We know there are lots of organizations tugging at your purse strings on #GivingTuesday, but here's a cool opportunity to directly support bander training in Brazil. Your contribution funds fellowships for students!

@Jess_inthewild We’ll send you a note with current plans and contact info.

[North American Banding Council @BirdInTheBand]

@Jess_inthewild The NABC Banders’ Study Guide mentions amputation in cases when the tarsus is broken and is “hanging by a thread.” Otherwise it emphasizes other options (including rehab and euthanasia) and it mentions a few considerations that might be relevant to a decision.

How many of you have replaced grackle bands? They wear them out!

[Long Point Bird Obs. @LongPointBirdOb]

This band was only 5 years old, and look how thin it is! Grackles are tough on bands. #birdbanding #birdringing @BirdInTheBand @EBBA_banding @wbba_birds @ECCCSciTech @USGS @ECCCWildlifeSci @National_Band

We’re starting to see a lot of exciting start-of-season posts from banding stations and research projects, and we love it! As you share your work on social media, ensure that you always put out the best version of yourself. Our photo guidelines can help! https://t.co/ZGOoD7O2Sl

Diversity and inclusion matter . . . Share your strategies for supporting working parents!

Thanks to @susannah_lerman and Liba Goldstein for leading this collaborative paper with suggestions for how to support mothers balancing a family and a career in ornithology. We hope it will help plug a leak or two in the pipeline 🧑‍🍼🧑‍🔬🦩 https://t.co/cuC6icu2Es
