Join us for a wonderful Program.
From 6:30-7:00, a social gathering with snacks, and the presentation begins at 7:00.

Colleen Wisinski serves the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance as a Conservation Program
Specialist in Recovery Ecology. In this role, she has worked with golden eagles
and cactus wrens and is currently the field team leader for the burrowing owl program.
She is interested in conservation biology, population dynamics, and habitat use of birds.
Colleen’s main research focus is the ecology and conservation of burrowing owls in
Southern California, particularly the breeding population of burrowing owls in San
Diego County. She is responsible for overseeing the field team, managing and analyzing
the data, and working with colleagues to make recommendations about management of
the species to local land and wildlife managers. Using direct observations, camera traps,
GPS transmitters, and color banding, she and the team are learning about survival,
reproduction, and movement of the owls in the region. One of Colleen’s favorite parts of
the project is capturing, banding, and blood-sampling the owls for genetic analysis.

The location is the Remington Club II in Rancho Bernardo:
