Hello fellow #INaturalist users! Check out this project started by us members of the Loggerhead Shrike Working Group #shrikeforce in order to track geographic variation in shrike diet through #larder caches (impaled prey items).

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

@CDuchardt I did indeed carry around a stick with a variety of “impaled” prey items hanging from it! 😆

Thanks to @FieldOrnith for putting on a great conference! I enjoyed learning about the society’s history, hearing about all the current field research, and soaking in the fall foliage. #AFO100

@CheloniaGirl @Ok2Panic @BovesLab We didn’t see the owl on the morning of the Jonesboro Christmas Bird Count this year. I was afraid it had found a new home!

So did anyone else do something exciting for Halloween? Watch this 24-hour time-lapse video of our corpse plant blooming! This bloom will likely last only 48 hours total. Get your ticket at https://t.co/iPnvygMhph and come see it in person tomorrow before 5 pm! #corpseflower
