Logan Parker is an ecologist and the founder of the Maine Nightjar Monitoring Project. In 2017, Logan initiated this grassroots, citizen-science driven effort when he first learned of declining nightjar populations in New England. In 2020, Logan co-founded the Global Nightjar Network to form partnerships with other nightjar monitoring efforts around the world. He served as the lead technician for the recently completed Maine Bird Atlas (2018-2022) and is one of the co-authors of the Atlas' publication (coming 2026).

When not out looking for nightjars, Logan enjoys birding, naturalizing, gardening, and spending time with his family at home in Waldo County, Maine.
