Dr. Gary Ivey – Sandhill Cranes of the Pacific Flyway

Dr. Gary Ivey will talk about the sandhill crane populations that breed and stage in Washington State and the broader Pacific Flyway. He will discuss the status, biology, life history, migration routes, wintering areas, and breeding areas of the three subspecies found in the state.

Dr. Ivey works for the International Crane Foundation as a Research Associate, focusing his work on western sandhill cranes. He studied the nesting ecology of Sandhill cranes for his master’s thesis and the wintering ecology of Sandhill cranes for his Ph.D., both at Oregon State University. He also currently serves as the president of The Trumpeter Swan Society and is working on conservation of cranes, swans, and other waterbirds in western North America.
