My sister is really getting into birding and I love getting her texts about new backyard birds. In the last 24 hours she has identified a Yellow-headed Blackbird and Wilson’s Snipe in her backyard. Birding really is such a great way for people to connect with nature and their local wildlife!

Harsher Amazonian dry seasons caused by climate change are linked to declining bird survival in 'pristine' Amazonia. Happy that NBC Conservation Awards Programme modestly financed some of the very early stages of this work. doi.org/10.1126/scia... #ornithology

In the midst of all this chaos and badness, excited to see this first paper out from our vineyard/songbird project. Birds didn't do much damage to grapes at all... though it was a weird year! Check out the paper (and so much more cool work to come) escholarship.org/uc/item/7841...

As the LA fires burn your feeds will be inundated with wildfire misinformation. Be skeptical of oversimplification. Do not amplify posts that lacks nuance. Info not coming from a rock solid source should not be shared. Our evergreen paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
