Acoustic monitoring that answers species questions
Continuous listening that digitizes the sound of a property — then translates calling into actionable insights: where activity concentrates, what’s changing, and what to do next for bobwhite, turkey, grouse, and the wider bird community.

Habitat teaching that turns insight into action
I teach habitat so people can act on acoustic and research insights — and monitor whether management worked. Past Extension track record; acoustics is the current focus.

What people say
“Luke has been crucial to helping me with both of my farms — to build better habitat. The programs are full of details and to the point… They work!”
“The wildlife management sessions… about quail management are wonderfully helpful. I came away with a bunch of new ideas about how to better bring back quail to our farm on the Eastern Shore.”
“Luke has done a phenomenal job of bringing land managers of all stripes together to share words of wisdom. I am very grateful for the prescribed fire, grassland bird habitat, and other great knowledge sharing.”
