Profile

Jordan McCall is an M.S. student with Clemson University’s James C. Kennedy Waterfowl and Wetlands Conservation Center. She is originally from Chapin, SC, and received her bachelor’s degree in wildlife and fisheries biology from Clemson University in 2021. Throughout her undergraduate career, she contributed to the Southeastern wood duck project where she got valuable experience in the field maintaining wood duck boxes and in the laboratory processing disease samples from these boxes. This sparked her passion for wetland and waterfowl management and created many opportunities for her to pursue a career in wetland management. She also interned with the Nemours Wildlife Foundation, contributing to black rail, red-cockaded woodpecker, and alligator surveys.

Her M.S. research intends to create a baseline of wetland conditions on the Hobcaw Barony and on the DeBordieu Colony, as there are limited data available in these areas. The research consists of point-count surveys, secretive marsh bird surveys, and macroinvertebrate surveys to evaluate productivity of wetland types. This baseline will be the beginning of a long-term dataset of wetland conditions, allowing for continued research and essential information for future management.

In Jordan’s free time, she enjoys watching true crime documentaries, enjoying the beach, and spending time with her family.
