After working with the British Trust for Ornithology for 10 years, Andy came to the US to attend graduate school at Penn State, where he earned a PhD in Ecology. He was the data analyst and lead editor of the 2nd Atlas of Breeding Birds in Pennsylvania and has helped data analysis for the Ohio and West Virginia bird atlases.
