Trevor Lloyd-Evans Avian Conservation Senior Scientist

“Over the many years, the most rewarding part of my work has been working with the thousands of young people who have participated in Manomet’s banding program.”

A highly-skilled ornithologist, Trevor Lloyd-Evans is appreciated by many for his role as a teacher, sharing his knowledge of birds with students of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, more than 20,000 school children and their teachers have visited Trevor at Manomet’s banding station which was established in 1972 as a center for landbird research and education. Manomet’s is one of the oldest landbird banding programs, tracking changes in populations and distributions in Southeastern Massachusetts.

Trevor has dedicated a significant portion of his career to a 30-year study of bird populations based on the findings in his banding lab. He has a keen interest in migration, breeding, and non-breeding habitat selection which has led to cooperative work with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the state of Connecticut. Trevor has also led research and education programs based on neotropical migrants and tropical ecology in Belize, Central America. For several years, he worked for the British Trust for Ornithology in the bird ringing and migration section, and in reduction of bird hazards for the Royal Air Force. He has had field experience in the U.S., Belize, British Isles, Canada, Ireland, Nigeria, Portugal and Spain.

Trevor holds an undergraduate degree in Zoology from the University of Wales and has taken graduate courses at Boston University. He has taught field biology techniques and analysis, behavioral ecology, conservation biology, taxonomy and evolution to a wide range of students of all ages (also as faculty for Manomet’s Field Biology Training Program in Massachusetts and Belize, 1986-97). Honorary positions include leadership and council for Nuttall Ornithological Club, Partners in Flight (State & NE Region), Massachusetts Avian Records Committee, North American (Bird) Banding Council, and the Association of Field Ornithologists.
