I study wading birds in South Florida.
I don't quite have a typical work day. Some days I spend all day out in the field doing radio telemetry and locating and observing birds. Other days I spend all day writing proposals for grants and doing GIS analysis. It's always different, and I love it that way!
Here's the first step for high school students
Go to college. Study Biology or Natural Resources or Environmental Sciences.
