What does this mean for you? The enhanced maps reveal more local variation, providing a more detailed picture of bird migration patterns. Check out the animation we've included to see the comparison between the old and new forecast systems! (6/9)

🎉Exciting conclusion of our rally celebrating the introduction of #LightsOutNYC legislation (Intro 1039) by Council Member Francisco Moya to save millions of birds & lessen light pollution! 🕊️Thanks to Erik Bottcher @NYCAudubon Wild Bird Fund The Linnaean Society of New York Cornell Lab NYCLASS

Today is World Migratory Bird Day: a reminder that we need to be the stewards of the earth & protect our urban wildlife. 📢 PLEASE call your Council Member and urge them to sign on as co-sponsor. Let's pass #LightsOutNYC Intro 1039: bit.ly/3MlxRll

What factors are associated with concern for the electrical grid & willingness-to-pay (WTP) for electrical grid improvements in Oklahoma? Find out in our latest ERSS paper!

Thrilled to share my essay in The New York Times this morning. Thanks to Eliza Barclay and the rest of the gang. DarkSky International UVA Press Katie Grimm #Minneapolis #Minnesota #solastalgia nytimes.com/2023/06/20/opi…

Thrilled that our lab’s review paper is out and free to read at the link below! tl;dr: While death may be the most dramatic outcome when migrating birds encounter anthropogenic threats en route, even birds that survive such encounters may not be totally unscathed.

Wow, around 316 million #birds are predicted to migrate south this evening! #FallMigration is especially exciting as young, juvenile birds join the adult birds on their way South. Remember to #DimtheLights at night to help these nocturnal migrants on this impressive journey! 💡

My first first-authored article was published today in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment as part of the Special issue "Innovative Uses of Remote Sensing in Biodiversity Conservation"! We designed a multi-sensor array to assess the impact of wind on spring avian migration! peerj.com/articles/15622

Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city. Please please please consider turning lights off in your home and offices over night as our feathered friends make their journey south! 📸 Daryl Coldren

New paper out Nature Communications, led by Ulrike Scherer: We found consistent individual differences in reproductive profiles - linked to repeatable behavior diffs - across 🐟 clones raised in near-identical enviros CollectiveLabs Science of Intelligence IGB Berlin (now on Bluesky) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Light pollution poses a serious – and growing – threat to migrating birds. #ColoradoState scientists used weather radar data to map bird stopover throughout the United States. Here's a closer look at what they learned: col.st/Tf7xI

Twice a year nocturnal avian migrants traverse landscapes that are changing through natural and anthropogenic forces. Horton et al. identify light pollution as an influential predictor of bird migration stopover density. @kyle__horton CSU Warner College nature.com/articles/s4146…

Artificial light is luring birds into cities during their stopovers. Once in the cities, they can face problems like less habitat, window collisions, and more humans and cats as threats. CSU Warner College Nature Communications hubs.li/Q02cFvzn0

So, what about spring migration? Are there seasonal differences in hotspot distributions and habitat associations? How well-protected are those hotspots? Here are the answers to all the questions in our paper published today Current Biology! 🧵1/8 cell.com/current-biolog…

The year is almost over, and NYE fireworks are just around the corner. So it's time to talk birds and fireworks! Thread 🧵👇 We have now published new work in ESA Frontiers looking at the effects of fireworks on birds, using weather radar and bird counts: doi.org/10.1002/fee.26…

Excited to share our The Conversation U.S. article overviewing our recent paper in Nature Communications. Light pollution is a top predictor driving migrant stopover densities for both spring and fall migration across the contiguous U.S. @Kyle__Horton CSU Warner College theconversation.com/artificial-lig…
