Dr. Rebecca McCabe, Biologist, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary
–
In 2014, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary launched a full annual cycle study of the Broad-winged Hawk. Almost a decade later, Sanctuary biologists are continuing to uncover the mysteries of this long-distance migrant. Join Rebecca McCabe as she explains how Hawk Mountain is helping to conserve Broad-winged Hawks throughout their range, from monitoring nests in the northeast to attaching tiny GPS devices to track them as they migrate between North and South America.
Rebecca received her B.S. in Environmental Biology at Millersville University (2013), and then earned her M.S. in Biology at East Stroudsburg University (2016) studying the nesting behavior of broad-winged hawks in Pennsylvania. In December 2021, Rebecca defended her Ph.D. research at McGill University studying snowy owl ecology and survival rate in winter. Rebecca joined the staff full time at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in May 2021, serving as one of the Sanctuary’s biologists. She continues researching broad-winged hawks and snowy owls and is involved in the Sanctuary’s long-term American kestrel project. She also assists with other various aspects of conservation science, including the international trainee program, advising undergraduate and graduate students and science-education outreach.
