Biography

Janet passed away in January of 2016. Her obituary is located in her literature section below.

_____
She worked on various conservation and research projects involving raptors in California since 1983. As a member of the UC Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, she was Propagation Specialist during its captive propagation and release efforts involving Peregrine Falcons, Harris's Hawks, Aplomado Falcons, and Elf Owls, among other species. She maintained the data and produced contract and permit reports for all activities undertaken by the Group. Fieldwork included pioneering studies Peregrine Falcon nesting behavior, Bald Eagle ecology in California and Arizona for Biosystems Analysis Inc,, Peregrine Falcon manipulations and reintroductions, and California Condor tracking and provisioning through Audubon at the nadir of the remnant condor population in the 1980s.
