My brother and I defended our dissertations! I’ve accepted a postdoc at @universityofri and @BaknerNicholas at @tennesseetech. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our family, friends, and PhD committees. Proud of you Nick!

Calling all 🦆 people!

I’m hiring waterfowl technicians to collect field data for my Master’s project. Come on down to Louisiana and work with Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks, Wood Ducks, and Hooded Mergansers!

Putting the finishing touches on our custom PyTorch machine learning algorithm that automatically enumerates and speciates ducks from drone imagery!

After the first two weeks post-hatch, turkey poults begin to behave like adults, including vocalizations. One of our field techs caught these poults calling while in the field. You can hear several vocalizations from the poults, including yelps, clucks and whines.

Please RT: New PhD student position studying white-winged dove ecology in Texas with me and TPWD. Lots of banding and GPS-GSM tags + opportunities to do resource selection across an urban gradient, study disease, contaminants, harvest, and migration.

[Nick Bakner @BaknerNicholas]

Everyone go check out the new website. A lot of our archived literature and more!

[Mike Chamberlain @wildturkeydoc]

If you’re interested in wild turkeys and turkey science, check out this new site. We are adding content regularly Home - Wild Turkey Lab https://t.co/E14Snttrzk

[Wesley Boone @smammalogist]

Wildlife Techniques students @UF make videos where they address a problem w/ how wildlifers conduct research. Have a minute? Please add a question to a video - this interaction w/ professionals is immensely helpful! Thank you! @UFWildlife @UF_IFAS https://t.co/mPmHjSXLJw

New short communication in Food Webs by myself and @KevinRingelman. We used modified trail cameras to observe wood duck nests and found red-bellied woodpeckers depredate and consume eggs when nests are unguarded.

And we're off!

The Nebraska wild turkey project has hit the ground running. So far, our team has deployed GPS transmitters on 51 birds (on our way to 120 total). Stay tuned for more updates!

@abigailthiemkey My dad harvested this red fox in south central PA a couple weeks back with quills stuck in its nose. Area we are in is not known to have porcupines but guess there are a few around. Had to be painful though!

[Taylor Linder @TjLinder]

Looking for a fun, awesome summer job? Come join our team! We are looking for five technicians to join our team here in North Dakota to search for, and monitor, grassland bird nests. Applications received by January 15th will receive full consideration, so apply today! @FelegeLab

[Nick Bakner @BaknerNicholas]

I have more photos and details just couldn’t post them on here!

[Nick Bakner @BaknerNicholas]

We have this one stream we’ve been trapping muskrats in Pennsylvania. The juvenile muskrats we’ve been catching have these growths on their body. This growth is definitely the largest we’ve seen. Any mammalogist out there have any insight on this?

[Mossy Oak Gamekeepers @MOGameKeepers]

Brood Rearing | @wildturkeydoc explains the scientific data he has gathered to help better understand habitat conditions hens prefer when raising poults and what we can do to improve that habitat.
