About the Presentation
Teton Raptor Center’s research team and dedicated conservation volunteers spend countless hours studying raptors across the forest, sagebrush and grassland communities of Wyoming. Their collaborative research on migration ecology also includes fieldwork in Montana, and several of the study species have migratory routes that extend north to Alaska and Northern Canada and south to Central America and the Caribbean. TRC collaborates with fellow researchers from other non-profit organizations, as well as state and federal agency biologists and local land managers to ensure long-standing conservation for raptors. The TRC research team also innovates, creating the technologies they need to study these amazing animals. Teton Raptor Center has developed SoundScout Automated Recording Units which are used by research teams across the country to collect important data for wildlife studies, with proceeds supporting TRC’s research and conservation programs. Conservation Director Dr. Bryan Bedrosian will review highlights of Teton Raptor Center's primary areas of research including Bioacoustics, Population Ecology, Genetics and Lead Research, and Habitat Mapping over the past 20 years.
About the Presenter
Bryan Bedrosian has been studying raptors in Jackson Hole and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for the past two decades. He completed his master’s degree from Arkansas State University studying Common Raven ecology in Jackson Hole and Red-tailed Hawks wintering in Arkansas. Bryan has continued and expanded his management-based research with dozens of projects across Wyoming and Montana, focusing on raptors and sage-grouse. His current work involves many on-going projects on spatial ecology, habitat use, bioacoustics, genetics, and conservation planning. He enjoys tinkering with engineering projects and has developed several new wildlife traps, GPS tracking transmitters, and automated recording systems. Bryan has served as the president of the Wyoming Chapter of The Wildlife Society and co-chair of the Wyoming Golden Eagle Working Group. He has aided and worked with many researchers and projects across North America and Europe and believes that collaborations are the key to successful wildlife science and conservation. Bryan lives in Jackson with his wife, Emily, and his son Oliver and daughter Alice.
