And natural history knowledge is dying with it 😭..

A great example of why as ecologists we should back, and follow up intuition! 👇🌧️🦜

This but for the world..

Crazy leucistic adult Pectoral Sand (Snowpiper..) from this w/e in southern Georgia.. have only ever seen one leucistic wader before from memory - any stats on occurence among shorebirds? Wader Study Graham Appleton

Fun to be back on the Naturally Adventurous podcast recently talking all about ornithological adventures in Equatorial Guinea, and seeing the mythical Shelley's Eagle Owl.. 🦉open.spotify.com/episode/31G8Ei… see - ebird.org/checklist/S162…

You might like Nightingales singing in their breeding range , but wait until you see them after their post-breeding moult in non-breeding range. AI delivering ornithological insights as ever 😱

congrats to the bossman Ben Freeman! Big things upcoming. Stay tuned people! Stay mountainous 🏔️ 🔅

Some heavy lines by Paul B Slud (1959) - unpacking the complexities of tropical bird communities one day at a time..

Dusk bathing by understorey birds is a familiar sight along tropical rainforest streams. I think bathing in dim light is a predator-avoidance strategy, but it's interesting to see the widespread pattern of bathtime cooling – possibly a thermoregulatory behaviour too.

🚨New stuff in American Ornithological Society! We use Bayesian multi-species mark-recapture (CMR) models to assess avian demographic rates across an elevational gradient in Honduras! Samuel Jones, @jfsaracco & Fabiola Rodríguez-Vásquez 🧵(1/7) doi.org/10.1093/ornith…

Several years ago coding me apparently inspired by Darwin 💯

Grass snowshoes - one of the avian kingdoms coolest traits.. macaulaylibrary.org/asset/204294351 eyeopening that the huge hallux of many Coucals is so often not reflected in illustrations!

The queen still reigning hard 👑

Wish someone would do this with tropical biology..

Bird field guide illustrator. No matter how poor the economy is, people still demand to know that the 2nd year subadult Hilo Coast subspecies of Hawaii Elepaio has cinnamon-tinged tips to the greater secondary coverts.

intra-tropical migrations surely much more common than we currently know - very nice paper showing climate niche tracking (to wet season) across the equator!
