Ty Sharrow conducted research on American Kestrels in the row-crop agricultural landscape of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley in northeast Arkansas. His work focused on how nest box characteristics and surrounding habitat features influence kestrel nest box use for both nesting and winter roosting, as well as factors affecting nest success. He also investigated how the presence of nesting kestrels impacts local rodent, bird, and insect communities, exploring their role in regulating agricultural pest species.

Ty is originally from northeast Pennsylvania and received his Bachelor's degree in wildlife biology from Keystone College in 2021 and has worked on several bird related field projects across the US. He went on to study at Arkansas State University where he earned his Master's in Biology this past spring. Ty now works at Ducks Unlimited National Headquarters in Memphis, TN as a conservation science assistant.
