Excited to see this paper out! We show the relationship between the expansion of Snail Kites to northern Florida & the invasion of a new prey In this neat figure by @FletcherEcology one can see the bill latitudinal gradient across years & the kite northward expansion in 2018

Why do natural history museums collect specimens? 🐦‍⬛ Discover the answer to this question in the new temporary exhibit created by KU Biology Ph.D student Katherine Crawford! The exhibit examines evolutionary changes using house sparrows collected over the last 100 years.

Can someone ask for a more rock star advisor? Doubt it

And it’s not even Minnesota….
