Join The Sussex Bird Club to hear from one of the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)’s avian biologists, Jordan Brown, who will review some of the many research projects being conducted by the Division of Fish & Wildlife, specifically with birds of prey. Ms. Brown will discuss opportunities for members of the public to get involved with the Division’s Raptor Research Program. Volunteer opportunities include passive monitoring and data collection, active nest box building and installation, as well as opportunities to view these species up close.

Jordan Brown is the DNREC Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Raptor, Grassland, and Forest Bird Biologist. She is a Delaware native who obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware, later earning a Masters of Wildlife and Fisheries Resources from Clemson University. Ms. Brown's first wildlife research position began seven years ago with Delaware’s American Kestrel Nest Box Monitoring Program, now called the Delaware Kestrel Partnership.

The Sussex Bird Club's primary objective is to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of wild birds through guided field trips and monthly meetings about various aspects of birding. Meetings are open to all and beginning birders are always welcome.
