Tara Imlay
Tara Imlay’s work with Wildlife Preservation Canada began in 2008, when she was contracted to study the behaviour and movements of eastern loggerhead shrikes released from our conservation breeding program. The following year, she became our 20th Canada’s New Noah and conducted research on kestrel productivity and breeding success during her time in Mauritius. Her experience with birds continued in 2010 and 2011, when Virginia Tech hired her to document the potential impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on overwintering populations of piping plovers. In 2011, Tara returned to work for Wildlife Preservation Canada as a species recovery biologist, coordinating the Eastern Loggerhead Shrike Recovery Program.
Today, Tara is a PhD candidate with Dalhousie University, conducting field research into the causes of rapid population declines of swallows in the Maritimes. Tara holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of Guelph and a Master of Science in Biology from Acadia University.
