Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

My research project is exploring the question if being near an organic alfalfa field is beneficial for Swainson hawk nest success rate and number of fledglings produced per nest per year over the past 5 years. My project is taking advantage of historical nesting data in the Butte Valley, CA area to explore this question.
