Always a fun challenge to communicate one of my PhD chapters into a single photo & bit of text!

Apparently it's #WorldSparrowDay2024 ! So here's a shout-out to my favourite sparrow: Ammospiza nelsoni or Nelson's Sparrow!

These birds have to fight a constant battle with the tides, they sound like the opening of a can of beer, and the females are hard-working lil badasses 🤩

I've submitted 100 eBird lists so far this year! This means I'm averaging more than one list per day 🥳

This past week I've added a lot of first-of-the-year birds to my 2024 list: Red-winged Blackbird, Common Grackle, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, & Dark-eyed Junco!

The ice is breaking up, the days are getting long, and the Song Sparrows and chickadees are starting to sing! Winter is coming to an end.

Heck yes, Twitter showed up for me with this request. I will need to take some time to go through all these recommendations, but keep 'em coming! 🐦🐦🐦

Making a Spotify playlist with some labmates that's all songs related to birds - what songs MUST be on this playlist?!? Gimme your recommendations! 🎶🐦

I've been keeping a list of all the species that the neighbourhood starlings can mimic:

- Greater Yellowlegs
- Sora
- Purple Finch
- Eastern Phoebe
- American Goldfinch
... anyone heard others??

They're making my snowy winter walks more interesting 😅

In one night, a 1000 birds can fatally collide with a single building. The problem is a mixture of light pollution and reflective glass. We have the tools to fix these problems, and yet, collisions continue. We argue that federal enforcement is needed: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

As spring approaches, we’re seeking field technicians for a variety of positions across the country. Come join our flock! birdscanada.org/about-us/job-o…

Very cool #seabird postdoc Bowdoin College working with Leach's storm petrels on Kent Island! Sounds like the perfect spot for someone who wants to do research, teach, and live in Maine for a bit!!
