Anna Lippert has a Bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Pittsburgh and brings five years of experience in wildlife field work and research, with a focus on avian species.

Prior to joining Quest, Anna gained experience through several seasonal positions where she gained a variety of field experience, including breeding season monitoring of Florida grasshopper sparrows and Florida scrub- jays at Archbold Biological Station; trapping and VHF tracking of wild turkeys with Oklahoma State University; and assisting in population research of Henslow’s sparrows with North Carolina State University.   The above experience involved field methods such as mist netting, camera traps, point counts, telemetry tracking, acoustic monitoring, and blood sampling.

Her field skills include presence/absence surveys for protected wildlife, habitat assessments in support of restoration and management, and breeding season monitoring for a variety of avian species.  This has included southeastern American kestrel nest box monitoring, burrowing owl population monitoring, shorebird nesting surveys, wild turkey population surveys using camera traps, aerial sandhill crane nest surveys, and assisting Quest’s Master Bird bander with trapping and banding of Florida scrub-jays and burrowing owls.  Anna has conducted large-scale gopher tortoise surveys, and assisted with bucket trapping and relocations.  She also brings experience in wetland mitigation monitoring, and sample collection of water, soil, and tissue in support of biological and conservation research.  Anna is experienced in applying ArcGIS Pro for field studies, habitat mapping and environmental documentation.

 Outside of work, she enjoys birdwatching, painting and drawing, reading, and writing.
