Spotted a Canada warbler while out #birding this morning and it totally made my day

American Redstart singing in the drizzle this morning. I'm looking forward to starting bird surveys soon for work #birdwatching #birdphotography

Sometimes I bring my camera out and the wildlife just don't really lend themselves to great photos, other times I happen to have my camera ready when a muskrat suddenly swims by at close range. Here's the result #wildlifephotography

Found a luna moth while working in NW Ontario this June, only the second time I've ever seen this species! With their large size and striking colouration, they are an exciting find! #fieldwork #MothsMatter

Fall is typically a good time to see a lot of mushrooms in the field, this one is from earlier this summer in northern Ontario, I have no idea what it is but I like that it reminds me of tree rings #fungi #fieldwork

Beautiful fall day 🍂spent with my co-workers planting trees and shrubs for a wetland restoration project by Conservation Halton We all showed up with rubber boots and/or waders and it turned out the site was far more dry than normal this fall

Beautiful #fall day and it was great to see several garter snakes out and about #herps

What a fascinating story about a newly described owl 🦉species: A new species of scops-owl from Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe

Check out this cool upcoming conference, it's virtual and free to register!

When I started working on owls for my PhD, I was surprised to discover how little we know about some 🦉 species. Northern Hawk Owl are one such species, and I'm so pleased to see this work on their habitat use published. Great working with Kevin Hannah and Julia Put 🦇🐦🐿️🐻 on this!

New paper: Fire severity and pre-fire forest composition affect Northern Hawk Owl presence in burned forests in western N. America sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Link for free access will work for 60 days, after that please contact me if you'd like a copy

Wishing everyone a happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪🔬🦠🥼 We are so grateful for all of the incredible scientists in our community. Here's to another great year of celebrating women & gender minorities in science 🎉

One world, united by #birds. Today is day 1 of the 2023 #GreatBackyardBirdCount! birdscanada.org/gbbc23 Birds Canada

Really happy to see this final paper from my PhD thesis published!

Out doing #owl surveys for Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas near Elliot Lake last night. Lots of frogs, but a quiet night for owls until the last station, a pair of Barred owls showed up & were calling very close! So cool! Audio clip below: (daytime pic is from a few years ago). #ONBirdAtlas2023

April 30 is the last day of the survey window for several of the owl protocols for Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas including the central Ontario protocol for Barred and Northern Saw-whet Owls. More details here: birdsontario.org/owl-nightjar-s…

Today we celebrated a visit from @LGL_enviro, a long term partner and supporter of LPBO and Birds Canada Birds Canada - Ontario Region. Thank you! Birding was slow, but a Cape May Warbler put on a show, and three Willet was a treat! #birdathon #migration 📷 Natasha Barlow and Stu Mackenzie

New paper of interest for folks with large acoustic datasets! We examined the effects of compressing ARU recordings to MP3 on acoustic indices, recognizer performance, and community listening #bioacoustics #ecoacoustics tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
