Keith has been with the Centre for Conservation Research since May 2003. He is principally involved with the Centre's whooping crane (Grus americana) and mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) projects, and provides support for the development and maintenance of the Centre's databases. Before joining the Centre, Keith was involved in work on small mammal foraging ecology in southern Quebec, recruitment in tropical coral reef fish in Barbados, and habitat selection in upland nesting waterfowl in central Saskatchewan. He holds an MSc degree from McGill University, where his thesis treated foraging ecology and learning in Eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus).
