A hummingbird subspecies endemic to the Equadorian High Andes, was discovered nesting in groups, leading to new questions about the drivers of colonial behavior in hummingbirds. The New York Times story: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/s... Ornithology paper: doi.org/10.1093/orni...

Every week I get this email and read it as β€œEvilDoers” instead of Evol and it still disappoints me everytime

Genuine Q floating thru my head this week and may be silly to ppl who understand govt so pls be nice: Why don’t ppl just NOT do what we all know is illegal and unconstitutional? Why is it suddenly ok to do just because a manbaby wrote his name on a piece of paper? I too can write my name on paper

Listen to the babyyyyyyyyy πŸ’•

This!.It’s something I’ve struggled with the most as a grad student since I like to take my time and mull on things! Cozy gaming where I just farm or build is great for giving me this thinking time tho without feeling like I’m not doing anything 😊

It's that time of year where I post this one

I’m really curious about what other birb ppl think vs. what I know is now correct, cause my advisor literally had to draw it out with me for my brain to truly let it sink in… and I study this. πŸ˜‚ So come at me #birds #ornithology peeps! What are the birds that learn their vocalizations? 🎢🦜

We became an official PhD candidate this week y’all time to break out the fancy bubbly juice in the special quail glass!! 🍾πŸ₯‚πŸŽ‰

I have a problem. I pity buy fishies that are all alone at the store when I have a group of them at home. Poor lil glowlight was all alone with the froggies, I couldn’t just LEAVE him there! πŸ’•πŸ  #aquarium

VERY excited for her meownthly dunkin πŸ˜‹
