Dustin joined BRI full time in 2007, surveying loons in the Rangeley Lakes region. Since then, he has worked on projects for every department within the organization and has developed skills and techniques for capturing and sampling several species of aquatic and terrestrial fauna.

Dustin’s research priorities split between the waterfowl and mammal programs. During the winter months, his work focuses on using satellite telemetry to study migratory movements and breeding ground delineation in various sea duck species along the Atlantic coast. As a Qualified Indiana Bat Surveyor (QIBS), Dustin spends most summers conducting mist-net and acoustic surveys for endangered Indiana bat and other species. In addition to fieldwork, Dustin handles GIS mapping and spatial analysis for several ongoing projects.
