Today's storyteller is Logan Kline! Logan is a master's student at the University of Maine studying nesting birds using drones! She is using drones to find nests of colonial nesting seabirds on islands in Maine, and training AI to interpret the images. It's really just so cool! I studied shorebirds for my master's, and have a special place in my bird loving heart for these birds, and that's how I originally started following Logan on Twitter. And add in the amazingly cool drone technology that we have now and it's just really cool the research that's possible now, and I find this transition period we're in to be fascinating (which we talk about). We also talk about using drones safely and ethically, the training one should have to use drones around wildlife and to get a drone pilot's license, birdwatching and gate keeping, and what's next for Logan. Enjoy!
You can find Logan on Twitter @latlonglogan and on her website.
