New LMS Teacher Publishes Article

Posted Date: 02/03/2021

Sharon LeighAnn DeMerritt Garcia is a new science teacher at LMS and has published an article found in the BioOneComplete.org Database.  
When Mrs. Garcia was at Wayland University, she was part of the Bird Nerds that did avian research across Hale and Floyd Counties. One day she found a Peregrine Falcon that had died due to flying into a barb wire fence. Since Peregrine Falcon's were once considered endangered, the falcon being impaled was significant. She, Sara VanDerLeek, and Andrew Kasner worked on this publication for almost a year and a half. It was finally published in the December edition of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists. She gave us access to read the article in the link below. Congratulations on being at the great LMS campus and congrats too on being published!
