Brandon Brogle's profession is for the birds - literally. As an undergraduate, Brogle '20, who studied biology at Muhlenberg, took part in groundbreaking research with the College's world-renowned Acopian Center for Ornithology. Today, Brogle, who's currently an avian field technician with EnviroScience, continues to contribute to the research and says it was a single class that propelled him into the world of birds. He wasted no time taking advantage of all things birds Muhlenberg and the Lehigh Valley had to offer, notably working under Daniel Klem, professor of ornithology and conservation biology, and ornithological specialist Peter Saenger of the Acopian Center. The research with Klem and Saenger focuses on bird deaths due to collisions with windows. Klem is a pioneer in this research, which was recently featured in National Geographic. The team also focuses on testing glass that claims to be bird-friendly (that is, it deters birds from flying into it).
