Even the mighty eagle has to learn to fly, optimising the extraction of atmospheric energy with experience published in eLife - the journal. Only through time they unravel the full potential of their morphing energy landscapes. Elham Nourani Vogelwarte_Science Migration Dept., Max Planck Inst. Animal Behavior

15 km on my bike + a few more in a ferry and a few more in a bus to go and buy a car. How was your day?

Hi #AcademicChatter and especially #postdoc. How do you manage the time between your current position and the things (papers?) you didn't finish from previous positions?

Great advice by John Endler at the first plenary of #ISBE2024

New paper out! 🚨🚨🚨 I am very excited to share our latest research, where we used telemetry data to assess the year-round roost use of resident Egyptian vultures in southwestern Spain. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

After a very difficult and unproductive year, it feels really good to once again be working on finalizing some papers and revising another paper.

This is so cool - a black kite we tagged last year seems to want to be near humans (eventually landing in a damp site), but completely avoiding the city itself. #urbanecology #conservation #ecology #ornithology

#AcademicChatter Not finishing an assignment in the time I scheduled for it: "I was inefficient" Finishing ahead of time: "It was easier than I thought"

Wow

Why did the pelican (blue) land at the same place as the vulture (green)? Took me a few minutes to realize that this is just another incident of GPS-jamming that is becoming more and more problematic for wildlife research (and other things) around the world.

Not how I wanted to see my first Snow Vole :( #cats #conservation #ecology

So, who's on Bluesky?

#BOUsci24 is days away and we hope you'll be following along with presentations here on X We are also working to grow #ornithology on Bluesky 🔵☁️ so why not follow our feed on the other side: bsky.app/profile/ibisjo… Lynda Donaldson @drkevinwood

Amazing to hear Edi Rama deliver his heartfelt observations at COP29 Azerbaijan on the lack of political will to take the big bold actions we all know are necessary to really tackle the #ClimateEmergency. Just Stop Oil
