This week's #WeirdBirdOfTheWeek is the Tiny Hawk. The Tiny Hawk is 100% real and lives in South America. It's the size of a starling and weighs about as much as an apple.

NORMALIZE CHANGING YOUR OPINION WHEN PRESENTED WITH NEW INFORMATION

My thoughts on calls for peace and love when Black folks are under attack. #BlackLivesMatter #EnoughIsEnough #DismantleWhiteSupremacy Don’t hurt me. No more. link.medium.com/k9QKmHwZ16

Students applying for grad school, I have a dash of advice for you: 1- being annoying and email those professors again. They may not have seen the first email. 2- talk to the students of the lab you want to join. They’ll be honest. 3- ask about funding. Always. Y’all got this👏🏽

Just sort of felt like we all needed this right now. Sound on!

Amazing (funded!) opportunity for undergrads interested in conservation! Spread the word!

So cool to see a collaboration between The CryptoNaturalist and High Seas Science who each share such inspiring, beautiful content! this event is already full but I'll be staying tuned for the next one

Are you a biologist/land manager/naturalist in the western US (Texas-Montana and west) with porcupine observations? Could be data from camera trap pics, roadkill observations, etc. If so, please get in touch via DM! #porcupine #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #cameratrap thanks!

Please share broadly! Summer research experience in marine biology and statistical ecology that will take students to Woods Hole, the University of Kansas, and the ESA meeting in Portland during the 9 week program.
