Since joining Albion in 2008, Sandra Menzel has monitored bird activity at San Jose International Airport including implementing the airport's burrowing owl management plan, which includes regular surveys for burrowing owls throughout the year, as well as installation and maintenance of artificial nest burrows. She has also surveyed for burrowing owls at Camp Parks Reserve Forces Training Area in Dublin, CA, at Sharpe Depot Defense Distribution Depot in Stockton, CA, as well as along the South Bay Aqueduct and PG&E transmission line corridors.
Sandra has conducted biological monitoring at a construction site for the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Species of concern at this site included the red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, and nesting migratory birds.
Sandra received her B.A. in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz in 2006 and has worked on various wildlife projects since her senior year. She is well versed in field techniques such as behavioral observations, raptor nest surveys, presence/absence surveys, point counts, radio-telemetry, and reintroduction of raptors into the wild.
