Prof Kevin McGowan, Ornithology, loves his job. He teaches multiple distance-learning courses in bird behavior and ornithology and studies local populations of American Crows. He also knows exactly which bird species you should keep an eye out for as you brave the cold temperatures on your walk to class this winter.
