AACR2 1939 18 February 2021 Place of Birth United Kingdom Place of Death Australia Ornithologist Statistician Ken Rogers was a statistician who spent most of his career in operational research, particularly modelling of transportation and in costing insurance. He worked in Iran from 1973 to 1978, where his interest in bird watching was encouraged by the contacts he made while there, and where he became a licensed bird-bander. In 1980 he migrated to Australia with his family. He (and his family) became immersed in the bird-banding activities of the Victorian Wader Study Group. Passerines were a particular interest, and Rogers started a passerine banding project in 1982. From the early 1990s he used his statistical skills to analyse and publish on the vast amounts of information recorded on shorebirds. He became expert on demography, biometrics and moult data, and developed software to analyse bird measurements. After retiring Rogers edited Stilt for the Australasian Wader Studies Group. His publications included over 50 papers, including contributions to the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic birds. He was co-author of Bander's aid: a guide to ageing and sexing bush birds (1986). 1973 1978 Career event - Worked in Iran for the United Nations 1980 1980 Life event - Migrated to Australia 2003 2006 Career position - Editor, Stilt, Australasian Wader Studies Group Australasian Wader Studies Group (1981 - )
