thesis

The United States Forest Service is interested in where American Goshawks (Astur atricapillus) are nesting within their boundaries as they are indicators of old growth/mature forests due to site selection preferences, informing them of where they can conduct forestry operations for timber and wildlife management. We are building a predictive model to more efficiently identify potential goshawk habitat minimizing search time in the field due to the elusive nature of goshawks.
