What are the Odds? Statistics Prof Photographs Rare Bird

One morning in January 2011, Dr. Larry Ammann, a professor of statistics at UT Dallas, discovered a mysterious stranger in his back yard.  
Two years later, that stranger’s identity is not only known, it’s also been shared with millions of people thanks to a popular TV game show.

Ammann, who has been a faculty member in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics since 1975, is an avid nature photographer. In 2011, he spotted a female northern cardinal at a bird feeder at his home in Dallas.
