Lincoln Park Zoo- Urban Wildlife Institute Fellowship

A Blog by Cecilia G. Shoopmann

Hi there! Welcome to my blog! This summer, I'll be working at the Lincoln Park Zoo in the Urban Wildlife Institute. I'll assist in monitoring the zoo's Black-Crowned Night Heron population. Additionally, I’m going to be comparing data actively collected as a part of the Citizen Science Bat Monitoring Program using the Echo Meter Touch Pro with iPad with data collected passively using the Wildlife Acoustic SM2BAT monitors used at Nature Boardwalk. I’m looking to test how comparable these methods are at capturing bat diversity using data from 2018-2019.
