PhD Researcher · Fargo, ND

Zoologist, Field Biologist & Wildlife Photographer

I'm Anuj Ghimire, a Zoologist and wildlife researcher currently based in Fargo, North Dakota. I am broadly interested in how various environmental stress affects birds population and survival.

When I'm not in the field or writing up research, I document species through photography and maintain a running checklist of everything I've observed. This site is where all of it lives.
