Major studies out of Brazil, Pennsylvania, and Chicago have all uncovered a somewhat bizarre trend: Many birds are shrinking in size as the planet gets hotter. Why is this happening? Read our explainer by Lauren Leffer. audubon.org/news/many-bird…

Today, an esteemed scientist compared my research on the genetics of plumage color in #birds to solving a cold case. A high compliment for me: an early-career evolutionary biologist and #murderino. Can I list “forensics of bird color” as one of my disciplines? (1/9)

Doing miscellaneous field work however I can as I await for my tagged birds to return in April! Here’s a golden bird (Henslow’s Sparrow) in the golden sunlight we caught while dredging through some fantastic Longleaf Savannahs in southern Louisiana

slightly better duck names

And...it's out! AVONET, a collection of morphological measurements and ecological trait data for 90,020 individual birds representing 11,009 species, fully integrated with phylogenetic, geographic, IUCN, and eBird info, published today in Ecology Letters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

My MSc research looking at the impact of rainfall patterns on Swainson's Warbler space use has been published! Read our paper (w/@OSU_AvianEco Peter Marra ) to see how these secretive birds respond to changing conditions! American Ornithological Society Birds Caribbean 🐦🇯🇲 academic.oup.com/auk/advance-ar…

Please RT! We are hiring a field technician to recapture Swainson’s Warblers with geolocators in Virginia this spring! See the official job listing for more details: ornithologyexchange.org/jobs/board/sho…

An update from team Swainson’s Warbler: many geolocators have been recovered so far! Despite a huge influx of young birds on territories at all sites (a good problem to have). From each state - LA = 7, MO = 3, SC = 3, VA = 3, TN = 3. Still a long ways to go!
