Amelia Laskey

[1] Over the course of Laskey's career, her investigations included bird breeding behavior, nesting habits, territoriality, longevity, and migration.

In 1921, she and her husband moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where Fredrick worked as a manager at the Swift and Company.

[1] Laskey's initial investigations began with the migratory behavior of chimney swifts, cowbirds, and mockingbirds, species that are common in her locale.

For this purpose, she obtained a bird banding license from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Laskey also studied bluebird nesting behavior and was the first to identify a Gambel's sparrow, a rare subspecies in Tennessee.

[1] One of Laskey's scientific methods was direct and prolonged observation of the behavior of specific individuals of a bird species.

United States government aviation authorities mandated use of such filters, thereby solving the problem of bird fatalities caused by ceilometer usage.

[9][10] Laskey was made a Fellow of the American Ornithologists' Union in 1966, an organization in which she held membership since 1933.

[3][11] The Eastern Bluebird Nesting Project in the Warner Parks of Nashville, Tennessee, was started in 1936 by Amelia Laskey.
